<h1 class=”has-text-align-left wp-block-heading”>Six essential oils for pregnancy, labor, and delivery</h1>



<p>I had the pleasure of spending time with a childhood friend who&#8217;s expecting a baby in a few months. Seeing her beautiful belly reminded me of how nerve-racking it could be with so many thoughts and emotions overflowing during this time. Trust me, I was there twice, and I know the feeling! I got you covered with simple tips I&#8217;ve used to help my friends and me during pregnancy. </p>



<h2 class=”has-text-align-left wp-block-heading”><strong>Natural Remedies to help with labor &; delivery </strong></h2>



<h3 class=”has-text-align-center wp-block-heading”><strong>Contractions</strong></h3>



<p>The initial pain and pressure are experienced when your body communicates that your baby&#8217;s time has arrived. For this phase, I diffuse Serenity essential oil from doTerra because it&#8217;s the perfect blend of oils to calm and soothe the mind, body, and soul. I used it throughout my entire pregnancy to help me relax and have restful nights of deep sleep. </p>



<p><em><strong>Ingredients:</strong></em> <em>Lavender Flower, Cedarwood, Ho Wood Leaf, Ylang Ylang Flower, Marjoram Leaf, Roman Chamomile Flower, Vetiver Root, Vanilla Bean Absolute, Hawaiian Sandalwood</em></p>



<h3 class=”has-text-align-center wp-block-heading”>Labor</h3>



<p>If you&#8217;re past your due date and the doctor is talking about induction, simply massage <a rel=”noreferrer noopener” href=”https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/clary-sage-oil” target=”_blank”><strong>Clary Sage</strong></a> oil on the ankles or abdomen. If you&#8217;re already experiencing contractions and want to help facilitate labor naturally, rub <a rel=”noreferrer noopener” href=”https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/clary-sage-oil” target=”_blank”><strong>Clary Sage oil</strong></a> on the ankles only. This essential oil stimulates blood flow to the pelvis and triggers uterine contractions. I strongly suggest having someone massage your feet and ankles with <a rel=”noreferrer noopener” href=”https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/clary-sage-oil” target=”_blank”>Clary Sage</a> + <a rel=”noreferrer noopener” href=”https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/doterra-serenity-oil” target=”_blank”>Serenity</a>. <em>It works wonders!</em></p>



<h3 class=”has-text-align-center wp-block-heading”>Delivery</h3>



<p>The act or process of giving birth. For this phase, I gently massage <strong><a href=”https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/lavender-oil” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Lavender</a></strong>, <strong><a href=”https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/clary-sage-oil” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Clary Sage</a></strong>, and <strong><a href=”https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/balance-grounding-blend-oil” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Balance</a></strong> on the lower back, hips, feet, and abdomen by diluting them with a carrier oil such as <strong><a href=”https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/usage-fractionated-coconut-oil-carrier-oil” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>fractionated coconut oil</a></strong>. Combining these three essential oils creates a powerful blend of super chill vibes, promoting tranquility and a sense of calmness. The <a href=”https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/balance-grounding-blend-oil” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>balance oil</a> helps to harmonize the various physiological systems of the body.</p>



<p><strong><em>Ingredients for Balance:</em></strong> <em>Spruce Leaf, Ho Wood Leaf, Frankincense Resin, Blue Tansy Flower, Blue Chamomile Flower, and Osmanthus Flower</em></p>

<h3 class=”has-text-align-center wp-block-heading”>Extra Tip</h3>



<p>While at the hospital ask if it&#8217;s permitted to diffuse essential oils to help mom ease up and create a calming atmosphere. If granted permission, diffuse <a href=”https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/geranium-oil” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><strong>Geranium</strong></a> <em>(promotes emotional balance)</em>, <strong><a href=”https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/doterra-serenity-oil” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Serenity</a></strong> <em>(promotes relaxation)</em>, or the <a href=”https://www.doterra.com/US/en/p/elevation-oil” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”><strong>Elevation</strong></a> essential oil, which helps awaken everyone&#8217;s senses by uplifting moods and enhancing mom&#8217;s confidence. I clearly remember nurses loving our room and appreciating the calming atmosphere. </p>

<p>The six essential oils mentioned above are high-quality therapeutic-grade oils from doTerra.
