AfterBirth Drops works almost immediately to support the body in its task of delivering the placenta helping you to relax and enjoy the bonding experience with your new baby.

No, AfterBirth Drops do not have any side effects, as it is 100% natural and herbal.

AfterBirth Drops are formulated specifically for the last stage of labor (the delivery of the placenta) and one bottle is more than sufficient for one labor. The formula has a long shelf life when stored correctly, and the remainder may be used for subsequent births during approximately a 5 year period.

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.

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.

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 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!
