Birth Safety Research at the bottom of this blog.

Pregnancy is such a beautiful season! It's full of new growth for mom & baby, strengthening, preparing, & so much refining! Take this time to draw inward. Listen to your mind, baby, & body- do what they are asking of you.
Rest, nourish yourself, protect your peace & space, reflect & process your past & current emotions, & get ready to fall so in love with a tiny human.

This season is going to stretch you so so much- it's in preparation for birth & then motherhood, so though it may be hard, don't resist it. In preparation for your birth you need to learn to surrender your control to God & bring full peace into your mind & body. This doesn't happen overnight so start now.

Birth is not something to fear.
It is perfectly designed into a woman.
A natural birth is an opportunity for a woman to use both incredible strength & surrender to bring her child into the world.
She uses the power of the voice of her body & baby to guide her through the process.
Trusting that her body knows how to do this & her baby knows what it needs, even if she doesn’t.
Her only job is to gather all her strength to surrender to the beautiful process.

You’re gonna want my Holistic Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum Guide!

This is your step-by-step guide to use ancestral & modern wisdom to make informed decisions to peacefully experience a beautiful, natural pregnancy, birth, and postpartum.

No overwhelming information overload.❤️ Just the basic, easy-to-understand education you need to make holistic, wise, and informed decisions! This is everything I wish I knew as a first-time mama!

My Pregnancy must have’s:

Books to read (Nurture, Gentle Birth Gentle Mothering, Childbirth Without Fear, The First 40 Days, & Holy Labor)
Claraderm Spray; use this daily to prepare your lady parts starting at 36 weeks)
Progessance Plus serum (use till 12ish weeks for healthy progesterone levels)
Moon Womb pillow for better sleep & nursing
Oils for sleep: Lavender, Peace & Calming, Stress Away, Dream Catcher, & Frankincense
Oils for back/muscle pain or tension: Deep Relief, Valor, & Peppermint
Prenatals are not a “one size fits all”, so you need to address what your body needs. I recommend taking Ningxia Red, Super B, Mineral Essence, & OmegaGize
Take daily 2-6 daily Beef Liver use code LILYEIDE10 to save
For heartburn: Digize oil rubbed on your stomach and raw milk
For morning sickness, make sure you're getting the above supplements in for nourishment. Things that also may help (Peppermint*, JuvaFlex*, Digize*, Alkalime*)
For stretch marks (10 drops each Lavender*, Frankincense*, & Copiaba* oils mixed with 1/2c coconut oil)

Being a parent is making decisions for your child's health. Many of these choices are things you can’t take back- so I encourage you to do your own research & make your decisions carefully, with confidence & without fear.

Decisions to Make/Things to Research:
OB, Midwife, Birth Center, Home Birth, Free Birth
Ultrasounds
GBS testing & antibiotics
Eye ointment
Birth classes
Delayed cord clamping
Vaccines (all of them. The book Dissolving Illusions is a great resource.)
Vit K shot
Circumcision
Induction
Pitocin
IV fluids
Epidural
Cervical checks
Continuous fetal monitoring
Episiotomy/tears/stitching
Cascade of interventions
Skin to skin
Breastfeeding/Formula
The 5-5-5 rule
Postpartum rest
Cosleeping

This is not a full list, but the basics. Yes, I know it can be overwhelming but this is a part of your parenthood- making decisions for your child. This book is an incredible resource for some of these topics. The Natural Minded Mamma has a great list you should read. By the time you deliver, you should have a decision made on each of these things.

Things to prepare your body for birth:

Yoga or some form of daily stretching
Pelvic opening movements with a oga ball
Make sure you are staying well-hydrated
Eat dates
Make sure you are consuming a salt & mineral-rich diet. Read this guide to learn more about minerals.
Claraderm spray* every time you pee sprayed on your lady parts 35 weeks till delivery
Gentle Birth tincture 3x a day 35 weeks till birth
Daily movement (walks, hike, biking, whatever you like to do)
Take the "prenatal" I talked about above, especially Beef Liver & Ningxia Red
