It is an amazing experience and privilege to feel a child growing inside, but it sure isn't easy!
With all the wonderful feelings comes a whole lot of discomfort, pain and emotional breakdowns.
And here I am, 25 weeks pregnant with our second baby.
I love it, but it's hard.
If there was a time I was most thankful for my Young Living essential oils, it would be now.
Between the mood swings, heartburn, nausea and so many other things that go along with carrying a child inside you, these oils have been a lifesaver.
Honestly, I was nervous to use them at first. There are many warnings about certain things that shouldn't be used during pregnancy and some essential oils fall into that category. That made me a little apprehensive to use my favourite oils that I knew would be amazing for whatever I was going through.
So I researched and I read.
I desperately wanted to start using my oils again.
What I came up with is that there are lots of oils I can still be using. I trust my judgement, the advice of those who have much more knowledge and God, because he cares about little things like this.
So I jumped back into my oils and haven't looked back.
My favourites for this pregnancy have been Copaiba, Deep Relief, Lavender, Stress Away and Peppermint, just to name a few.
And I'm excited to bring these oils into the delivery room with me for an awesome, oily birth.
