Clary sage?

[BradfordMum]

Has anyone ever used this to try induce labour?
My dd is 40 weeks and on Saturday was 1cm.
She has painful back ache and cramps, but they disappear after a couple of hours.
This has been since Saturday.
Someone has suggested clary sage.

Has anyone tried it and what do you do with it?!

Thanks x

I used it last time to try and induce contractions after my waters broke, it does seem to get contractions going, I had a mix of essential oils with clary sage in (cause I don't really like the smell !) and rubbed it on my bump

it doesn't induce labour though ! just gets the contractions really going as you're supposed to really use it when labour in in full swing, like in the birth pool or as a massage oil

good luck hope things start moving soon !!

I sniffed it a lot when I was almost 2 weeks overdue. Tried a lot of other things as well, but I went into labour naturally the evening of 40 + 13 so escaped induction. Crazy things I tried were:
Sweep
Pineapple
Curry
Castor oil
Clary sage
Star jumps
Nipple stimulation
Something helped or else it was just my time

I tried this but to be honest it didn't do anything other than make me feel a bit odd and intensify my braxton hicks for a couple of hours. On the other hand the friend who recommended it to me swears it sent her into labour.

No idea! I snorted it like mad and gave birth at 40+2. Might have worked. Can't stand the smell of it now!
