We're planning a homebirth with a midwife for Sprout's birth in April. I'm excited about giving birth and that feels good to be able to say. I've planned and planned and planned so I have a fabulous midwife and an amazing doula lined up to support me during labor. I really think it will be the most amazing experience of my life.

While I've planned for the actual event of giving birth, I hadn't thought too much about after the birth and the healing and comfort I might need. I've known of Motherlove Herbal Company because of their nipple creams but had no idea they also carried an amazing postpartum sitz bath.

"Motherlove's sitz bath combination in a liquid concentrate! An essential item to have on hand after labor and child birth, this combination of herbs soothes sore perineal muscles, reduces swelling, slows bleeding, and helps ease the discomfort of hemorrhoids. Made with 100% certified organic ingredients." -www.motherlove.com


My midwife will bring an inflatable birth tub to our home to use during labor. My plan is then to use my own bathtub after the birth to take an herbal sitz bath. After all the hard work my body will have done, it certainly deserves a little pampering and relaxation with my sweet baby in my arms. 




Now in the days after the birth I'm not envisioning having enough time to sit and soak in the tub but I know I'll still need some relief. That is when Motherlove sitz bath spray will come in handy. This little spray bottle has all the power of the sitz bath in a spray bottle that is easy to spray on sore muscles and skin for soothing relief.
