QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q:
Subject: Pregnancy Tonic Tea?
So, what's the scoop with this product? What does it do to make for an easy delivery? How safe is it? My partner and I are expecting twin girls soon (she is today beginning week 37...and, according to her doctor, we are "good to go for a vaginal delivery"). She and the girls are in very good health. We are interested in this product and would like any information you can offer.
In advance, thanks. John
