Thank you so much, Mary!! I am all for traditional medicine, but I am also big on the natural approach to anything health related (safely, of course!). I have heard that the raspberry tea can help with menstrual pain....don't know if this is true or not.

Can I ask where you get yours and how much/often you give to your mommas in the last trimester? Also, same thing with the folic acid??

Thanks Mary! Anything that I can do to help Livi through this is greatly appreciated!!!
