great topic - this is my 2nd bub and would love it to come before 40 weeks as I am due on the first day of school for my son !!

I tried Rasberry Leaf tea consistantly for my first. Hated the taste, but did it. I had a posterior birth too, like Sararose, and although it was a vaginal birth with no intervention, it was also 27 hours of PURE PAIN with very strong contractions but NOT dilating. actually I had an epidural at 20 hours as I was only 1 cm dilated.........so does it work??????? well, I won't be bothering to take it again!!

Question: what will Clary sage help to do??

The best thing that i did for my labour was being very fit - I ran 5-6 days a week up until the day he was born - and then had a marathon labour........ahhh.......

"they'" say the 2nd bub's labour will not be as long......lets hope that it may be right for me.... not counting on it however!
