Delivery room diffuser


My Essential Oil Diffuser was one of the first things in my hospital bag. It will also be one of the first things we set up when we arrive at the hospital.


 I have been using diffuser in my home for over 3 years now. I have used them for anything from respiratory support during colds, to help us sleep more soundly, to clean the air in our home, and to affect our moods.




I know I will want to set a certain mood in the room depending on how I feel and how the labor is going. So here are some of my favorite options for mood support:




Wild Orange and Balance: for some reason this combination of oils smells SO GOOD to me lately. It also comes to mind whenever I think about how I want the atmosphere in my delivery room. Wild Orange is always uplifting but also calming. I smells so clean and fresh. Balance is a grounding blend and just helps you to become more present in the moment. What better combination could you get?!




Serenity: is always one of my favorites for its calming effects and the sweet smell.




Citrus Bliss: smells like a creamsicle and is a combination of a few citrus oils, which are always uplifting.

Diffusing essential oils for mood support can also be helpful if it is a particularly difficult labor/delivery. During these times it will be especially helpful to keep everyone (mom, dad, doctors and nurses) calm and focused.


After the delivery, I plan to switch the oils in my diffuser to create a more calming, balancing atmosphere. This will help our new little one feel safe and calm as we bond as a family.


During my hospital stay I will also use the diffuser to make sure the air is clean and we are not allowing our guest bring unwanted germs into the room. I plan to diffuse Onguard and/or Lemon at least once a day to kill any airborne germs.


Happy Diffusing!

Its the Final Countdown!




We have only one week left till my induction date for my sweet baby boy!

 I have been prepping for my Labor, Delivery, and New Baby for the past few weeks and it is completely different than my first delivery. Since I had my daughter, I started using Essential Oils and have tried to make healthy transformations in multiple areas of our life. I had no clue what to expect with my first delivery and had no tools to support me in this experience. I luckily had a beautiful delivery and my daughter was born very healthy.

This time, I am so excited to use my essential oils to support me (physically, mentally, emotionally), my new baby and my growing family.

This is a time of big change for my sweet family. My daughter is 4 years old and has been an only child with full attention from everyone. My husband and I will be making big changes in our schedules and routine (that we are more that excited and willing to make) but will take some getting used to.

Essential Oil Transformations can be used whether you are going to be delivering your baby at home with no medical support or you will be delivery in a hospital with an epidural (as I plan to do). So follow along this week as I share some of the Essential Oil Transformations that will be accompanying our upcoming delivery!

With Love,
Amanda
