Raspberry leaf tea is a well-known third-trimester staple, traditionally used to support labour preparation by encouraging gentle toning of the uterine muscles. Many mums reach for it in the final weeks as a simple ritual that helps them feel more connected, supported, and ready for the journey ahead.

This organic blend from Franjos Kitchen is intentionally simple - just pure raspberry leaf, with no caffeine, no added sugar, and no fillers. The plant-based, biodegradable tea bags are free from microplastics, so you can sip safely and skip the loose leaf mess.

Formulated by a naturopath and midwife, it’s a gentle, single-ingredient option that delivers the benefits without anything unnecessary.

GDM notes for raspberry leaf tea

  • Get the all-clear first

    Raspberry leaf tea may have a mild blood-sugar-lowering effect for some women, which can matter if you’re taking insulin or oral medication. Get the go-ahead from your GP, midwife, or diabetes educator before starting.

  • Introduce it gradually

    Once approved, begin with small amounts and see how your body responds. Pay attention to how you feel and keep an eye on your blood sugar readings after drinking to make sure everything stays steady.

  • Monitor and review often

    If you notice any changes in your glucose patterns, reach out to your care team. Regular check-ins with your GP, midwife, or diabetes educator ensure the tea is working safely alongside your GDM plan.

Benefits of drinking raspberry leaf tea in late pregnancy

Raspberry leaf tea has earned its third-trimester reputation for a reason. The alkaloid fragine is thought to gently support and tone the uterine muscles, helping them work more efficiently as your body prepares for labour.

It also provides a small nutritional boost with calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc and vitamins A, C, E, and B complex. And because it’s an astringent herb, raspberry leaf may also support recovery by helping with postpartum bleeding.

Why we love this one for gestational diabetes

Formulated by a naturopath and midwife, this blend by Franjos Kitchen is intentionally simple: pure, organic raspberry leaf - no caffeine, no added sugar, no fillers.

Not all raspberry leaf teas are this straightforward, so if you're considering other brands it’s worth checking labels; some blends include extra herbs or s`weeteners that may not suit you in late pregnancy, especially when managing GDM.

When to start sipping

Starting any earlier then 32 weeks gestation isn’t advised because your body doesn’t need that additional stimulation before the later stages of pregnancy.

Start slowly, and gradually increase the amount with guidance from your care provider.

Week 32–34: 1 cup daily

Week 35–36: 2 cups daily

Week 37–40: 2–3 cups daily
