I have ordered lavender oil which I am going to put on my pillow for when I start listening to my hypnobirthing tracks, to kind of create an anchor and calming environment which I (hopefully) can remember and focus on for when I go into labour.

Anyone else have any other good ones that have personally worked for them and helped them get in ‘the zone’?

I use Vicks VapoRub a lot and have read it has Camphor oil, which I love the smell of! So I’m not sure whether to get a small bottle of that to remind me of home. However all the research on Camphor oil says unsafe during pregnancy, but when I look into it more it relates to applying it directly to your skin or even eating it! I won’t be doing that. It’s purely for the smell so just spraying it or rubbing it on a pillow.

Any advise would be amazing!

Thanks. 😘
