It's time!! The beautiful life you have been helping grow and nurture for the past nine months is ready to finally meet you. The labor process can be exhausting and lengthy, but it is all worth it in the end, so don't you worry. We have a few helpful blends to help induce labor, calm your labor pains, and sustain energy during the exciting and emotional birthing process.

I would like to note: this blog is based on research and my personal experience being pregnant. I am not a doctor, and always recommend you talk to your doctor before adding anything new to your lifestyle while pregnant. I read online that oils were not safe during the first trimester, but my doctor gave me the green light to use them right away. Lemon, ginger and peppermint essential oils helped my acid reflux tremendously the first few months, so I will personally tell you it was fine for me. Again, do what is best for you and your baby.
