Ali, does that make your kid a gemini like me? Lucky lil tacker.........

FWIW, I never took my amber bracelet off from the day I got it (1 week before baby) and i dont know if it really worked or not, but I pushed for 2 hrs with a posterior baby whose head was tilted (in the end I had an syntocin and an epi with a vacum extraction) I also had a 3rd deg tear, and only had regular panadol for relief. Everyone kept telling me how brave I was/how badly I had been thru the wringer, but TBH, the pain wasnt that bad.
I dont have anything to compare against, but I have a strange sort of faith in my bracelet.....
Hope yours helps you, sounds like you need it hell more than I ever did...
