A Royal College of Obstetricians & Gynaecologists (RCOG) survey of over 2,300 women found that over two-thirds of women experienced low moods and around half experienced anxiety during pregnancy and within the first year after childbirth.

Essential Oils
Essential oils are one of my favourite sensory tools; they can be used in diffusers, used in bath or beauty products and even inhaled direct from the bottle.

Becoming a new mother is one of the most exciting times in a
