After that surprise positive pregnancy test, things got REAL pretty quickly! One thing I loved was having our Young Living essential oils at hand to help with the little ups and downs that come with growing a baby during pregnancy!
Here's a list of resources we used during our rainbow baby pregnancy:
Young Living Essential Oils used during pregnancy:
Joy (over heart and belly, inhaled)
Valor (over heart, belly, lower back)
Gentle Baby (belly/hips)
KidScents Lotion (belly/hips)
Orange (legs)
Cypress (ankles/legs)
CelLite Magic massage oil (for prenatal massages/hips/legs)
Ortho Ease massage oil (prenatal massage/hips/back)
Wintergreen* (back/hips)
PanAway* (back/hips)
Ginger (belly/chest, inhaled)
Peppermint (belly/chest, inhaled)
Stress Away (wrists/back of neck, inhaled)
*These were used with my care provider's express permission due to the use of prescription blood thinners in my pregnancy (from genetic issues and because I was a high risk case)
Young Living essential oil infused supplements used to support a healthy mom during pregnancy:
Thyromin (support adrenal and thyroid gland)
MultiGreens (supports energy and iron production)
Sulfurzyme aka MSM (supports cell production, immune system)
Ningixa Red (I didn't mention this drink in my video, but I drank 4-6 oz per day to help with energy and get my antioxidants! It tastes wonderful too, and was sometimes the only thing I could keep down!)
This is by no means an exhaustive list of the essential oils helps I had during pregnancy, but it is definitely a start! If you'd like to chat oils and pregnancy- contact me!
It has been a long four years. I feel a little out of touch, because so much has happened in my life- our life- since the fall of 2015!
That was when, after years of infertility, we found ourselves staring at an extra pink line on a pregnancy test!
Since that day it has been a bit of a roller coaster ride- and in the past few months I’ve truly only just started to reach a point in my personal journey where I’m ready to get back to Young Living and the future it holds for me, my family, and YOU!
Here’s a bit more about my journey:
I have recommitted to my journey with Young Living, and to use this blog to share the things I’ve learned and utilized. I am so excited to be able to help others in the process of growing, and I trust you will reach out if you have a specific need I can help you with!
