I was going to say make it weaker next time, but sounds like you did, I have read a lot on the tea and have never come across anything suggesting that it could have these kind of effects, unless you are allergic i guess.

Anyone who has had the raspberry leaf tea, did you have any kind of strange reaction to it? I drank my first cup last night and it was so yummy. Then later on, I suddenly felt extremely nauseous. Tmi- I kept feeling like I needed to have a bowel movement and went 3-4x in about 10 minutes. I also felt dizzy. Then when I laid down, I started shaking uncontrollably. I was thinking of going to the ER when it all stopped as fast as it came on. It only lasted probably 30-45 minutes total. I don't know if the tea caused it or not. I really want to keep drinking it, but not if it makes me feel like that!

Ok I have two concerns about this - firstly that you could be allergic to it - that is very similar to the way anaphylaxis can manifest itself sometimes where medicine is concerned, and while I think if that had been the case you'd have gotten a rash/swelling, it may have just been a harbinger of an allergic reaction.

The other concern I have is that there may have been something yucky in the tea that wasn't RRLT - so either an herb that isn't supposed to have gotten mixed in there, or insect parts.

I would take it back where I got it from.

I wish I had come on here and read this a few minutes ago before I drank more! Now I'm kinda freaking out! I used the same tea bag as yesterday too, so it was extra weak. I guess it's just a waiting game now. I have no idea what I would've been allergic to in it. I couldn't find anything on side effects either. I really hope it was just a fluke thing or it was something else that caused it. It was just so weird how short it was.

Edit: Well, nothing happened this time! And it was the same tea bag! I just got sleepy right after, but that was probably just because it was soothing. And I was semi freaking out something would go wrong. This is about what time it happened last night, and I drank it even earlier tonight. Thanks so much ladies!

Happy birthday, Willow Rose!! :D Congrats HBP!!!

Mrshonyez~ Hope you're feeling better and glad it wasn't the tea causing it. xx

Got a cerclage removal date!! :) 3/14/13.. My peri found that I have funneled though, not 100% sure when it happened but it might have started sometime last week. He's not too concerned, since I've made it to almost 33 weeks, the funnel hasnt reached my stitch yet and I still have 2.9cm of closed cervix left. One week of bed rest left, according to his advice but I'm still going to take it easy after the stitch is out to keep baby baking as long as possible.
