Does anyone have any experience with essential oils during labor?

I'm wanting to use lavender in a diffuser! Also have lemon handy. Helps with nausea

@ceceandgianny216 , which did you use?

@kristinajohnson6 , that's a really smart idea! Thank you

@_sheriee, I put lavender on a cotton ball in a cup and mint on another. Lavender to clam myself and I just love mint 😁 so pick something that makes you happy! I put it on a cotton ball in a small cup so I could smell them when I was going through a contraction but not have them on me if I wanted to get away from the smell

Thanks! Gonna see if there's a store nearby. @deysilopez2275

@_sheriee, 😂 that can irritate baby

@deysilopez2275 , lavender does sound like it would be good to calm. I actually did look it up, some say you could insert but I don't think I'd go that far 😂😂 I'll keep them on the outside.

@_sheriee, lavender is calming go to Earthbound store

@kristinajohnson6 , which do you recommend if you don't mind me asking? I've read into Clary sage but can't find it anywhere near me.

@kristinajohnson6, @_sheriee, lavender might be a good essential oil scent I actually didn’t used them never thought of the idea and 😂 thought of the rubbing essential oils haha

I used them during my labor to help calm myself and they helped distract me while I was breathing through the contractions!

@deysilopez2275, no mama I mean as in burning them or using them on the points like wrist or back, not in my vagina. Ouch! Lol

No but it’s probably a bad idea for your vagina it might get irritated and infected
