    It's supposed to help bring on labour.

    I was choosing which bubble bath to use earlier and I discovered my blue radox is sea salt and clary sage oil!! Don't think I'll be using it again until I'm a bit further on lol

    Morrisons had all the Radox 90p-£1 when we went on tuesday....

    Im scared to venture into the bathroom to find out which one I bought just in case its that one and I cant use it :eek:
    I think I would actually break down!

    P.S Thanks everyone for messages re the midwife...
    Strangely enough as much as it upset me, its kinda given me a bit of a kick up the bum. Mainly because I got really angry this afternoon (hence not posting LOL) about it so I sat down and wrote out a big long list of all the things I want to do before baby is here, divided it into things that are baby related, house related, personal, financial etc....all the time I was just thinking "fa-shizzle you, you horrible midwife..... my pregnancy is gonna kick a$$ just to show you up" LOL which is totally not a rational or sensical approach LOL

    Then I sat upstairs and straightened my hair and did my make up..... despite not needing to leave the house again LOL....
    So you ladies get to benefit from a very sexy looking me :p

    Now cmon ladies, its time for the baby boom!!!! :rotfl:

    CAFC girl - if you have got that one I wouldn't worry about using it. I've definitely used it earlier in pg (before I knew what clary sage oil was!) and there's nothing on the bottle about not using it or it not being safe x

    I did think potentially there might not be a high enough concentration in it to have any effect....
    I generally find this with most bubble baths, esp lavendar and ones that say they'll relax your muscles...... they never do what they say on the tin :mad:

    The clary sage oil in radox is such a small amount it wont make a difference. Its usually pure clary sage oil that brings on labour :)
    But it hasn't worked for me :(

    Everytime i use it i do get pains later on though, but nothing strong enough to force baby down that tunnel! lol.

    Was just popping on before watching doctor who :D
    Just had dinner, we had southern fried chicken (birds eye ones) veg and mash. But we mixed some philidelphia with the mash and it was lush :D

    Right actually off now, if i pop out a baby during the night i'll let you all know :p
