Stumble It!
Post partum recovery can really take a toll on some very specific parts of your body. Take it from me, as the imminent arrival date of my second child drew near I wanted to be as prepared for those post birth pains as I possibly could.
The discomfort I’m talking about hails from the nether regions… specifically your rectum and “birth canal” as the vagina so becomes known during pregnancy.
Prenatal and postpartum hemorrhoids, vaginal swelling, bruising, and episiotomies can create some serious anxiety about your next bowl or urinary movement. So when I discovered Earth Mama Bottom Balm, I packed a jar in my hospital bag and thanked the creators for this wondrous innovation.
Earth Mama Bottom Balm soothes and cools with an organic olive oil base infused with healing organic herbs - St. Johns wort, yarrow, witch hazel, calendula, shea butter, and more. From front to back you’ll feel the cooling effect of this powerful healing potion immediately.
The packaging asks you to store it in the fridge, but who seriously has the time to dash from the kitchen to the bathroom home alone with a new born? I keep mine right next to the toilet and I suggest you do to! Although my OB permitted me to apply the balm hours after giving birth vaginally you should ask your OB how soon they will allow you to use it.
You can pick up a jar at Whole Foods or online at Earth Mama Angel Baby.
