Cheers LS!! I may leave the Headache Balm in the bag as a 'just in case'... I was reading about camphor & peppermint both having anti-spasmodic properties, which I can assume may slow contractions. Rubbing such things on my belly at the crutial moment sounds a little like putting a cork in it. But I will keep it on hand in case I have any more BH ctx. Seeing as I lost my plug (or part there of) on Friday night, DH & I are keen for the baby to stay put (until we're in Perth close to our hospital!).

The rose oil is in the birth massage blend. it smells amazing (I get a sense of confidence, calm & grounding when I smell it). But now that you've explained the pure rose oil - no wonder it's twice the price of all my other oils from Tinderbox!

Oh - and my packages arrived from the FBGS! Thank you so much, it's all wonderful. And thanks for the bonus nappy liners & dad wipes (which DH thinks is a great doodle-cover for change time!)
