Has anyone ordered Red Raspberry Leaf capsules and EPO online without any issues through their S&S account? I'm a bit concerned that it may get stopped at customs being capsules although herbal.

I've seen quite a few EPO capsules here but all the softgels are made of Gelatin. I don't understand why their are no vegetarian alternatives on the shelves.

On another note, I bought 2 packs of Spring Valley EPO 1,000mg (75 softgels) while in the US for $7 per pack. Got home and discovered that they are also made of Gelatin :( . UNfortunately I cannot take these. If anyone wants to buy these from me please let me know.

That's great. We love iHerb. Haven't been disappointed. Are you a VBAC mama? How are you feeling about the birth? If you want to message me on FB I'd be happy to send along some ideas on how I worked through my fears when I was preparing for mine. :)

Thanks for the info SweetLily. Will be placing my order by the weekend. I am drinking the tea at the moment but I cannot see myself having 4 cups a day from week 36. Figured it would be easier to just have the tablets on those days that I don't wish to drink the tea. Very interesting group on FB. Didn't really think of myself as a natural living parent but when I read about the groups' philosophy I can definitely relate. Everyone around me thinks I am crazy with all my ideas. They all say that I read too much lol. Lovely birth story btw under the notes section. I was in tears. I wish I could have a HWBAC but I am just so afraid that what if I am one of the 0.5% unfortunate people that could suffer uterine rupture.

Also, I've noticed a few of your posts, Icedqueen and wanted to let you know about a group of mamas (and some dads) who are a part of the UAE Natural Family Living group here in the UAE. There is a group on Facebook if you're interested. It's quite active and from your posts (sorry to assume, if I'm wrong please ignore this :)) it seems like they might be able to answer some of your questions also. Just tired to put up the link and can't but if you search UAE Natural Family Living it should come up. :)

We have. We order all that kind of stuff through iHerb.com. We don't use a S&S account, they just ship right to your door with DHL. Usually spend about $20 on shipping and have ordered loads of supplements, homeopathic meds and such through there. Never had an issue. :)
