Mountain Meadow Herbs Gentle Birth Prep, Without Blue Cohosh, 4oz

HOME WATER BIRTH was INCREDIBLE! I started this at 36 weeks and made sure to also do pelvis floor exercises. I was in small labor spurts for a week or 2 but ended up having my daughter early. I did a home water birth, and it was the easier birth I’ve ever had. I know for a fact this worked as this is my 4th natural birth/ 2nd home birth and it gave me energy , 5 hour labor and 25 min push. I was dancing through labor pains 30 min before my water broke and babygirl was ready to come on out. The taste to me was good lol, my body felt strong and I had no crazy side effects, just prepare to maybe feel like your starting labor days before and it go ahead . I think it was just the body really practicing well from the tincture. I am going to contact Gentle Birth to share my birth video, I didn’t make a sound I only breathed through my whole labor, no tearing and after the ambulance got us from the house, we were healthy and discharged in 24 hours exactly. I loved it!

36 weeks, been taking this for a whole week twice a day as suggested. No noticeable side effects when taken as instructed. Great natural ingredients. I hope to see good results with it once our baby comes! Would recommend as a labor prep option!

I took this about 5 weeks before both of my children were born and had a 5 hour labor for the first and a 2 hour labor for second. I won’t birth without it. It was recommended by my homebirth midwife. The taste isn’t great but it’s a small amount taken easily with juice. I recommend this product ask your caregiver of course.

Came in quickly and was exactly what my midwife asked for! Helped with getting ready for birth! Highly recommend for anyone doing a birth center or home birth

It worked fast with absorbing into my body. I started taking it late in my pregnancy, but my contractions were intense at the end. I started at 38 weeks 0 days. I had my baby within 4 hours at 38 Weeks 4 days. I usually have a long labor process, 12-24 hours (3 kids). I started active labor around 8:30/9pm. I went for a walk and did exercise to bring him down at 9/9:30pm. My mucus plug came out at 10:40pm. I showered and waited for my husband to get off work. By 12 a.m., it was intense. I couldn’t even use any of my hospital labor stuff because I got there at 12:40 a.m., and I delivered him at 1:43am. I stayed in active labor at 9pm. I went from 4cm and -3 station to pushing within 30 mins of being in the triage room.

I purchased the tincture without blue cohosh. Let me start off by saying this was my 3rd child and 2nd Vbac and wanted the best outcome I could have. I know this stuff has magical powers because I took it with my first and was 4cm dilated by the time of his due date. My second, I didn’t take it at all and was not dilated at all by his due date. With the most recent delivery of my 3rd baby (literally yesterday) I started taking at 35 weeks and 2 days. I had my 36 week appointment and was already dilated 2 cm. I wasn’t having any contractions really but would try to get some walks in when I could. By 38-39 weeks I stayed at 3cm and only notice cramps but nothing horrible. By 39 weeks and 2 days I started noticing more frequent contractions and thought maybe labor was on its way. I had 2 days of more intense contractions and yesterday am (39 weeks 6days) I had my checkup and I was 4cm dilated and very thin/soft. After I left my appointment I was having mild but steady contractions. I continued to have them throughout the day and by 5 pm I started feeling like it was the real deal. My contractions were painful but manageable. By 6:40 pm I could barely walk and was in so much pain. The car ride to the hospital was excruciating and by the time I got to the hospital and checked in I was 8 cm dilated. This was amazing for me, as my first 2 births were both inductions and I never experienced spontaneous labor. I won’t say that this helped with labor contractions but breathing through them was manageable, I was just too uncomfortable and luckily I was able to get an epidural. By the time we were checked into our room and all the IVs were in it was probably 8:30pm and I gave birth at 9:44pm. I truly believe this tincture helped me to be able to labor over the course of a few days and have a quick transition. I believe I pushed for 5-10 minutes and she came quick! My uterus definitely did most of the work and my post birth checkups they said it was very firm. I bled a little more (as I did with the last one) but today I’d say the bleeding is under control, again something I think that gentle birth contributed to. 1000% recommend to strengthen your uterus for labor and delivery!

Started this at 37 weeks as instructed by my midwife. I had a home birth planned, went into labor at 40w and 3 days and was in labor for about 48 hours at home with very strong contractions however they were inconsistent. Sometimes 1-2 minutes apart and sometimes upwards of 10 minutes apart and only dilated 4cm in that time. Decided to go to the hospital to speed things up and get pain management and had my baby 7 hours later with the help of Pitocin and an epidural. Even though my baby seemed to be in the perfect LOA position, birth is just unpredictable. Hard to say it “worked” for me, but I can say that I found the taste the be tolerable and I never had any negative side effects from taking it.

So. I started taking this (no blue cohosh version) as directed about 5 weeks before my due date. I took it very regularly, didn’t miss a single dose. Went into labor at 40+3, very quick labor. Contractions started and stopped a couple times a day before. Active labor was maybe 12-14 hours, contractions started in the morning, got hard to breathe through in the afternoon and unbearable at night. Pushed for maybe 30 mins after full dilation and baby was out in 2 pushes (which was not fun because I needed a lot of stitches later). I am a first time mom and from what I’ve been told this was a very quick labor But I don’t know how much of the speed I can attribute to this product because I have no benchmark. Tastes fine, I used to take a sip of water, spritz in the recommended amount of liquid and down it. It’s pretty expensive yes, but between this, the raspberry leaf tea, the dates and the pineapples I had a really quick labor.
