...that's supposed to smell like the beach. only now for some reason it just smells like bug spray to me!!! :-( i'm so sad! i was looking forward to using something to staunch the 'medical smell' of the place!!
We brought smell-good things, but I was too in my own world to want/need them or even notice they weren't there. It's incredible how different everyone's labor is!
My midwife kept spraying lavender on a tissue for me, that I kept tucked in the strap of my nursing sleep bra. It was heavenly and so relaxing. I had brought massage oil, but totally forgot about it. Her thinking of the lavender... best idea ever!
