Natural Birth

Anyone taking 5W or gentle birth?

My doula mentioned them, but I'm wondering where you can buy them?  She also mentioned borage oil capsules which seem to be more common.

    5W...hmmm that sounds a lot like L6W which my MW's suggested... If they are similar, my MW sells it at their practice...otherwise IDK sorry

  • I purchased 5W from my birthing center.  When I asked about it at a local health food store, they had no idea what I was talking about.

  • I took Gentle Birth Formula from Mountain Meadow Herbs (I think?) with my 2nd pregnancy.  Both of mine were natural births, and the 2nd was definitely faster, but it's hard to say if the Gentle Birth stuff helped or it was just a typical faster 2nd birth, you know?  I certainly didn't have any adverse effects from it and I would use it again.
