I was reading out on the Midwife Archives and some other boards about various herbal supplements to take during the last 4-5 weeks of pregnancy to tone up the uterus and ripen the cervix, and one in particular was mentioned again and again.
It's called 5-W, and is a mixture of Black Cohosh, Squaw Vine herb, Dong Quai, Red Raspberry Leaf and Butcher's Broom. They are in dried herbal form, not tincture, so it isn't a very concentrated dosage.
I have read some rave reviews of it on another L&D board, and was wondering if anyone here has had any success with it.
TIA
