When to start having raspberry leaf tea?

Hi im 26 week pregnant and was wondering when/ if everyone else used raspberry leaf tea in pregnancy and when they started having it? I tried googling it but there is so much conflicting information! Some say its safe from 26 weeks, others dont recommened it until 35 weeks! I have some of the tea but havnt tried it yet. Any advise would be much appreciated! x Oh also is 26 weeks 3rd trimester? Or am I still in 2nd? Getting confused as to where to post my questions! x

I started at 32 weeks which seems to be ok - but start gradually! I am on the capsules as can't bear the tea - but am currently 34+3 and up to 3 a day out of a max of 6... I am increasing it by 1 a week.

I would say leave it until AT LEAST 30 weeks just to be safe, although there is no evidence of it bringing on contractions / labour
