I'm curious - Has anyone ever gone overdue even when they've taken Raspberry Leaf tea?

I took rasberry leaf tablets and was 10 days early. Not sure if the tablets are more potent than the tea, most likely ....
I had a 9lb4oz baby though so maybe he was just ready to come early anyway.

5 days overdue.
I didn't think it was supposed to induce you, but it is supposed to help your uterus or something?

#1: 4 days over
#2: 5 days over
#3: 1 day early
#4: Feels like it will be overdue!

I've only used the pills. And like MamaT I believe it's to help your uterus rather than cause you to go early or anything.

11 days over, but yeah it's supposed to help with toning your uterus. Supposed to make for a shorter pushing (2nd) stage I think.

Hell yes. 16 days over (including 3 days of induction). RLT definitely made my uterus do something as I would get tightenings after drinking it. My actual labour was 5 hours though I did need synto (and 2nd stage was 6 minutes, so maybe it helped there!)

Didn't do any harm though, and that was my main criteria for trying it.

induced 11 days over with #1 (with the tea)
natural 12 days over with #2 (with the tablets & EPO)

I did find that my BH contractions were really strong after having the raspberry leaf and my labours were both quite fast (5.5 and 4 hours)

My midwife didn't recommend it. She said it was a marketing gimmick and most women thought they would have baby early etc when that's not what it is meant for.
