    Hello all :) Am sitting at work comping (naughty naughty) and thought I would come and join the chatter. Am back to comping after a break of about 8 months. Working through them all again. Just moved into my first bought flat with my OH so getting that all sorted has taken up my time.

    I hope everyone is well xx

    Freezing today!

    lol sweetiepie. You know there are only a couple of ways that actually work to bring on labour, one of them is clary sage oil. You can get some to use in a burner or in the bath, but it really stinks, I couldn't stand the smell, if you are desperate though it works in about 50% of women...

    So far, I've only had 2 wins since November; a mascara and a DSi game.

    Ooooh, not heard that one!! So far I am taking Raspberry Leaf, Black Cohosh and Pulsatilla :rotfl: I swear by Raspberry leaf tho, have it as tablets. My labours were super fast after I had taken that, and very slow when i hadn't (I am on baby number 5 :eek:).

    Why have the wins slowed down does anyone think? I am a newbie (well used to comp but years ago) so not much to compare it to. Is it newbies luckier than me taking all the prizes? Lol
