Christopher's Original Formulas Birth-Prep Capsules 100 ct - Herbal Blend for Expectant Mothers - Supports Natural Preparation for Childbirth

I started using this at 36 weeks pregnant while being monitored by my midwife. I took one pill everyday the first week and increased by one pill each week until delivery. This in combination with other exercises and supplements helped my delivery go by SO FAST! & I mean FAST. Baby was almost born in the car kind of fast!

It’s always hard to say if this is what made the difference because there are so many things that contribute, but I took this and my labor was less than 5 hours. I will be purchasing again for future pregnancies.

I normally labor 24 plus hours. This cut it down to 12. Delivery was quicker and easier.

I don’t know what worked, because I was doing several things. But had a smooth relatively quick birth. Didn’t feel bad or had any side effects

Used this product for my 4th labor. All my labors have been home births including this one. I always go past 40 weeks and always have 16 to 38 hour labors. I used this for my last labor. I started having irregular contractions everyday starting at 40 weeks for 5 days last most of day and night. Midwife said it was prodromal labor. Never had this with other labors. Read a prior review that this product can cause that, they were right. Finally went into labor at 40w 5d. Started labor at 7pm with regular contractions not painful. Started to get a bit painful at midnight. Was 7cm dilated at 2 am with tolerable contractions. Gave birth at 6 am. The last 2 hours of labor were excruciating contractions. But most of the labor was great tolerable. I am usually in excruciating labor for way way longer with my prior labors. I will definitely use this again if I decide to have any more kids.

I am going to update this as I progress. I am 39 weeks and 2 days with my 5th baby. I've been taking Birth Prep since week 34, as my midwife suggested. I have had challenging and long labors with my last two babies. I am hoping for an easier one with baby 5.I will say these pills are making me feel awful. I hope they work during labor and this baby comes out easy. I am on my second bottle and after taking the pills an hour later I have intense menstral like cramping and strong nausea that lasts for several hours. It's miserable. I've never experienced this before and it happens like clock work after I take my pills. I'm taking two in the morning and two at night. This has not happened until the last two weeks. I hope it's shaving time off. I will update after I give birth to let you know how my labor went!!Ok *UPDATE*These pills are amazing and I'm so glad I took them even though they made me feel awful for weeks!!! It helps you SO MUCH in labor. I will say they don't make you pop early but they help your cervix be ready and more importantly they help TONE YOUR UTERUS! I just gave birth at 42 weeks. This is my 5th baby, homebirth/natural birth. This is the first baby I took these with after having 63, 24 hour long miserable labors. With this one I had to drink Caster oil which I never have done before, I've never done any interventions before but I got diagnosed with late on set polyhydramminos. At 42 weeks my fluid levels were dangerously high and we needed to get he baby out quickly. I did not want to be risked out of care and Homebirth. These pills made my contractions totally bearable until the end. It made my cervix soft and ready and my uterus was so strong and toned I was able to work with my contractions in a way I never have been able to before! It was incredible how ready my body was for birth and I truly believe that's what these pills do, and in turn when your labor starts everything is ready to go, primed and toned! The weeks of cramping I personally experienced was doing a good work at exercising my body for labor. It was worth that discomfort!!! I was at a high risk for post partum hemorrhage because of my condition and I'm glad I'd been taking these pills to strengthen my uterus and birthing everything! After having 4 difficult labors with all my other children, this one was a dream. It was so different am manageable!!! I am so thankful I took these and if I ever have any more kids I will take these every time!!!

I bought my first bottle off Amazon after reading the reviews in 2020 before the birth of my first son in 2021. I thought placebo effects would be worth the price since it was my first birth, and it was unmedicated at a birth center. Here were my results all both unmediated healthy babies and deliveries! I’ll definitely be using it again with future pregnancies because I don’t hear of this experience often with other mothers.Firstborn - 4 hours labor - 15 minutes pushing - no tearing - amazing experienceSecond born - 3 hours labor - 2 pushes - no tearing - amazing experience
