Anyone into Essential Oils?

Question

My sister is and suggested I start massaging with jojoba oil with sage and lavender to prepare my area shall we say, to help prevent tearing during delivery. Any thoughts on this?

Answer

Peppermint flips the baby to breech position in the third trimester. Avoid it!

Answer

I'm not 100% sure about putting oil on your skin while pregnant but I use the oils for aromatherapy. I didn't like how the l&d unit smelled when I toured the hospital, so I'll spray my bed with peppermint and lavender incase there are any bugs around. I'll spray my room with frankincense and myrhh because that smell calms me down.

Answer

I'm a religious hard core essential oil user and have been using it throughout my pregnancy. I wouldn't use just any "oils" and would research the dosage. Very important during pregnancy as well as the quality of the oils. I believe perineum massage is beneficial at that end of the pregnancy, last 4 weeks or so.

Answer

I have heard "gentle baby" is good for your "area" as you said lol not sure how soon before birth though! I use essential oils as well, but I know there's a few to avoid during pregnancy!
