The after birth process - bouncing back Once the challenges of labor and childbirth 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 feel excited to see your baby for the first time, there is still work to be done to complete the process of childbirth. The natural way The body naturally facilitates contractions after birth. These contractions (sort of like aftershocks from an earthquake) are needed to expel the placenta and relax the mother after delivery of the baby .These contractions are triggered by a hormone called oxytocin. A new mother's body continues to release oxytocin once the baby is born. It does this because the uterus still needs to contract to detach and deliver the placenta and membranes which have contained and sustained your baby throughout the pregnancy. Your first physical contact with your baby will also produce an extra rush of oxytocin hormone. This 'surge' makes the uterus contract to facilitate the separation of the placenta, so it can deliver spontaneously. As the placenta totally separates it folds down over itself, with the increased weight helping to shear off the membranes (or sac, that the baby was encased in) from the rest of the uterus and for the whole afterbirth to pass down through the cervix, to be expelled. It can take up to an hour or more to deliver the placenta - many new moms spend this time trying to relax and recover, or enjoying their new baby! Natural herbal ingredients have been studied for their ability to support the female system during labor. ((McFarlin BL, Gibson MH, O'Rear J, Harman P.

Repeat after 1/2 hour if necessary. Use under the supervision of a doctor, homeopath, naturopath, or midwife. How long until I see results?
