Hi I'm 35 weeks ftm I have started drinking the tea 1 cup a day and getting abdominal cramps and an increase in braxton hicks.. do I need to stop having it?

Tell me your own experiences with the tea? Did it help anyone?

I use a brand called holland & barrett not sure if it's only UK based.. and used one bag in a mug with bit of honey to adjust taste for about a week.

Think il have to slow down on it and have every other day maybe. Will ask midwife about it too

Braxton hicks are a good sign if you having consisting contractions I would say slow down.

Are you doing loose leaf or bags of it? If you're doing bags and only drinking one cup a day, it's actually really beneficial, because red raspberry leaf tea is a uterine toner. When you start making it more concentrated or double/triple bag it, that's when it can help to trigger labor.
