Hey guys

I’m just wondering if anyone could help. I have endometriosis and am 35 weeks pregnant. I have heard that Rasberry leaf tea/tablets are good for pregnancy and also good for endometriosis but I have just come across something saying you shouldn’t take Rasberry leaf whilst pregnant if you suffer with endometriosis.. does anyone know why this is??

It actually brings on contractions. When I was overdue it helps to move things along. Still had to be induced but it is not safe to use it until full term.

How would it cause a miscarriage? It shouldn’t be taken that early in pregnancy?
