Hi hun,
Just been looking up some stuff on omeopathic remedies for you if they might e of help to get things pregressing
How can homeopathy help during the birth?

There are many effective remedies that can help deal with possible problems during childbirth, such as a cervix which is slow to dilate, pain, excessive bleeding, retained placenta and other difficulties. These need to be prescribed for by an experienced homeopath. Ask your homeopath if he or she can attend the birth, or ask if they will supply a labour kit with instructions so that your partner can give them to you during the labour. The following remedies are often needed, both during and after labour, so if you are new to homeopathy or unable to consult a homeopath then start out with these.
Aconite: the labour is too fast (any stage), the pains are very strong (even unbearable) and there is a feeling of panic.
Arnica: this wonderful remedy can be given from time to time during any labour to help the muscles function properly, and to relieve the over-exertion of labour.
Kali phosphoricum: for simple exhaustion during labour.
Caulophyllum: the labour is not progressing, the cervix is slow to dilate, the pains are strong but ineffective and move about. Women feel cold and trembly. NB Do not take Caulophyllum during your pregnancy without consulting a professional homeopath.
Pulsatilla: contractions are irregular and weak, the cervix is slow to dilate and women feel miserable, clingy and tearful. They talk about wanting to give up and go home!

Get your OH to go through the yellow pages and get some help, if conventional medicene is letting you down, opt for the alternative!

Hi and thanks Cat

Have just spoken to MW and she says she has got me a date with consultant for next friday and if i kick up stink they may do that day! But she says I will be having babe before then.

I have just bought some castor oil (I know loads of you are frowning on this!) but I am getting desperate,I have clary-sage oil,pineapple x4,lavendar for my bath and MW said will be ok to put Breast Pump for 7 mins 3x a day to get things going,the CASTOR OIL is a last resort I will not do this until at least Sunday after all the above has been tried

Thought I would let you know and thanks Cat will look into that

am feeling a lot more positive now tho god knows why?
Thanks again

Hun please please the caster oil can cause the bay to pass menacolum in the womb, if you have already been leaking your waters and been in latent labour for this long you realy and I mean REALLY risk distressing bubs and putting her at risk of infection. I know your getting desperate but please dont rick things like that, same with the clary sage.

I used my breastpump on the Monday night before I had Alex on the Wednesday (I was testing out my new one). I wonder if that tipped things over.
Homeopathy should help Bex, I bought a labour kit but didn't get chance to use it because by the time I realised I was in labour for definate it was pretty much over with!!

Glad you're feeling stronger Bex, keep up the positive thinking

Caroline

glad you are feeling better today hun. I really hope this baby comes soon for you. I can't believe they're leaving you until Friday to see consultant. Sending you tons of vibes for active labour to start really soon.

Keeping everythng crossed that this baby arrives tomorrow.
