Essential Oils for Labour?

Hi all,

Just wondering what essential oils you used (if any) in labour? Some websites have reccomendations for different combos depending if you need to speed up or slow down labour or relax or energise, but I'm thinking I will just bring one blend with me to hospital/use at home. I will probably use it in the bath (at home) and then inhale it on a hanky at hospital.

So far I'm thinking that clary sage, jasmine and lavender seem like the most popular and I think they would smell alright together.

TIA

Clary sage doesn't smell nice with anything :lol: Disguise it as much as possible!

I also read somewhere that citrus oils are good? So I had lime, as well as bergamot, because that's always a favourite.

I somehow wound up with two bottles of clary sage - let me know if you want some.

I also added clary sage to a massage oil blend.

I bought a pack through "Labour of Love" (online) for DS2 and it is beautiful smelling. Consists of:
massage oil(ingredients are: oils of apricot, macadamia, sweet almond and soyabean and essential oils of rose geranium, lavender and patchouli - pure vitamin E added as well)
Labour calming remedy (ingredients are: Vibrational infusion of Angelsword, crowea, dog rose of the wild forces, fringed violet, grey spider flower, sundew, waratah, springwater, brandy, sugitite,peridot and ruby elixir. Directions are to put 4 drops under your tongue every hour or 10 drops into a glass of water.
Post labour healing tincture: (ingredients are: pure rainwater, witch hazel, calendual oilm esstenial oils of lavender and tea tree, hypericum extract, calendula extract, peridot elixir.

for burning i had a lovely mandarin with lavendar and bergamot blend (gorgeous!)

and for the body i got a clary sage mix that is part of the "perfect potion" pregnancy range...
