A bottle of Contract Ease bought during early pregnancy will still be potent after birth. Our tinctures have a shelf life of about 3 years when kept somewhere cool, dry, and dark. The date on the bottle is our potency best-by date, not an expiration date.

Our sweet vegetable glycerine base, made from palm kernel and/or coconut, is alcohol-free and sugar-free. This makes it easier to digest and more delicious to take! When done correctly, glycerine pulls out more water-soluble constituents than alcohol and provides a very stable shelf life. We don't add flavors or sweeteners to our extracts like many other brands. Unlike alcohol, it doesn't have ill effects on diabetics, alcoholics, and the liver, making it a great product for adults and children. It is calorie- and sugar-free, making it a good option for folks watching calories or who don't want to/ can't consume sugar.

Contract Ease contains chamomile, a daisy-family herb, which is the plant family to which ragweed belongs. If you have a ragweed allergy, please check with your provider before using it and start with a very small dose.

Contract Ease comes after Labor Prep and Start Up in our labor and delivery sequence, and it’s part of the Pregnancy Essentials Kit. Our pregnancy page lists our other pregnancy- and post-delivery-friendly options. We suggest talking to your healthcare provider before trying anything new and spacing products by at least 30 minutes.

Please check with your doctor or pharmacist first if you take any medication, especially sedatives, sleep aids, or anti-anxiety medication.

Contract Ease is for use right after birth, not during pregnancy. It is a short-term-use formula only.

Talk to your provider about spacing out the doses with breastfeeding sessions.

No, Contract Ease is a postpartum formula for moms.

Shonda Parker, a midwife and clinical herbalist, created Contract Ease.

Our suggested dosage is 1 teaspoon per 150 lbs of body weight every 2 to 4 hours. It’s for short-term use, up to one week postpartum. Please don’t use it daily for more than 1 week.

Contract Ease is formulated for use right after birth, when afterpains and uterine cramping occur as your body returns to its pre-pregnancy state. Your midwife or provider can help you decide when to start.

Contract Ease is the postpartum piece of our labor and delivery formulas. Labor Prep (the last 5 weeks) and Start Up (full term only) are for before the baby arrives; Contract Ease is for after, up to one week postpartum. Many mothers also use Original Herbal Minerals and keep our two breastfeeding blends- MegaMam and Mastitix- on hand.

Contract Ease - After Birth Pains and Uterine Cramps

I used this after giving birth to my fourth child in November and felt that it worked very well to decrease the pain.

Contract ease

No one tells you about after birth pains. Contract ease really helped ease the contractions and to be able to nurse.

Would highly recommend!

I just had my 3rd baby a week ago. My last baby I had after birth pain so every time I nursed for the first 4 weeks. This time I wanted to see if something would help.
I would say the first 48 hrs I noticed little difference. By day 3 things were getting better and by day 5 cramps were completely gone! That sure helps with adjusting to nursing! I was very impressed with this product. For reference sake: I used about 3 oz.

amazing!! better than tylenol or ibuprofen

I had TERRIBLE cramps after my 2nd baby - was taking tylenol & ibuprofen every few hours for almost a week, and it never seemed to help (plus I felt so guilty those drugs were likely going into the breastmilk, after I successfully had a drug free home birth). I took this every 4 hours after the birth of my 3rd, and it helped SO much. Could not recommend it enough.

I got the smallest size bottle but wish I had gotten a bit more to last me the first 4 days after birth. Loved that it had no alcohol. I mixed with apple juice and took it like a shot.

Worked great for me!

I took a dose of motrin after my birth 3 days ago. It did nothing! The Contract-Ease, however, was amazing. Not only did it soothe the afterpains, it also relaxed me and relieved the pain left after Cytotec administration. (The Cytotec was to stop a hemorrhage... you know how awful that is if you've ever needed it!!!) I think the valerian and scullcap and chamomile in this make it better for overall relaxation than a formula with just crampbark or other herbs just for cramping. I have recommended it to several pregnant friends already. I only wish I had bought more, as my 2 oz. bottle is nearly gone!

Great Product

Decided to try this after my 4th Baby was born because the after birth pain made me SOO sick with my 2nd and 3rd kids. I think it worked wonders!! I didn't experience anything nearly as severe as I had with the other 2 kids :) VERY pleased with this product and I've already recommend it to multiple Mama friends!! I ordered it again for my 5th Baby's birth (due to arrive any time now!).

Worked great! I definitely didn’t hurt as much as after first delivery and only felt mild cramping.

Contract Ease - After Birth Pains and Uterine Cramps

I can't say enough about Contract Ease! With each baby the after birth contractions get worse; with my fourth baby I took maximum doses of acetaminophen and ibuprofen alternately and it only took the edge off the pain, plus I knew those meds weren't the best for me or my baby. With my fifth baby I used Contract Ease and it was so effective - more so than OTC pain relievers I took last time, plus I didn't have to worry about taking something that wasn't good for us. Now I want to buy a bottle for every pregnant mom friend I know! :)

Contract Ease - After Birth Pains and Uterine Cramps

I could tell a difference in how I felt/depression when I missed doses of this! I believe it helped with pain, but I was taking other things for pain too so I have no definitive proof of that. Two thumbs up for emotional support though!

Contract Ease - After Birth Pains and Uterine Cramps

While I have no actually used this yet, I have experienced after birth pains and it is no fun at all! After my last birth, all my naturally minded friends had no tricks up their sleves I couldn't believe it. They basically said take Tylenol and get through it. We'll I'm excited to be armed and ready this time!

I used this after my 3rd natural, drug free birth. I think it helped to lessen the afterpains

Contract Ease - After Birth Pains and Uterine Cramps

After 8 natural births there are some things that you figure out. This product I found and began using 3 children ago and consider it to be an essential for a post-labor mom. I begin taking it very soon after I have delivered and continue to ingest every time I nurse for the first few hours. I have found the after pains to be lessened and not needing to take aspirin. The small bottle is the perfect size for 1 woman to use after delivery.

I used this product after the birth of my third child. It worked very well. The pain of contractions after birth was much less than with my other two. I would highly recommend!

This product is wonderful! It really helps with the afterbirth pains and helps you to enjoy the sweet blessing God has just given you. :)

Contract Ease - After Birth Pains and Uterine Cramps

I highly recommend this for any mamas that have experienced strong after contractions. This has helped mamas who have abandoned extra strength pain relievers due to lack of response to the meds.

Contract Ease - After Birth Pains and Uterine Cramps

I delivered baby number six last week. Pains after birth have been tough with the last several babies so I was thrilled when I found Contract Ease. I used this product, according to the directions, for about 3 days and experienced significant relief from the pain. I highly recommend this product to any woman after childbirth.

Contract Ease - After Birth Pains and Uterine Cramps

We have 5 children and am expecting our 6th. I had after pains after all of our children. I was VERY amazed that this worked so well. I did not know about it with our first two and wish that I had. I will have it on hand for the one that we are expecting any day now!

This absolutely works wonderfully. My afterpains were gone after taking only one dose.
