Birth

There are many natural and gentle methods of preparing for and assisting in the birthing process and for pain relief during all stages of labour and post-natally. Try massage or bathing with essential oils during early labour or arnica to promote rapid healing after the birth of your baby. A gym ball can be incredibly comforting to support you in different positions, both in the last few weeks of pregancy and during labour. Perineal massage at the end of your pregnancy with oil or gel is said to help prepare your muscles and protect against damage. Don't forget the essentials to help you through, like tea tree and lavender oils, a natural iron supplemt to boost your levels, organic maternity pads and nursing pads.
