I am six-seven weeks pregnant and have been bleeding for 48 hours now without cramping.
I have been drinking a tea every four hours, except during the night of:
shepherds purse and lady's mantle
The bleeding seems to be slowing but I was thinking of adding:
red raspberry leaf and cramp bark (which I will brew separately and add to the tea)
I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts on these combinations. My use of them has been intuitive so far. I have rested and relaxed and stayed deep within, feeling much better today.

I used a False Unicorn tincture in my first pregnancy, because I was experiencing severe cramping yet no bleeding. I was concerned so started the tincture according to Susun's recommendations. I also drank a ton of RRL tea. Not sure if it did anything for me, but I carried to 42 weeks and delivered a healthy baby!
Have you consulted a doctor or midwife about the bleeding?

Thank you!
I have consulted a midwife.
I don't have any false unicorn root tincture but did end up having one cup of cramp bark last night. Woke up this morning and bleeding has nearly stopped. Hoping that it stops and doesn't come back!
I might start drinking the red raspberry in a few days.

I started drinking raspberry leaf and stopped drinking the other herbs on Saturday. The bleeding had pretty much stopped by then. There was none on Sunday and there has been none since. I am thankfully, still pregnant.

You are right on with what my local herbalist has told me. She suggests drinking Raspberry leaf tea every day during pregnancy and while trying to get pregnant. She has said that because it strengthens the uterus, it can help prevent miscarriages. When I was dealing with threatened miscarriage, she also had me take a tincture of cramp bark, lady's mantle, and wild yam. Glad to read that what you were doing worked for you!
