Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I believe there is an herb called blue cohash that starts contractions and a black cohash that stops them. I am not exactly sure how all this works but you could check the health food store. herbal remedies [herbal remedies ] On Behalf Of Mary Ostrowski Wednesday, October 07, 2009 2:37 PM herbal remedies Re: {Herbal Remedies} Question:early contractions Wani, Don't know the answer to this .

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 False Unicorn calms the uterus but I have only used it to calm the uterus in the 1st trimester. Also black cohosh will work too. I can not offer insight about how much to use at this stage of the game (3rd trimester). You need to find a midwife herbalist. I would google home birth midwives in your area, they are usually experts at what herbs to use for each pregnancy complication.Anella-"Mary Ostrowski" <mary"Herbal Remedies" <herbal remedies >Wednesday, October 7, 2009 2:37:29 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada EasternRe: {Herbal Remedies} Question:early contractions Wani, Don't know the answer to this .

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I'm a midwife and I can tell you that the herbal preparations will not work at this stage (3rd trimester ctx for over 6 hrs).These may be braxton hicks contractions or they may be progressive labour. At 31 weeks gestation the baby will need some medical support because the lungs are still likely to be not fully enough developed to sustain the babe. I can tell you that in field practice (remote locals) we have used alcohol (grain - aka booze) high proof rum and lots of it as a last ditch effort to slow down an early birth.But this was given IV. IV Magnesium is also used. But there are too many unknowns here. If your friend has access to medical support she had best call it in. Or a midwife/doula wise woman etc. Otherwise the baby and possibly mom are at risk. Let us know the outcome, blessings sent your way Dar LongSerenity Suriswww.serenitysuris.com On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 3:22 PM, jarusso7 <jarusso7 wrote: False Unicorn calms the uterus but I have only used it to calm the uterus in the 1st trimester.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 One of the most common reasons for contractions like that is just dehydration. Has she tried to drink a lot of water? Susan Weeds Wise Woman's guide for the childbearing year has tons of specific recipes for that kind of thing.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 For Braxton-Hicks, this is normal and a cup of A to B Calm will settle it down. For real labor contractions: Mama Calm by Peter Gilliams. Two cups a day and complete bed rest. When a pregnant woman goes into labor they give her magnesium to stop the contractions. They may also give her steroids. A recent study shows that a woman given two doses of steriods can cause brain damage in a fetus. Try to avoid steroids or take only one dose, not two, if at all possible. Definitely stay in close contact by phone with your Dr. as this is a very serious situation. Go to the emergency room if there are any signs of bleeding. The mother should eat well, lots of protein, get plenty of fluids, take a good prenatal (like rainbow lite, cal/mag & omegas), avoid all stress, get a lot of rest for a solid base of health. The most important thing is good food and good rest (nap every afternoon) to be strong for labor. Babies usually come at night or early morning for some reason.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 This formula is good but I prefer my Lemon Egg Recipe as in the Files.
