I used to offer women the 5W capsules if they didnt want the liquid tincture (an acquired taste for some). The tincture formula can vary from woman to woman depending on any significant Hx and also her stress levels and general pregnancy health, but the basis is due to its uterine actions and overall pregnancy tonics.

This sounds a lot like the Natures sunshine product called 5W thats no longer available here in Australia. Ive used it for the last year for heavy menstrual bleeding and it works a treat! Helps with cramps, soothes the belly, lightens the bleed, no clots probably too much information, but Ive seen great things postnatally with it too, wondering if thats what you base your tincture on?

Pip,
Have you considered a partus-prep herbal tincture formula as well. Usually start at 34/40 at low dose and gradually increase over the weeks until labour. I give it to all keen mums-to-be. Typically I make it a mix of of squaw vine, false unicorn root, raspberry leaves, chaste tree etc etc. The first bottle (from 34-38 weeks) is slightly different from 2nd bottle (38-40+). I put a few extra herbs in the 2nd bottle that are better to use closer to term.
Combination of actions include uterine tonics, uterine astringents, hormonal support and working towards efficent cxns with minimal pp loss.
Good levels of Vit C, Iron, and Zinc also indicated to reduce pph risk too...
Cheers,
Kristin (Naturopath/Herbalist)
