I just wanted to say thanks for the Arnica tip! I took it to the hospital and have been taking it since (almost out, gotta get more!). It really makes a difference!   Oh and I wanted to add a tip from my MIL: Take extra...

UPDATE: Thanks hildare! It was actually one of the easiest so far. I drank a ton of water before I got cut down to 2 cups between 12 am-6am, at which point I was cut off. I still threw that up by 6, but I was much more hydrated still...

Congratulations!!! Sounds like you have a lot going on at the same time. I just wanted to say that even with all the extra medical care you can still do some natural things to support your body during this time. In fact there's a...

Is this really as dangerous as the interwebs make it sound? I've found my new favorite essential oil in the rose absolute I had arrive today. It's an absolute, so it's diluted in jojoba oil. Everything I'm seeing is saying it is...

I agree so much with CoBabyMaker! After my first two births, birth center 1st (ended in transfer c/s), hospital VBAC attempt 2nd, planned VBA2C turned previa, even though my c/s's go against my beliefs about natural birth, it feels...

Yes!!! 3:30 almost clock work! And it can go on most of the evening unless I really take it easy. In fact I just asked my doctor about it today and he said don't worry if they stop when I rest.

Anyone try this? Or know someone who did? I've got a few weeks left and am thinking about getting this, but not sure if it's worth the money. It would be a huge help if it helped hold things together. I always get superficial spots that...
