Pregnancy has its perks\u2014including people showering you with praise, like \u201cYou\u2019re glowing!\u201d<\/strong><\/span> and \u201cThat baby bump is beautiful!\u201d<\/strong><\/span> But sometimes carrying a bun in the oven can be exhausting.\u00a0Ditch the stress, find ways to relax, and bring on the excitement, because in nine months or less, your little one will arrive!<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Relieve tension.<\/strong><\/span> Your pregnant body can experience aches and pains. Treat yourself to a prenatal massage or foot rub with our Relaxation\u2122 Massage Oil<\/a>. Your body will thank you for it!<\/p>\n

2. Drink up.<\/strong> <\/span>Remember: You\u2019re hydrating for two now. Savor the flavor of minty-fresh water with a drop of Spearmint Vitality essential oil<\/a>.\u00a0If you\u2019re in the mood for a taste of citrus, try a drop of Lemon Vitality essential oil<\/a>!*<\/p>\n

3. Satisfy your taste buds.<\/strong><\/span> Sometimes you crave the oddest foods. Treat your taste buds with a healthy snack like our DIY no-bake energy balls<\/a>.* You can\u2019t go wrong with a burst of tangerine and chocolate\u2014yum!<\/p>\n

4. Refresh your senses.<\/span> <\/strong><\/span>Strong odors can cause terrible nausea during pregnancy. We recommend keeping your favorite essential oil in your purse. When you come across a bad smell, pop out your favorite essential oil\u2014maybe Spearmint<\/a>; take a sniff and slowly breathe in and out.<\/p>\n

5. Get some sleep. <\/strong><\/span>Uncomfortable positions, multiple trips to the restroom, and restless thoughts make pregnancy more exhausting. Try some light stretching before bed and diffuse Peace & Calming\u00ae<\/a> for a restful nighttime routine<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6. Prepare early.<\/strong> <\/span>Avoid the last-minute stress of getting everything baby-ready. Start early and move at an easy pace in the weeks leading up to delivery by washing some clothes, tidying up the nursery, and prepping meals so you can enjoy the last few days before the baby arrives!<\/p>\n

7. Talk it through.<\/strong><\/span> You\u2019re going to have a ton of questions about your pregnancy and what to do after your baby arrives. No need to worry; just talk about it. Sit down with your health care practitioner, your mom, or your partner and get all your fears out in the open. Remember: It\u2019s normal to have pre-baby jitters, but you\u2019ll do great!<\/p>\n

8. Pamper your skin. <\/strong><\/span>A little bit of pampering makes a big difference during pregnancy. Add some much-needed moisture to your arms, legs, and growing belly with our DIY lotion bar.<\/a> Kick back, listen to relaxing music, and let the moisture sink in!<\/p>\n

9. Find your center. <\/strong><\/span>Clear your mind with some light yoga. For an enriching experience, diffuse calming oils like Stress Away\u2122<\/a> or Sacred Sandalwood\u2122<\/a> to keep your worries at bay.<\/p>\n

10. Put your feet up. <\/strong><\/span>If your dogs are barkin\u2019\u2014and I\u2019m not talking about your pet\u2014then treat yourself to a much-needed foot soak. Mix \u00bc cup of Epsom salt, 3 drops of Copaiba essential oil<\/a>, 3 drops of Lavender essential oil<\/a> and 2 drops of Lemon essential oil<\/a> to blend in your bath tub. Dip your feet in for 15-30 minutes and enjoy! You can also diffuse these oils for a wonderful Nesting blend!<\/p>\n

11. Say encouraging words. <\/strong><\/span>The thought of giving birth can be scary. Remind yourself that you\u2019re strong and you can do this! If that doesn\u2019t work, think about cradling that precious babe in your arms; works like a charm!<\/p>\n

12. Enjoy the process.<\/strong> <\/span>You have a baby on the way, so pin baby clothes on your Pinterest wall, read nursery books, and get excited to meet the little one you\u2019ve been carrying for months.<\/p>\n
