Id like to share some awesome products that I bought. The first two are from the Mama Goddess Birth Shop, a GREAT resource for mama's to-be with online stores in the US and Canada:
Calming Mama Bath Salts, I plan on relaxing in a warm bath with these tonight! It's a blend of rock salt, calendula petals, rose petals, lavender buds, lavender oil and rose geranium oil. It smells DEVINE!
Growing Belly Tea is a blend of nettle, raspberry leaf, alfalfa, peppermint and partridge berry tea, great for pregos as they enter their third trimester. Red raspberry leaf is a uterine tonic and helps tone and strengthen the uterine walls in preparation for childbirth (it can help with menstrual cramps and miscarriage recovery as well). Nettle is FULL of essential minerals and vitamins a, c, and e. This tea may sound like a bushel of grass, but with just a smidge of honey it is really very tasty and relaxing.My lovely Doula and BFF Corrina got me on to both Raspberry Leaf and Nettle teas.
And I also got an AMBER TEETHING NECKLACE! I am so glad I found one made locally and saved myself shipping and duty charges! Hooray! Amber apparently is a natural analgesic and anti-inflammatory that can help babies through the pain of teething, its been used by European mommies for centuries. I first heard about these over on Rachel Denbow's blog Smile and Wave, she swears by them and I am so happy to have found one! I'll let you know if it works.
That's about all for this week folks, peace, love and pickles!
