Theirs a lot of peeps with pregnant ladys who don't know what to have in-essentials or for when kittens arrive,thought this thread with everyones help would be helpful so-whats in yours?
Fresh clean blankets
Fresh clean tea towels
Sterile scissors
Sterile hand lotion_like what they use in hospitals

Any mods looking in, I think this should be made into a new sticky to replace some of the ones that were deleted recently.

Wendy's/Kelly's list plus
Kitchen roll for mopping up excess yucky bits and placentas
Rubbish bag for throwing out debris
Digital Scales for weighing babies
Soft padding for laying babies on the scales so it is not too cold and hard for their tiny little bodies
Pen/pad etc in case you want to note the times of arrival, sexes, weights

Hi Wendy - its a homeopathic remedy which also goes by the name of Blue Cohosh. Amongst its many uses, it is said to alleviate the pains associated with giving birth/delivering babies/parturition. Some people say to give it during the delivery if you notice your queen flagging a bit and some say to give it as soon as the onset of delivery is noticed or at first stage of labour.

Here is a link which tells you a bit about Caulophyllum

There are plenty of other places where information about it can be found.
