So I'm finally finishing unpacking my hospital bag (8 weeks later, haha) and I was reminded about THIS amazing tool - a head scratcher! It was DH's idea to pack it and it was by far the best contraction managing tool I had that day, especially since it was 20 hours before I could have an epidural. Kind of unconventional but totally relaxing!! Thought I'd pass it on for any future mamas packing their bags!

Oh, good idea. When I was in labor I loved when my doula did my hair (ha- I sound so fancy, I was a hot mess). I bet I would have liked this.

That's amazing! I have one of those, actually, that I stash in a secret place downstairs. Its best when someone else does it to you, but I will totally do it to myself on any given day. Good to know its useful during labor!!

Say what?! I could only imagine taking that thing and trying to stab my husband with it, but I bet it would actually feel really good. Interesting!

Oh gosh. I bet it would be super helpful. Am I crazy if I buy one when I'm only 4 weeks along?! @lovehoneybee: ah. Such a good deal. Hoping they aren't used or covered in lice lol.

oh my gosh I have one of those and love it!! I actually brought one of those to a family member who was in the hospital and during with pain from cancer. I had a hunch it might relieve some pain. Goood to know it will come in handy for myself one day down the line!
