My 3 top herbs for pregnancy & labor prep: *none of these have been shown to INDUCE labor. They are safe nutritive herbs for pregnancy & postpartum. 🫶🏼 1. Red Raspberry Leaf 🌿 Red raspberry leaf is known for its ability to tone the uterus, strengthening uterine muscles, which may help with more efficient contractions during labor. It also contains minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, which are essential for both maternal health and labor preparation. Drinking red raspberry leaf tea in the second and third trimesters can support overall energy levels and help the body stay nourished for the demands of labor. 2. Nettle Leaf 🌿 Nettle is rich in vitamins (A, C, K, and several B vitamins) and minerals (especially iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium), making it excellent for remineralizing the body. It supports blood health, boosts energy, and helps prevent anemia, which can be especially beneficial in pregnancy. Nettle can also help increase milk production postpartum. Its nutrient profile helps prepare the body for the energy needs of labor. 3. Oatstraw 🌿 Oatstraw is nourishing, calming, and revitalizing. It’s rich in silica, calcium, magnesium, and B vitamins, all of which are essential for muscle health, energy, and relaxation. This herb is particularly helpful for soothing the nervous system, promoting mental clarity, and preparing the body for the physical and emotional stress of labor.
