Thanks for this.
It will come in very handy - especially since I just found out that I'm pregnant.

Congratulations to all of you mothers to be!!!! I'm so happy for you
Can I just add one - I used lemon during the birth, and it was great - I had lemon on one side, and lavender on the other
Nowadays in most hospitals, they have aromatherepy as an option for during labour
