The oil I used was made up by my naturopath, but was essentially apricot kernel and avocado oil. I also really listened to my midwife when she told me to pant as I was crowning...I am actually glad we didn't get the birth pool set up in time, because my midwife was able to help me a lot more than if I was in water. That being said, I have heard water makes the whole area more stretchy...so...anyway. I am secretly in love with my midwife, so I am glad she helped me the way she did!

GL! And how exciting to be so pregnant! Now long now!!!
