Clary sage oil to induce labour

[BethK]

Is anyone going to use this? If so how and when?

Also when do people start eviction proceedings? Is it only once you've gone overdue?

Sorry hun, im not too sure xxxxxxx

I'll defiinitely be trying this.

I was going to wait until I'm about 39 weeks then start putting on at night, just a little to see if it does anything.

I've heard you can only use it diluted with another oil though, i.e. lavander oil so if it doesn't work at least I'll smell good!!

I used it a couple of time (a few drops in the bath with lavender oil) from 38 and a half weeks, last time and Josh was 2 days early (not sure that was related thou).

Lent my oils out to a friend, and trying to get them back in case I want to try it again this time.

I may use a couple of drops in the bath once I go into labour to speed up the opening of my cervix, but only if my waters haven't already broken x

I started using it at 38 weeks. I put a few drops into a bath and i also mix it with baby oil and rub it on my bump twice a day. And i also put a few drops onto a hanky and sniff if now and again. I really like the smell, but it makes me sleepy.

Thanks everyone, i may start using it with a carrier oil to massage onto bump at 38 weeks then, does anyone know how many drops i put in the carrier oil bottle?

I would use it in the bath but i can't get out once i'm in so have been having showers instead

I used it from 38 weeks mixed in with olive oil rubbed on my tummy and back- i used it undiluted and loads of it ( I was fed up!) at 40 weeks and the smell was soo strong but went into labour the next day- I will be using it again if I decide to have another baby! xx

It smells strong! You can also use it for relief during labour, altho that doesn't work for everyone.... you can put some on a sponge and use it like gas and air

It works! At 39 weeks, I mixed clary sage oil with sweet almond carrier oil and rubbed it on my bump. At 12am that night my waters broke and I had her at 39+1. Prior to that i had no niggles or anything!

How much clary sage are you using? I used A LOT lol

 

[rach2010]

i put about 4 drops into massage oil and rub it on my bump. And about 10 into baths. Should i try using a bit more? i had some niggles today and could really do with it getting started!

 

[Blah11]

I used far more than 4 drops prob more like 15!

Lol so 15 drops of clary sage with how many drops of carrier oil? This is for massaging, should it be double or triple?

I got my oils from holland & barratt, learnt about it at our nct class
