Susan Weed in her book recommends that rather than take castor oil internally the women could rub it on her tummy and then put a hot towel over the castor oil.
Sally Westbury Homebirth Midwife "It takes courage to remain a true advocate for women, challenging authority and sacrificing social and professional acceptance. It takes courage for a woman to choose a caregiver who will truly advocate for and empower her." -Judy Slome Cohain -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Abby and Toby Sent: Thursday, 7 October 2004 6:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] Induction by Rupture of Membranes >>From there you can go to acupressure points and acupuncture.Then herbs and lastly castor oil. You can find recipes for these on various web sites. > marilyn Thanks Marilyn. Suggested all those earlier today just didn't want to miss any if there was extras. www.gentlebirth.org ( i think) have a great section on natural induction methods, I always back up my suggestions with links to sites, books etc. >From communicating more, she seems to have been "told" she was having the stretch and sweep........aauugghh!! She knows that her and bubs are okay and she knows all the options......I kinda wish I had been there to hear what had been said to her. We have spent a fair bit of time talking about options as induction was bought up a while ago. It is so hard to go against what the docs are saying, especially in those last weeks when some women are really keen to meet their baby. Hopefully it won't come to that date and things will get started before then. thanks Love Abby ( P.S. Wondering if it is normal to spot after a "stretch and sweep"? She was incredibly shaken for quite a while after it and has started spotting.) -- This mailing list is sponsored by ACE Graphics.
