I have also heard that raspberry leaf can induce labor and then I have also heard that it does not. Whatever the case may be, you don't want to take it just to be on the safe side.

There is something called "Prenatal Tea" which can be taken in tea form or in caplets in the last 6 weeks before pregnancy. It is made by Dr. Christopher. It is safe during this time for preparation for labor.

You can probably find a bottle of this at a health food store or online.

Oh and I would say keep away from the raspberry leaf. If there's any chance it can cause your baby to be born early then it's not worth the risk. Your uterus will do just fine on its own I'm sure Wink
