What exactly do AfterBirth Drops help
with?

AfterBirth Drops are a 100% natural, safe and effective herbal remedy for after labor and childbirth that assists in the expulsion of the placenta, facilitates the shrinking of the uterus back to its normal size, calms and relaxes the mother during the third stage of labor, and promotes natural and trouble-free breastfeeding.  AfterBirth Drops are also wonderful for promoting production of breast-milk and calming and enhancing mood.

What does AfterBirth Drops contain?

AfterBirth Drops contain the following 100% herbal ingredients:

Cimicifuga racemosa is also known as Black Cohosh and is widely used for relieving the pain of uterine contractions and calming emotional stress. Black Cohosh is also excellent for speeding up the third stage of labor and preventing postpartum bleeding.

Viburnum prunifolium (Cramp Bark) relaxes tension and stress. This herb also relieves pain, specifically in the pelvic area and originating from the uterus.

Pulsatilla vulgaris (Pasque Flower) is widely used for relief of nervous tension – its analgesic properties are known to be particularly useful during childbirth and it is highly effective in treating pain and exhaustion in women. Pasque Flower also improves mood and is useful for preventing post-natal depression.

Fennel seeds are used primarily for settling the digestive system but are also very effective in promoting breast-milk production.

What is the proper dosage?

AfterBirth Drops are used during the Third Stage of Labor (expulsion of the placenta).

Add approximately 1/4 cup just boiled water to 5-10 drops of tincture and allow it to cool (This can be prepared up to 24 hours beforehand if you like). Drink as is or dilute further in water or juice. Repeat after 1/2 hour if necessary.

In what form do AfterBirth Drops come?

AfterBirth Drops come in convenient tincture drop format.

What is the shelf life?

You will find a white sticker under the bottle with the expiry date on it. It is best stored in a cool dark place out of direct sunlight.

Do AfterBirth Drops have any side
effects?

No, AfterBirth Drops do not have any side effects as it is 100% natural and herbal.

What is the third stage of labor?

The third stage of labor takes place soon after you have delivered your new baby and involves the delivery of the placenta and membranes which have been nourishing and protecting your unborn child for the last 9 months.

The third stage is the shortest stage of labor and generally lasts only 15-20 minutes. Contractions will be weaker and labor pains not as severe as the previous stages. Exhaustion is the most common problem! The excitement of holding the new baby often eases women through the delivery of the placenta, although many find that they are tired out by the time the baby has been born and find it difficult to summon up the energy to deliver the placenta.

Can I begin breastfeeding before the
third stage is over?

Breastfeeding should be started as soon after delivery of your baby as is possible.

The third stage of labor is an excellent time to put your new little one to the breast. This will not only encourage bonding between the two of you but will also speed up delivery of the placenta and increase the tone of the uterus, preventing bleeding.

What else can I do?

The time immediately following your baby's birth, even before the placenta is delivered, is a crucial period for bonding. Of course, you will want to see and cuddle your new little one as much as possible anyway. Most routine newborn procedures can be done without taking your baby away, so don't allow him/her to be separated from you at first, unless it is medically necessary. Procedures such as weighing and eye drops can be delayed for a while.

The most important thing at this stage is for you and your partner to relax and bond with the newest little addition to your family!
