A member asked:

Can too much red raspberry leaves during first trimester harm the pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Red raspberry leaves are peddled as an overpriced tea along with misleading health claims. There's also a legend that it will make your delivery easier, and another that it will harm the pregnancy. So far as i can tell, it's not really phamracologically active.

Dr Loret De Mola agreed
