the gentle birth method book ...any readers/followers

[misty49]

i have read the above book, and a lot of what she says is very good. I have bought her tea, and i am very confused about drinking herbal tea. i am 30weeks.. herbs included squaw vine leaf,nettle leaf,cramp cut bark and raspberry leaf. any advice anyone??

hello.
I'm still early days - only just at start fo 2nd trimester. I bought this and like all the ideas but not sure I'll be able to follow all the therapies.
Not sure you should be drinking raspberry leaf at 30 weeks though. Surely that's much more at the very end of pg?

i trie to foolow this as much as possible - i dont think you are meant to take RF tea until the 36th week?? i had a great labour - 2 .5 days worth but managed it all with no pain relief. i think the key is to remain relaxed. oh - and aspot of perineal massage does no harm either!!

I got one of the CD's from her website. I am finding it really helpful but I am sure at one point I can hear an icecream van in the background! Perhaps that's just my cravings kicking in though!
