Bringing a life into this world is a beautiful thing. The process being, however miraculous, is extremely painful for most mothers.
We have all heard those stories at playgroup where Trista’s mom would often forget she was pregnant from the ease of it all, and how on the way to the hospital she stopped for an ice cream cone and the baby was out before she could finish.
Okay, so maybe not that exact story, but somewhere along those lines. The principle is that the birthing process is not the same for everyone.
And whether you choose a natural birth, or one with interventions, knowing cost-effective, non-harmful ways to transition through the pain more smoothly is ideal for every mom.
Thankfully, nature has provided just that. There are many herbs that you can take to make things easier throughout various phases of the pregnant to postpartum months.
Herbal remedies have been used by dozens of cultures, over centuries of time for many aspects of life’s woes. From depression to warts, there is a plant that can take care of business.
Here we will discuss the top 5 herbs, focused on labor pain specifically since this is often the phase most women could use the relief in.
Like all advice about your pregnancy and birth, please consult your doctor or midwife before taking any herbs.
