Polly Block, a midwife, writes in her book
Polly's Birth Book--Obstetrics for the Home *:
* "We have found the Polly-Jean Formula--an herbal
combination that gravidas begin taking five weeks prior to anticipated
date of delivery--to be a boon to the home birth movement. It
assists in the following ways:
- Much easier labor and delivery.
- Longer and easier labors for women who tend to have precipitous
births.
- Shorter and easier labors for women who tend to have long
labors.
- Bigger dilation before discomfort arises.
- Minimization of postpartum bleeding when taken in conjunction
with the "Good Program" (the
"Good Program" is spelled out in Polly's Birth Book).
- Shorter periods before lochia stops.

Other formulas on the market have helped many mothers, but over
the years midwives have found that these formulas did not assist
enough in preventing hemorrhage in women with borderline anemia,
the Rh-negative factor, and other conditions. We found that when
pennyroyal was included in the formula, bleeding continued to
be heavier than it should be. We also found that black cohosh
seemed to increase the normally stepped up production of estrogen,
adding to the hemorrhage problem. Jeannne Johnson and I eliminated
both
these herbs when we developed our formula.
Midwives who recommend this formula for use have frequently reported
only 1 teaspoon to 2 tablespoons of bleeding with the placenta
separation in normal deliveries. Even in problem deliveries,
only ½ to ¾ cup blood loss (considered normal)
was reported. If these assessments are correct, the results of
the Formula are phenomenal." (pgs. 155-156)
Reviews from some satisfied
customers:
"Polly's formula was a fantastic supplement for
my home birth. I was amazed at how I gave birth so easily in
less than three hours!" Marie, with baby #5
"Wow! This was the fastest labor of my 6 births! I usually
labor for at least 10+ hours, but this time I had him in under
4! I could really tell the frequent Braxton Hicks contractions
were helping to get things ready. I will definitely be using
your herb formula again if we have another baby." Leslie
"I had an awesome labor and birth- hardly any bleeding at
all, where, with my other births, I have lost too much blood.
Even my recovery was very quick and easy." Sarah
"Recently I was introduced to your herb formula by a client.
She told me she was using it, but I didn't really put all that
much stock into the claims (oh, I believe in the benefits of
herbs and such and even used RRL tea for some of my own pregnancies,
just some of the claims seemed a bit stretched). I have served
as midwife for this client at 2 previous births and know her
to labor long and hard with too much blood loss at the end. This
labor was so different, though! She labored very efficiently
and the baby was born in under 5 hours, start to finish. She
had minimal blood loss and was up and about very quickly. I am
just VERY impressed and can see that it really does live up to
the claims. I will be recommending it to my clients from now
on (can I get a referral fee for that - lol - just kidding!)."

"I recently gave birth to our fifth baby. I have a history
of long, slow labors. During past pregnancies, I've taken red
raspberry leaf tea and evening primrose oil, and once an herbal
formula similar to PJ's, all with an aim to preparing my uterus
and cervix for labor. The results were nonexistent to mild at
best. I'd either have no Braxton-Hicks contractions at all (that
I could feel), or mild ones that petered out a week or two before
birth. My non-induced labors were long and dragged-out, with
several days of prodromal labor before "the main event".
This time was different! I took the recommended final-month regimen
of PJ's and had 4.5 weeks of very strong Braxton-Hicks contractions.
It really felt like they were "doing something" for
a change. Labor was quick and efficient, and we had a wonderful,
easy birth. PJ's is an exceptional product, and if we are blessed
with another baby, I definitely plan to order it again. Thanks,
Charity, for making PJ's available to your customers!" -

blessed thistle |

raspberry leaf |

This product is 400 capsules,
which is a full 5+ week supply, depending
on the quantity doseage you choose to take. Similar products
are sold in
bottles of 100-150 capsules and do not tell you that one bottle
is not
enough for a full 5 week course, so you end up needing to order
more, possibly getting them too late. Your purchase of Polly
Jean 5-Week Antenatal Formula covers your entire prenatal need.
Polly further writes on page 156:*
"Six to nine capsules a day are recommended. It is recommended
that dosages begin the
FIRST week (five weeks before due date) with two capsules in
the morning and two nightly, before meals. Increase the SECOND
week (four weeks antenatally) to two capsules, three times a
day. Increase the THIRD and FOURTH weeks up to about three
or four capsules, three times a day, according to individual
tolerance levels. Maintain this dosage until delivery. The formula
can also be used a week to ten days postpartum advantageously."
I have been in email contact with Polly and she said I should
include the following information: "The Polly-Jean Fivne-Week
Antenatal Formula tends to create a balance in the stepped-up
hormones toward the end of pregnancy. Over the years women
have reported that they have found no better 'female corrective'
than the Polly-Jean formula, pregnant or not."
NOTICE- Please allow 2 weeks delivery time. Try not
wait until 34 weeks to order, if you can help it. 90% of the
time, we ship out within a couple days of you order, however,
occasionally our herb supplier goes 'back-order' on one or more
of the herbs in this combination and I am not able to get the
next batch mixed before running out. We do include an alternate
schedule to use if you start a little late, but its always better
to start on time.

More about Polly Block:
Polly Block is a widely known and highly respected midwife. Midwives
from all
over the United States frequently seek her counsel, because of
her broad experience
with special birthing techniques. She was invited by a scholar
from a national
foundation to assist in research on birthing customs in different
cultures. Home
obligations prevented her from accepting this honor.
Her special interest has been the effect
of herbs on pregnancy, labor, and delivery of birthing mothers.
She has also developed an extensive home nursing file, which
stresses diet, massage therapy, natural food supplements, and
advanced first aid techniques as the basis for preventive health
care and home preparedness. She has often been invited to share
her data with leading researchers and practioners in the field
of home birth.
Polly has been an active lecturer on the various techniques and
procedures of home delivery. She lectured at a seminar for nurses
and midwives at Idaho State University.
And of course Polly has observed medical
doctors and naturopathic physicians in the delivery of hundreds
of babies.
A native of Texas, Polly now makes her
home in American Fork, Utah. Polly’s efforts now focus on
writing.

I highly recommend Polly's Birth Book.
It is a wonderful resource for for preparing for homebirth (especially
unassisted childbirth), or for those interested in learning more
about how the birth process works. It is written as a study manual
for midwives, but, by using layman's terms, Polly made it very
easy for the average reader to understand. There are 533 pages
of text and 71 detailed illustrations.
