A temp in labour..I'd consider 37.7 and above a temp, however that would have to be 2 hours running, and if the woman was in the water, I'd get her out and check the temp again. Robyn Dempsey - Original Message - From: Sally @ home To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au

I was also thinking, dehydration can cause a temp, so keeping up those fluids helps avoid a temp in the first place! Robyn D - Original Message - From: Andrea Quanchi To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au Sent: Tuesday, December 12, 2006 11:19 AM Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] temp

I'd consult with a herbalist. Echinacea tinctures/ douches etc can be mixed up. I also have heard that a clove of garlic inserted into the vagina ( peeled clove) for 3 nights in a row also aids in reducing GBS. Robyn D - Original Message - From: Melanie Sommeling [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, the synto is about $100 a box. So what I do, is buy/pay for one box, which lasts for the next women ( does that make sense?), I only use Synto about once a year! ( and then there are the years you need it 3 times in a row!) Robyn D - Original Message - From: Jennifairy [EMAIL
