Essential Oils for Pregnancy, Birth & Babies

If you're wanting studies and evidence for oils and pregnancy, this isn't what you're looking for. I was hoping to have a book grounded with research and evidence for the safety and efficacy of essential oils in pregnancy and with babies, but I was disappointed. The author seems to truly WANT to help and BELIEVE what she is teaching, but I just felt that she was making claims from no evidence throughout the whole book. I believe that essential oils can be powerful but I am also a user of typical over-the-counter medicines and prescription medication with no reservations. I was hoping to have more research so I could feel more confident with oils, but this book did not provide any research for me.

If you use oils, and are pregnant/new mother you want this on hand. I've used it for my different trimesters, I've made some labor blends, and ordered oils for postpartum, and have even used miscarriage blends for a friend. This book is highly respected in the oil community, and it's something I reference often.

Buy it. NO, buy several copies. I did. The info is so helpful, I ended up giving them as pregnancy / early baby shower gifts with some oil samples attached to help the new moms get started with even better self and baby care. You will be glad you own this book. Don't loan it out unless you have a back up. You may not get your only copy back.

I am a doTERRA Essential Oils user, just as the automatic of this great book Stephanie Fritz.I love using doTERRA oils because they some of the cleanest once available, much more effective without harming me and my family.I wish doTERRA was in business when I was pregnant. I am using a lot of advice from this book to help me with issues I have, even though I am not pregnant.I would recommend this book to everyone who is planning to get pregnant or is pregnant currently, especially if you want natural solutions to be healthy and have a healthy baby. There so many ways to replace chemicals in your body and home.Love this book!

This is a fabulous resource to new moms who are looking for overall answers to pregance quarstuons and what to to naturally with essential oils. I highly recommend this book to everyone. I have her 1st edition and the 2nd edion as I wanted to be up to date on all the changes.

Before I review and recommend this book, it would be important to inform the reader that this book was written from a standpoint of a person using DoTerra essential oils. Product names specific to the company are used throughout the book and would cause confusion to those using a different brand. That being said, I purchased this book hoping to find some relief from common issues in pregnancy such as heartburn, leg cramps, etc. Much of it proved to be very helpful as my leg cramps stopped upon following recommendations in this book. There were some other suggestions mentioned that were not oil related that I'm glad I followed as I am confident it helped make my delivery smoother (ie: no sugar during final trimester). Personally, I would not feel comfortable following her suggestions of ingesting oils during pregnancy, but I definitely would recommend following the aromatherapy and topical applications.

Excellent resource for moms and moms to be who use or want to use oils. I used many of the recommendations during my pregnancy and now that I have my daughter I continue to refer to the baby section for her needs.

I bought this book for my sister, who is three months pregnant. It has tons of great tips, and is perfect for alternate, natural remedies since she can't take things like ibuprofen, cold medicine, etc. I plan on getting it for myself when I have a baby!

I'm not sure about all the advice included within this book, some of it goes against my own aromatherapy training. Tea Tree oil neat inside the virgina? I wouldn't try this

Brief information about what is safe to use( and how) the essential oils in pregnancy labour and post birth ! I needed a guidevthat is quick to access without internet at any time of the day!!

great book arrived in good condition and gave great advice when preparing for birth and baby afterwards

Great book. Really helpful and full of good advice.

I have tutted my way through this book as the author states that you can ingest the oils, and you don't need to dilute them. if you are serious about aromatherapy don't buy this.
