Mountain Meadow Herbs Gentle Birth, 4 oz, Contains Labor Inducing Herbs in a Pure Herbal Liquid Extract for Childbirth Support w/o Blue Cohosh - 4oz

I took this as the bottle suggested 3x’s a day starting at 35 weeks along side Evening Primrose Oil starting at 37 weeks. I bought this to help me in having a successful VBAC and it did just that ! I went into labor at 39weeks and 3days just 4 days before my due date. The day I went into labor, I had a doctors appt. that afternoon at 3pm. When my midwife checked my cervix it was closed and I was dilated only 1cm. I was determined to have my baby naturally and I knew if I went pass my due date, I would be pushed to get induced ! So I went home that day and started nipple stimulation at 6pmish. Around 7:30ish I began having contractions, I didn’t think much of it. They were a bit strong but tolerable and not to painful. Around 9pm I contacted my doula, we timed my contractions for an hour. They were coming every 2-3 mins and lasting 40sec. and at this point I was in active labor! Right before I made it to the hospital my water broke ! I made it to the hospital at 11pm. My doula could not believe how well I was handling the contractions that were coming an going so quickly, I was literally up talking, walking and breathing through every contraction. My contractions were still strong, effective and very much so tolerable. When the nurse checked my cervix I was 8-9cm dilated, almost fully effaced, soft cervix. The nurses were shocked in how calm I was. They were like you’re handling this pretty well to be so close to possibly giving birth soon! Around 2am I was fully dilated. Due to my babies position *sunny side up* I ended up pushing for almost 5 hrs🥵. I had to have a vacuum suction assistance to help bring his head out of my birth canal. He made his grand entrance at 8:16am!💙 This tincture definitely helped with the birth I envisioned. I dilated so quickly once my contractions started and it also helped prep my body to give birth. If it wasn’t for my babies position he definitely would have been born sooner. Even so, I was still in labor for only 13hours! My birth was indeed gentle, all natural and quick. I did tear a bit only because of the vacuum assistance and even while been sown up it did not hurt that bad. I didn’t think I could do it, I feared I was going to have a 2nd C-section but taking this tincture along side EPO definitely helped me achieve a non-medicated, natural VBAC. I will most definitely purchase this tincture again for any and every future pregnancy I may have❤️

Took it with my first as recommended by the directions on the bottle. Also in combination with 6 dates a day and 24-40oz of red raspberry leaf tea each day also beginning at 35 weeks. For a FTM and 40+3 I began timing contractions at 6pm (in hindsight I was in labor before then and just didn’t know at the time). Baby was earthside at 9:41pm the same night with a completely undmedicated birth and he came out in 1 push (head, sac broke, then his body came out) I didn’t practice push and waited for fetal ejection reflex. Ended with a tiny internal tear that didn’t need stitches. Pain was manageable considering we are talking about birthing a whole baby, and in combination with the dates and tea (because who knows what truly helps and doesn’t) I do think it was effective. Ordered my second bottle to use starting this week with my second baby!

Taste is a little bitter and wish it was a bit cheaper but I do think this helped with my birth. No tears and quick labor!

I think the effectiveness of this tincture varies from woman to woman. With my first child I did all the red raspberry leaf, dates, primrose oil, etc and went into labor at 40 +2 and had a longgg 30 hour labor. Was at a 3 cm forever, I don't think I was dilated at all when labor started. With my second, I started this tincture at 35 weeks, morning and night. After that I started having cramping and Braxton hicks pretty consistently. However I did not go into labor until 41+4 days. I needed 2 membrane sweeps. However, the day before I went into labor I was dilated to a 4 already. I went into labor at 3-4 am, and had him at 2 pm. Smooth, quick labor pushed for 10 minutes. My baby wasn't engaged, and was sunny side up until it was time to push. I think this tincture helped me dilate so that my labor was much quicker. I will be buying this for future children. Taste was fine in my opinion just mixed with a little water. Personally feel this helps prepare the body for a quicker labor rather than put the body into labor if that makes sense.labor was still intense and got the epidural

I truly believe this was the reason my first birth went so easy! Started it at 35 weeks as directed and ended up having preeclampsia. They told me since I’m a first time mom and getting induced it may be a very long process. They said they would have to break my water and start pitocin to get the contractions going. Once I was there and they started me on cytotek my water broke on its own and my body started going into labor on its own! Was only in labor for around 9 hours and I did not tear, highly recommend this!
