heading off a cold late in pregnancy?

[Guest guest]

thank you, yogaman and Martha, for your suggestions. I think what

I have is a touch of allergies, fortunately, not a cold. But of course

still drinking hot beverages, as I always do, and I'm feeling mostly

good.

Martha, my understanding is that rosemary, eucalyptus, and

cinnamon (and possibly some of the others you recommended) are

contraindicated in pregnancy. Perhaps this late in pregnancy it's

not that big of a deal, but I've been avoiding them completely and

sticking with rose, lavender, chamomile, and a bit of sandalwood,

which are supposed to be gentle enough. I do a massage with an

oil (almond) that I put those oils in every morning in the shower,

which I love.

Could be any day now that the baby comes - almost 39 weeks

along now.

Blessings,

Connie
