Early Labor?: "cramps" in your third trimester of pregnancy is something your OB doctor should investigate. And no, do not use raspberry leaf tea in pregnancy. It can induce labor, and has been used for that purpose. Evening primrose oil inserted vaginally to "ripen" cervix is not safe either, as it can cause bruising in the infant. At only 32 weeks, it is too soon to try to hasten delivery this way!
