@vancouverkiz & wethepeople, brewed as a tea or infusion, raspberry leaf is the best known, most widely used, & safest of all uterine/pregnancy tonic herbs. It contains an alkaloid which gives tone to the muscles of the pelvic region, including the uterus. RL contains vit A & B complex & many minerals, phosphorous, potassium, rich concentration of vit C, vit E, calcium & iron. Raspberry leaf nourishes the uterus with nutrients.

great advice

@hags82 Everyone has their views, but as a student herbalist I've learned it's safe and effective throughout pregnancy

[hags82]

@aiysmama I agree with you! although it shouldn't be taken until the final 6 weeks of pregnancy.

@mariecharles212 i totally agree with you on that! 100% percent. i couldnt even take the prenatal vitamins bc how much iron was in there and i tried 4 different types of brands. people just assume now a days that the doctors are the ones to take care of pregnancy as if to be a disease instead of something natural and women rather go blindly into pregnancy and birth instead of ACTUALLY reading up on it. ignorance is not bliss, neither is a smug attitude :( sheep will be sheep lol.

@aiysmama they say that about everything that has to do with herbal. to be honest ive been drinking herbal tea anyways, so far nothing bad has happened. its all about how much your doing. anything excessively being put into your body will effect the baby, thats why you should keep a mental note on how much you consume. so yes alysmama your right.

i keep watching this video over and over. i havent been able to take prenatal vitamins due to most of them having iron in them. i also dodge foods with MSG in it like the plague and eat meats in moderation (bc of how much hormones are in it now a days) so far Ive been eating very well, gained little fat, and having a super healthy strong baby. each time my doctor sees me his smiles gets broader and broader i guess its because i follow what they tell me to do and keep things under control :)
