clary sage

[patsdeadfrank]

hi there, started using this tonight with massage oil on my bump for the first time was all lovely etc made me feel a bit mellow and funny however and then i threw up for no reason thought it was odd. so i looked it up and says not to use sage aromatherapy if you are epileptic so i am now paranoid i am going to start having fits which i havent for over a year. does any body know any thing more about aromatherapy can put my mind at rest?

How pregnant are you? Could be you are going in to labour and that's why you threw up. Clary sage is for the very end stages. I didn't really know what to do with mine so I chucked some in the bath. I'm not sure that was indicated really. I did go in to labour the next day but that was at 41 weeks!

38+4 i have had some contractions which stopped hence the new tact.

Unless your waters have broken I wouldn't try and urge things along too much then. Maybe best to let your body do things in it's own time. I know how the end of pregnancy drags - three dds and overdue every time here!
Maybe try some sex if you can bear it Less smelly than the sage oil!

hahaha sex is fine and my usual go to and we will be giving that a go if i feel a bit better later. this is my 4th and having heard that clary sage was a nice and possible natural way to give things a gentle nudge i figured give it a go. as dp works in a school and hasnt been there long enough to get paternity leave so as i have been getting on off contractions it would be great to have the baby now so he could be here over half term. i know it cant be forced, a little help was my plan though.

Ah I see!

Ok sex, bit of a walk out tomorrow and then more sex.
