Raspberry Leaf Tea strengthens the womb and may assist contractions. Many people believe that if it is drunk regularly in the second or third trimesters it can reduce the length of labour pains and make delivery easier.
It is best not to drink raspberry leaf tea during the first trimester because in early pregnancy it may cause miscarriage.

The less alcohol you drink the better since alcohol passes through the placenta and affects your baby. No one knows how much alcohol is safe, but we do know that a high consumption of alcohol can affect your baby's growth and can interfere with your baby’s ability to get enough oxygen and nourishment for normal cell development in the brain and other organs. Current guidelines say its safe to drink one or two units of alcohol once or twice a week but some experts advise cutting it out altogether.
One unit of alcohol is the equivalent of: 100 mls of wine (1 small glass) |
