Pregnancy

Has anyone used vitamins and herbal remedies right through pregnancy labour and birth?



What did you take why did you take it and did it work?



I took pregnacare right the way through a multi vitamin with folic acid and vitamin D in it ( both of which are now recommend by the department of health). I drank raspberry leaf tea near the end to try and get me ready for labour. It didn't start contractions but I'm sure it helped them to be strong, my pushing stages where not long at all!



I also used Clary Sage oil at the very very very end as this is meant to strengthen contractions but should be avoided in pregnancy.
