Blackmores Raspberry Leaf

Good – It's hard to tell if these things make a difference because there is no way of knowing how things may have been if I didn't take them. Having said that I had a nice short labor for my first pregnancy. Presented at the hospital at 5pm and had baby with a few pushes at 12am. I believe the raspberry leaf did work. It's hard to drink heaps of raspberry leaf tea even if you don't mind the taste. I had the tea first but after drinking 4-6 times a day I got sick of it pretty quick, once I had these tablets I didn't have to force so much tea down anymore I could just have it when I actually 'wanted' to. nothing major, I guess they don't taste great.

Good – Some chemists had this product at a reasonable price, i took it from 34 weeks and i stopped taking it a week before i delivered. I really do think it helped me through the delivery process, it only took 40mins of pushing to deliver my daughter and the midwife said that was good for a first timer! will take this supplement during my next pregnancy (from 3rd trimester only). convenient dose of Raspberry leaf extract instead of drinking HEAPS of the tea which is vile! the amount of tablets you had to take

Terrible – i couldn't buy these at the grocery shop (like all the other blackmores tablets), i hated the taste and stopped taking them after a few days, i preferrd the tea easy to take and nicer taste. i would never take raspberry leaf tablets ever again. i could only purchase these at a health food store, hard to swallow, yucky taste, expensive (compared to the teas), have to take a lot in one day.
