I know women all over the world give birth every day and have been for thousands of years but I’d be lying if I am a bit nervous about how long it will take me to recover. I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant with our first baby. Our due date is in one week and six days, which we all means nothing! This sweet girl will come whenever she decided it's time. We are patiently and anxiously awaiting her arrival.

While I am waiting, I whipped up this DIY to help with my recovery:

𝐃𝐈𝐘 𝐏𝐚𝐝𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 ⁣

•3-5 drops Frankincense Essential Oil ⁣

•3-5 drops Lavender Essential Oil

•Organic Aloe Vera ⁣

•Disposable pads ⁣

⁣

Some tips: open the pad to add ingredients but don’t take off the wrapper. ⁣

⁣

My doula recommended packing 2-4 for the hospital and also some for home recovery. ⁣
