I didn't use anything during either of my births, but lots in the lead up - raspberry leaf, EPO, a homeopathic one that I can't remember the name of (birth prep or something maybe?), and pregnancy tea. Both were reasonably quick (8 hours/1 hour) and natural water births.]]> Thu, 19 Apr 2012 13:57:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41912&PID=5793891&title=homeopathic-natural-aids-during-labour#5793891 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41912&PID=5793503&title=homeopathic-natural-aids-during-labour#5793503 Author: AandCsmum

I used water in our bath to see if it helped labour along, certainly ramped up things for me. Also made sure that I was fully dehydrated in the days leading up to labour.]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2012 21:36:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41912&PID=5793503&title=homeopathic-natural-aids-during-labour#5793503 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41912&PID=5793370&title=homeopathic-natural-aids-during-labour#5793370 Author: Kellz

I used accupressure techniques - did some myself and taught DH others to use on me,...and have passed on the info to others who have also found it very helpful.]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:28:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41912&PID=5793370&title=homeopathic-natural-aids-during-labour#5793370 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41912&PID=5793366&title=homeopathic-natural-aids-during-labour#5793366 Author: Red

I used something called Birth aid I think it was, hard to know if it helped but had a straight forward and relatively fast first delivery.]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:49:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41912&PID=5793366&title=homeopathic-natural-aids-during-labour#5793366 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41912&PID=5793326&title=homeopathic-natural-aids-during-labour#5793326 Author: AbzandH

Hi all,

Just wondering if you used anything natural during your labour to help things along.. I have a couple of friends recently who have used different things and really think they helped so thought I would put it out there to everyone to share their experiences/thoughts and the like. Both friends had natural births that went relatively quickly (was their second so that could help the speed). Am definitely keen to give these a go!

Look forward to hearing from you all!]]> Tue, 17 Apr 2012 08:06:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41912&PID=5793326&title=homeopathic-natural-aids-during-labour#5793326
