Introducing The Cincinnati Birth Center Online Shop
/
Amid the construction of the birth center, growing our team, and supporting dozens of Cincinnati families throughout their birth journey, we’ve been hard at work behind the scenes on a special project. It’s always been our mission to create a safe space for women and their families to grow, so we felt it was due time that we create products that support that mission. We’re thrilled to officially introduce the Cincinnati Birth Center’s very own shop!
Browse our prenatal and postpartum products online, ranging from teas to tinctures and vitamin supplements, or visit our birth center in person. Our shop’s products are derivative of natural health remedies and are made to support women in every stage of their birthing journey. Inside the Cincinnati Birth Center shop, you’ll find:
Teas

• Nettles build a healthy blood volume and support the liver
• Alfalfa is rich in vitamin K and trace minerals
• Oatstraw is rich in calcium and magnesium, supporting the nervous system to help with sleep

Postpartum Goat's Rue
Goat’s Rue is a traditional galactagogue that helps to soothe the milk ducts. It is especially helpful for women who have been unable to fully breastfeed due to insufficient milk supply stemming from insufficient glandular tissue (IGT). This may include women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), type 2 diabetes, and obesity.
Lemon Balm
Lemon balm is an antiviral herb that is safe for use during pregnancy. It helps to relieve anxiety and can reduce the chance of herpes outbreaks.
Postpartum Motherwort
Motherwort (or leonurus cardiaca in Latin) is a traditional postpartum tonic herb to help with feelings of postpartum depression and overwhelm. The effects of the herb are akin to receiving a big hug.

Supplements
Integrative Therapeutics Liquid Calcium Magnesium
These supplements are excellent for prevention of leg cramps and relief of constipation during pregnancy. They also help to improve sleep and can reduce nausea in early pregnancy..
Gaia Herbs Liquid Iron
Maintaining healthy iron levels is essential to feeling energetic, vibrant, and healthy during pregnancy. Gaia Herbs PlantForce Liquid Iron helps support healthy iron and energy levels and is appropriate for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
This great-tasting vegetarian iron supplement is gentle on the stomach, easy-to-digest, and non-constipating. It’s made with nourishing foods and botanicals including Sea Buckthorn, beetroot, dandelion, and nettle leaf. It’s lightly sweetened with organic honey and fruits, including elderberry and acerola.
Vitamin D3/K2 Drops
Vitamin D3 is important to help prevent gestational diabetes, high blood pressure during pregnancy, and reduce pain during labor. It is also important to take during the winter months, as Cincinnati does not get enough sunshine during the winter to support adequate levels of Vitamin D.
Vitamin D3/K2 can be taken by breastfeeding mothers to support healthy vitamin D levels in breastmilk, which can directly supplement the infant rather than using infant vitamin D drops. We encourage all of our patients to take vitamin D3 throughout the year, but especially during the winter months.
Each drop has approximately 2,000 IU of D3/K2. We recommend a dosage of 3 drops per day.
CoQ10 by Jarrow Formulas
Our #1 recommendation for women suffering from chronic headaches or migraines is CoQ10 - an important antioxidant found in high concentration in the human heart and liver. It’s part of the cell’s electron transport system and is needed for ATP (energy) production within the cells.
Jarrow Formulas Co-Q10 is derived from fermentation and consists only of the natural trans configuration, the same as is synthesized in the human body.
Papaya Enzymes
Digestive enzymes, such as those naturally found in papaya, papain, and protease, are essential to the body’s absorption of food nutrients. These are a great natural treatment for relieving heartburn in pregnancy. This product is made from real papaya and comes in the form of delicious, chewable wafers. It is certified vegan, gluten free, and kosher.
Our team is thrilled to celebrate the official launch of our new shop and look forward to hearing from clients and their families on how each of these products impact their birth experience.
