Herbal medicine birth and labour preparation for my first baby!
Things are getting real for the upcoming birth day of #BabyWellington
Here are my Naturopathic formulated products made by the lovely Kristin from BodyWise BirthWise - Naturopath, Birth Educator, Doula & Placenta Services to help prepare for labour and birth:
Labourade Powder - Electrolytes for hydration and muscle function during labour. Made with Coconut Water, Pineapple, Manuka Honey, Calcium and Magnesium.
Peri-Prep Oil - My Women’s Health physiotherapist has recommend perineal massage, which can be undertaken from 35 weeks onwards. This reduces the incidence of perineal trauma requiring suturing.
The Birth Prep Tonic #1 - Traditional blend of birth prep herbs to help support the body in late pregnancy and in preparation for labour. (Suitable from 34 weeks)
The Birth Prep Tonic #2 - This blend of herbs work at prepping and toning the uterus for the work ahead. (Suitable from 38 weeks only)
Mama's After Pains Relief - Can be taken from day 1 postpartum. It contains antispasmodic and relaxant herbs aimed at the smooth muscles of the uterus for involution pains.
Postnatal Recovery Tonic - Supports the hormonal transition and physical recovery after birth.
Peri-Heaven Postnatal Herbal Spray - Soothe, cool, clean and help heal those tender regions after birth.
Peri-Heaven Postnatal Herb Bags - Can be used as a sitz bath, direct warm or cooled compress. I also purchased an Upside Down Postnatal Wash Bottle
Cord Care, Antiseptic Herbal Powder Spray - To help dry, disinfect and protect baby's cord as it heals.
