Clary Sage oil????

[stevensmummy]

Hi guys,

I'm nearly due to pop, in the nxt 5 weeks but suffering terribly from SPD and back probs. Been told I need to go to hosp to lie for a week and they should induce me at 37 weeks. However, my MW warned me that sometimes they arent keen if the baby is ok again, no matter how sore I am. She said if thats the case go all out for natural methods in week 37 (providing I get home again) and get it out.

I've heard alot about Clary Sage Oil. Its suposed to work very well, but I've also heard bad reports about it causing miscarriage early on. I'm assuming this is just early on, as in the reports i have read it does warn not b4 37 wks.

Anyone know anything about it?

Thanks, Sarah xx

Not heard anything but would assume that they suggest not using it early on because it can bring on labour i.e miscarriage - so wouldnt be a problem now..

Have posted in your diary actually some of the things I heard were good for bringing on labour x

i used clary sage oil, use it in your bath, a nice warm one, think its a few drops (i used 10, but plz look on the label). also raspberry leaf tea (and tablets) really help soften the cervix and it tastes really really nice too anyway!

Not heard about the sage oil but just wanted to add a labour inducing idea but you prob know it anyway - just a hot bath. When I was in labour and getting nowhere fast the midwives suggested a hot bath and I went from 1cm to 4cm in a matter of mins. Got stuck at 4cm for another 14 hours but that's a different story (!)

So maybe the oil and a bath would work well together?!
