So, I might have just bought some clary sage essential oil.... Not sure if I will actually use it…

I've got a sweep booked for tomorrow and was thinking I could use it to encourage any contractions I might get 🙈 still in two minds

Good luck worth a try xx

Aromatherapy lady said I can use it on an oil burner for relaxation or apply 1-2 drops on inside of ankle which is meant to be safer than adding it to my bath or directly to abdomen @cc7

Are we due on the same day? @cc7

Really that sounds fab, Your a few days ahead of me I'm due 12th but being induced 9th and your having a boy like me 💙xx

Oh yeah I remember now, I'm due the 8th and induction booked for the 12th so hoping the sweep works so I won't need it @cc7

That's what I was hoping for but nope gonna try another one Monday fingers crossed. Hopefully you'll have more luck than I did lol xx

Are you trying all the other mythical natural induction methods? So far I've been on evening primrose & raspberry leaf tea for my cervix and a bit of nipple stimulation to remind my body what it's supposed to be doing lol OH has agreed to try 'doing the deed' when I'm ready 🙈

@cc7,

How's that all going? Is the nipple stimulation what got your milk out early? I tried it n the contractions came and went just think my body isn't ready 😞I just finished my supply of RLT tbh I'm not going to bother with anything else I'm just going to try and enjoy the rest of my last pregnancy seeing as there are only a few days left xxx

I only do around 5 minutes each breast just to get a few brackton hicks but when I'm ready I will do it properly (15mins every hour for three hours) it can be intense when done properly which is why I've been waiting until closer to my due date

as for evening primrose I won't know until tomorrow when mw tries to do sweep if my cervix is soft. I don't blame you for wanting to just enjoy the end, it's all time consuming stuff @cc7
