Understanding the different changes and possible ailments that may happen to your “bits” during your pregnancy, your birth and your recovery will help you feel informed and able to distinguish what is ‘normal’ and when you may need to seek advice from a health professional. Top tip: Promote circulation by raising your feet above the level of your heart - you can rest them on the wall. Place a pillow under your right hip to tilt you slightly left (prevents you from feeling dizzy and ensures good circulation to the placenta is maintained). After about 5 minutes, lower your legs onto the bed/couch and turn on your left side for a few minutes before sitting up. Also, follow the top tip for piles. Perfect to use as part of your postpartum recovery plan, specially used alongside the award winning My Expert Midwife Spritz for Bits Discharge -is mostly a healthy symptom and helps ‘wash’ harmful bacteria out of the vagina.

It contains a blend of natural essential oils that help relieve pain caused by stretching during childbirth.

Top tip: Go to the toilet as soon as you get the urge and empty your bladder fully. If you don’t get the urge until it’s almost too late, put an alarm on your phone and sit on the toilet every 1-2 hours to ‘retrain’ your bladder. Essential oils can work when applied topically onto the skin, or by inhalation to influence behaviours and emotions.

Bleeding– can have a variety of causes and may be nothing to worry about. ‘Spotting’ during the first trimester can be quite common and some bleeding can still happen after 12 weeks of pregnancy. Sometimes there is no obvious reason for this, but causes could include: ectropion, infection, having the ‘show’, placenta praevia, early labour or placental abruption.

Apart from regular paracetamol and keeping the area clean, midwives often recommend a soak in a warm bath infused with lavender essential oil as it is known for its soothing, healing and relaxing properties. The problem is that oil and water don’t mix well, which means that the essential oils won’t necessarily reach the parts they need to when taking a bath. Some midwives also recommended putting witch hazel onto a maternity pad to ease swelling and discomfort, but women are often unsure as to the quantity to use. UTIs– are infections of the urinary system, most commonly affecting the bladder (cystitis). They are more common in pregnancy and, if left untreated, could rapidly travel to your kidneys and cause complications to your pregnancy, including preterm labour. FEATURES ESSENTIAL OILS: Tea Tree and calendulaare are anti-inflammatory, soothing, anti-fungal and anti-bacterial, supporting the body’s healing process after childbirth. Arnica has long been associated with healing properties including bruising, muscle aches, wounds, and swelling. Bergamot is mood boosting with mildly sedating effects, helping you relax and feel like you again.
