broken image

The first trimester of pregnancy starts an amazing transformation of your body. Your body will experience many new, exciting, and sometimes overwhelming changes. The most common changes in the first trimester are not the changing of the shape of your stomach, but smaller, sometimes invisible changes.

Tender, sore breasts are among the first changes that you will notice. Lavender, geranium, grapefruit, and Ylang Ylang may be applied topically for a soothing sensation.

You may notice that you need to elevate your legs more often. Use the following essential oils to help alleviate discomfort or occasional swelling:

• CYPRESS

• GINGER

• LEMON

• AROMATOUCH BLEND

Along with occasional muscle soreness, your muscles may cramp. Applying essential oils topically and massaging them with Fractionated Coconut Oil into affected area can alleviate cramping and discomfort:

• LAVENDER

• MARJORAM

• ICE BLEND BLEND

• AROMATOUCH BLEND

Occasional indigestion, gas, and bloating can be relieved by using:

• GINGER

• CARDAMOM

• PEPPERMINT

• DIGESTZEN BLEND

Feeling fatigued and feeling a lack of motivation can make an appearance early in your pregnancy. Diffusing or using these essential oils topically are beneficial to help you feel invigorated:

• CYPRESS

• GRAPEFRUIT

• LEMON

• PEPPERMINT

• WILD ORANGE

• CITRUS BLISS BLEND

• ELEVATION BLEND
