Sarah - that was from my perfect potions book, which seems pretty good.
Like you, I wont risk the rose or peppermint for the whole pgcy. There are also a couple for high blood pressure that are no good, but thats not going to be an issue for us I hope! Although my sister had a problem with hypertension so she had to be induced.

If you are really worried why not see a naturopath?? They will probably be able to make you up a calming blend or something to use in the bath or directly on the skin. I dont think naturopaths are that expensive?

Another trick - cause I am having trouble with baths at the moment is to warm up the shower, then put a couple of drops of lavender into the base. It vaporises in the shower and smells lovely while you are showering - although doesn't last that long. I also put a couple of drops of lavender on my pillow an hour or so before I go to bed.
