Pregnancy Safe Oils: Petra King Photography| Maternity + Baby + Wedding Photographer

Welcoming a baby into your life is such an exciting time. But it also makes you want to do better for yourself and your environment so that he/she can grow up healthy. One of the best ways to do so in my opinion is to try and eliminate toxins in your home. We are exposed to over 270 chemicals and toxins on a daily basis. Gross right? lol

Pregnancy Safe Oils to help calm anxiety: Oshawa Low Tox Motherhood Studio

I am a mama of 2. They say I have Irish twins ;) All I know is that having children 11 months apart was HARD. It felt lonely, draining and chaotic at times. I also felt like I was stuck on a hamster wheel in someone else’s body. Once you become a mom, the focus shifts from yourself to your child/ren and you will do anything for them. And like many, in this process you lose yourself.

I longed to have time for myself, but even when I got it, I didn’t give myself the time needed to enjoy it whole heartedly. Constanly wondering about the kids at home, running errands etc etc. I know this hits home with so many of you. You aren’t alone!

Amid the loud chaos of Motherhood though, comes the indescribable blessings and love we gain.

Make time for yourself. Make YOU a priority. Create CALM in your chaos. Trust me…you will thank yourself you did and be a better mom, wife/partner for it. It took me years to do so. I don’t want you to waste as much time as I did.

It doesn’t have to be fancy or expensive. But you do need to make it a priority. Be it with your first or your second or third child, your body craves calm at times. Have you considered using essential oils to help?

Here are 3 pregnancy safe oils that can help create calm and rid anxiety:

1. Bergamot- did you know that this hails from the citrus family? wards off anxiety/ apprehension

-add a few drops to your hands,rub together and inhale. Or simple diffuse and practice deep breathing while inhaling.

2. Lavender, amazing at balancing and healing our emotions.

-add a few drops to hands and inhale or rub over your heart/vita flex points, add 5-8 drops in your diffuser and enjoy

3. Frankincense- the King of oils ;) After all baby Jesus was gifted Frankincence for it’s magical healing properties for the body and mind.

-add drops to hands, rub together, inhale, place over heart or on temples/neck. Diffuse and enjoy or even during yoga or meditation.

I touched base on this recently in a previous blog post and my newsletter, but find YOUR happy oil. Lean into it and know that these emotions and feelings will pass. Pregnancy is hard enough on our bodies and minds. But you aren’t alone and I am here for you and to share with you oils I love, that work and that are 100% healthy for you and your baby.

Planning ahead is always a good thing. If you’d like to have these oils on hand click the link below and save 24%
