What exactly does Nature’s Birth Drops help with?

Nature’s Birth Drops alleviate anxiety and stress during labor, provide natural pain relief during labor and childbirth, improve efficiency of contractions and expedite birth, facilitate an easy and positive childbirth experience and reduce inflammation and bleeding after delivery.

What does Nature’s Birth Drops contain?

Nature’s Birth Drops contains the following 100% herbal ingredients:

Stachys officinalis (Wood betony) is used for overcoming nervousness and is wonderfully calming and soothing for women in labor. This herb also has pain-relieving properties and is often used for migraines.

Blue Cohosh is also known as Papoose Root or Squaw Root due to its extensive use by Native American women for childbirth. Blue Cohosh is known to reduce pain during labor, at the same time improving the efficiency of contractions to speed up the birth process. This herb also alleviates anxiety.

Verbena officinalis is more commonly called Vervain or Wild Hyssop and comes from the Mediterranean region. It is well-known for its ability to relax tension and stress and relieve mild depression. It is used for painful menstruation and labor pains and will reduce nervousness, fever and prevent excessive bleeding. Verbena officinalis is also excellent for stimulating lactation, encouraging successful breast-feeding.

Pulsatilla vulgaris (Pasque Flower) is widely used for relief of nervous tension. It is also highly effective in treating pain and exhaustion in women. Pasque Flower's analgesic properties are known to be particularly useful during childbirth. It is also recommended for improving ineffectual and weak contractions. Pasque Flower helps to improve mood and is also useful for preventing post-natal depression.

Raspberry leaves (Rubus idaeus) are known to be an excellent herbal supplement for pregnant women, especially those who are nearing the very end of their pregnancy. This ingredient improves the tone of the uterine ligaments and facilitates labor and delivery. Raspberry leaves will also prevent swelling and bleeding after the birth.

How will I know when I am really in labor?

There are a number of signs to indicate that you are in labor. Although you should be aware of these signs, remember that many women experience things differently and what may apply to you may not apply to others. This is perfectly normal. Also remember that 'false alarms' are common and many women mistake the normal activity of late pregnancy as an indication that they are going into labor. This is a time when your body is 'getting into gear' and there may be one or two 'practice runs' before the real thing! If you arrive at the hospital or birthing center certain that you are in labor only to be sent home- don't be embarrassed- it happens all the time!

What are some signs of labor?

Regular contractions that become more frequent, closer together and increase in intensity. While the normal contractions of late pregnancy (called 'Braxton Hicks' contractions) may often be mistaken for the onset of labor, you can be relatively certain that labor has begun if your contractions have been going for about an hour, are evenly spaced about 5 minutes apart and last for about a minute each.

A gush or constant trickle of fluid from the vagina indicating that your water has 'broken'.

Passing of the mucus 'plug' that keeps the uterus closed during pregnancy. This is sometimes called a 'show'.

A bloody or brownish mucus discharge accompanying the above symptoms.

Don't hesitate to call your midwife, doctor or birth assistant if you are not sure. They will be able to reassure you and want to know of any changes that occur -even if you are not yet in true labor.

How do I know that these herbs are safe for my baby?

Nature's Birth Drops contain herbs that have been safely used for centuries in traditional folk medicine to help women during childbirth. Despite the safety of the herbs during this time, it should be remembered that herbs are medicines and should therefore be used during childbirth only under supervision of your doctor, midwife, doula or other health professional.

What else can I do?

Prepare yourself mentally, physically and spiritually for the birth by reading books on childbirth, joining a support group for pregnant women, speaking to mothers of children or your own mother or mother-in-law. Taking good care of yourself in the form of a balanced diet, getting enough rest, relieving stress, meditating and talking with your partner about the future will be invaluable in preparing yourself for labor, birth and parenthood.

Organize a birth plan including the place you would like to deliver, who should be present and your preferences of medical interventions in different circumstances.

A supportive environment at the birth has been shown to be one of the most important factors in the speed of delivery and how much pain the mother feels. Think carefully about who you would like to have present at the birth for support and consider a trained doula or birthing assistant.
