The short answer is no. There's no real evidence to show that drinking raspberry leaf when you're overdue will kick things off. Instead, the evidence shows that it can lead to a shorter second stage and fewer interventions when you're delivering your baby. This is why we recommend drinking it as part of your birth preparation from 32 weeks.
You can start drinking raspberry leaf tea at 32 weeks. We recommend having 1 cup a day from 32 weeks, 2 cups from 33 weeks, and a maximum of 3 cups from 33 weeks until your baby arrives.
It is 40% raspberry leaf and 60% peppermint. This is to give a natural sweetness to balance the flavour, and the peppermint can also help heartburn, which is a major issue for many women at the end of pregnancy. Also, the raspberry leaf we use is whole leaf, so you can get more of it's benefits compared to dust, which is found in a normal tea bag, this can lose its goodness to the air quickly after production.
If you're pregnant, there are a few occasions not to drink raspberry leaf. We recommend talking to your midwife or healthcare provider for specific guidance if you have any concerns.

Verginiya GutovaGreat present.
GemmaAbout to start my third box of the "final push" tea. A welcome part of my birth prep, I personally prefer to brew it and then make it into a cold drink.. (ice & lemonade!) I had a slight issue with one of my boxes but contacted HOT TEA MAMA via social media and got a really quick and friendly reply and they sent out a new box straight away, very much appreciated and unusual these days to have such responsive customer service. Definitely a brand to get behind! Will definitely be looking into some of the other teas they have available too now. Thank you!
Kathryn MI’ve been having The Final Push tea for about a week now and have loved the fast. It’s really light and you could easily drink 2 cups a day. I’m hoping if helps my body get ready for labour. I’m due in 1 weeks so fingers crossed!
ChelsieI highly recommend these! Started drinking them from 36 weeks 2/3 cups a day, my waters went 5 days later & my little girl arrived at 37 weeks. Definitely worth the money 😊
