Gentle Birth Formula by Mountain Meadow Herbs, 4oz.

I haven't given birth yet but I think it's helped get my cervix ready!

with all the positive reviews i was looking forward to a more peaceful labor but God had other plans. I do believe it shortened my labor a lot (water broke, labor and delivered within 2 hours) but it was extremely, extremely intense. i would still use it again tho for my 4th and maybe have better luck then.

I believe this to be helping in softening the cervix. I am doing other things for that as well, and once I deliver I'll likely have a greater understanding if it helped or not. But so far I think it's great

Gentle Birth gives you a gentle birth indeed! Under the supervision of my midwife, I dosed myself with castor oil to induce labor at 40+2. Hours later, i assumed that labor wasn't happening and began the Miles Circuit routine to make sure baby was in optimal position for labor. I was on part 2 of the Miles Circuit when I began to feel very gentle contractions. They reminded me of a flower blooming. No joke! It was very relaxing. My midwife checked me about an hour after these contractions began and confirmed that I was in labor. She said I'd probably be calling her in 3 or 4 hours. Well. Gentle Birth and my body had another plan. I labored very peacefully for a total of 2.5 hours (my husband didn't seem to understand that I was actually in labor since I wasn't doing my usually groaning and moaning.) Then my body kicked into high gear and we went from me being able to walk and talk in between contractions right to transition. We called the midwife long before she expected to be needed, but she didn't even make it in time to deliver the baby. I barely made it into my birth pool before my baby was born. I thought I knew birth, as this was my 4th, but Gentle Birth really changes the experience. I feel that it made the early and middle stages of labor very gentle and mild, and the final stage was very quick and effective. As soon as the baby was born, I said, "I would do that again! I would have ten kids if every birth was that amazing!" I have never said that for any of my other births, that is FOR SURE! I will never labor again without being on Gentle Birth for the final weeks of pregnancy. It makes such a difference!

I was able to use this for the last month of my fourth pregnancy, and it was effective; since I hadn’t used these herbs before, I didn’t have as much as the recommended dosage suggested, but I believe it would have worked even better if I had done so. My labor and delivery was very straightforward (about 3 hours, no tearing), but most helpfully, I was able to observe a gentle and consistent progression of cervical ripening and hormonal shifts in the three days prior to having my water break. For someone without allergies or other known complications that might interact with these herbs, I would definitely recommend this.

Where has this been all my life!?!? Seriously. I always have really fast and intense (i.e. extremely unenjoyable) L&D. This was amazing. I started taking it a few weeks before my EDD as per the instructions. Took it faithfully. My labor was longer and less intense than any of my others. In fact it wasn’t even uncomfortable until about an hour before time to push. Most of the time, I couldn’t even tell if I was having a contraction. If I hadn’t had a bloody show, I would have never guessed I was in labor. When I got to the birth center I was 90% and 8cm, and didn’t even believe I was in labor. That said, it did get quite uncomfortable near the end, but nothing I couldn’t handle in my 7th rodeo. I will always make sure I have this and AfterEase for L&D and post-partum from now on.

I have used this product now with my last three pregnancies and find it to be super helpful with my births, comparing to my first two without. Very thankful to be able to get it from In His Hands!

This did as it said it would

I tried this tincture for the first time few weeks before giving birth to my second child. I followed the protocol recommended. I ended running out of it because my child was born "overdue" at 42 weeks. I believe it really helped my body getting prepared for this labor and delivery. My early labor was very smooth and active labor very quick (though still intense). I got to deliver our baby safely at home in a gentle and relatively smooth labor! Try it for yourself:)
