Essential oils

[Sherry]

Well after the pains that came and went on Monday and agony I am in walking and stuff, I have decided to see if anything can help me along a little. I have bought some clary sage and lavender oils to try in the bath tonight.

Now I know there are a lot of things about not using these but was browsing the net this morning I feel quite comfortable using them, as there are also alot of good reasons to use them. It says as long as your not in first/second tri, and dont over use then these are quite good for pain relief. They arent a stimulant more of a relaxant and has a drunken effect (after nearly 9 months of no drink this should be good ) and maybe I will get a good sleep tonight.

My back hurts like hell, and the pains either side of my bump kill when I am walking (sort of stitch like pain but so so sore ) and it took me half an hour to get Josh to school (10 mins normally) and his poor hand kept getting the squeezing of it's life so I had to let go.

Do you think I am right to try or not? I know baby will come when he is ready and not before so here is to a little less pain untill then hopefully

Sorry I went on again didnt I?

I've been using lavender oil throughout my pregnancy to help me sleep.

Couldn't have lived without it!

Oh i reaally feel for you i thought i was suffering but don't like you you must try anything at this stage the baby will be fine as long as you are happy
take care hope the little one comes soon for youx

Will try this for now, but dont really want to go with some of the other stuff like......

Pineapples - you have to eat at least 7 a day to help and I dont want the runs to happen in labour

Hot curry - Pooing again

Castor Oil - same as above

Anything that involves getting loose bowels is out of the question

Will give Sex a go unless the oils work and send me to sleep

Well big fat NOTHING, had a bath with the oils, mixed some with carrier oil had it massaged into my lower back and bump and not even a glimmer of hope .
Couldnt even make me sleep through the bladder kicking all night .
Something has to happen soon before I crack up. Am so tiredhad a couple of hours sleep after 4:30 this morning till Josh got up.
Anyone like to hand me a crochet needle (looks similar to what they use to break waters right? ) Getting desperate now feel like a zombie
