What are AfterBirth Drops and how can they help me?
Once the challenges of labor and delivery are over and you are holding your dear new baby in your arms at last, it is time for the third and last stage of labor - the delivery of the placenta. This is the last hurdle you need to cross before you are home free! While you will probably be feeling excited and elated to be seeing your baby for the first time, exhaustion at this time is normal and understandable after all your hard work in the first two stages of labor.
To facilitate the contractions needed to expel the placenta and relax the mother after delivery of the baby, many midwives have traditionally used certain herbs known for their beneficial properties during this final stage of labor. BabyNature's AfterBirth Drops are formulated with four natural, herbal ingredients chosen for their ability to re-energize, speed up delivery of the placenta and begin the process of recovery after childbirth. AfterBirth Drops are also wonderful for promoting production of breast-milk and calming and enhancing mood.
How do I use AfterBirth Drops?
Use during the Third Stage of Labor (delivery 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.
Use under the supervision of a doctor, homeopath, naturopath, midwife or doula.
What are the ingredients in BabyNature’s Afterbirth Drops?
Afterbirth Drops contain the following proven, herbal ingredients to assist with the third stage of labor:
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. 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. Pasque Flower 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 at promoting breast-milk production.
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.
BabyNature's AfterBirth Drops, mixed in a little water or juice, will help you to complete this last stage of labor, using the traditional wisdom that herbalists and midwives have used over the ages to help women just like you!
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. Although actual mature breastmilk is not yet available, the baby will benefit from the colostrum (or 'first milk') that is produced in the first few days after birth. This contains important nutrients and also provides protection from disease and illness in the form of antibodies from the mother’s own immune system, thereby protecting your baby against illness and infection.
What else can help?
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, if necessary, 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!
How have Afterbirth Drops helped others?
'I am a firm believer in the use of natural products and used your remedies throughout my pregnancy. My labor went well and I managed to avoid all types of artificial, medical intervention. By the time I had delivered Kayla, though, I could not believe that I still had to push more to deliver the placenta! I was ready to collapse from the effort of the previous hours! I am so glad my midwife remembered about my Afterbirth drops and gave them to me to take. Within minutes I felt motivated, clear-headed and ready to give those last few pushes that were needed of me. Thank you - your products helped me every step of the way!' Valerie P, WV
'Thank you for all your wonderful, natural “helpers” for labor. These were recommended to me by the Natural Birthing Center I attended and I really feel that they made the process easier and more positive for me. I ordered your Complete Birth Pack and I particularly loved your Birth Drops and Afterbirth Drops. These remedies helped me so much when I was feeling desperate and helpless as if I could not go on. Just wanted to let you know that your remedies are making a difference to many pregnant women and new mums out there!' Susan, SC
