There is no proof that raspberry leaf tea will help you get pregnant, this is highly unlikely, however many herbalists claim that it is helpful for pregnant women to drink raspberry leaf tea as it contains essential vitamins. It is likely that it is soothing, as is any herbal tea, and this is where the positive effect lies.
