Best Essential Oils for Pregnancy

By Stephanie Fritz | August 4, 2022 |

I’m often asked which oils are the best to have on hand for pregnancy, so I am listing my two favorite kits, AND you get a free enrollment with both kits (a $35 value). These oils are my essential go-to when you are pregnant or about to welcome a new baby.

The AromaTouch Kit

The AromaTouch Kit is the perfect kit when you are focusing on Birth, Baby & Postpartum Essentials $246.5 USD (15mL bottles)

This kit also includes online training for the AromaTouch Technique. I personally use this technique and recommend it as your first go for immune support.

I have added some extra essentials to make your life easier using essential oils. Feel free to delete these items, but I promise you will order them anyway. I added stickers for the top of your oil bottles for easy organization, a pump for your FCO for easier use, and 10mL roller bottles to make your own blends.

BALANCE is a fantastic oil to apply to a baby’s feet to align and ground your baby to life outside of the womb. It helps to balance babe to his new surroundings. It is also fabulous to diffuse with Wild Orange in labor to help calm and keep you focused on your perfect birth.

LAVENDER is amazing to apply to baby’s feet with fractionated coconut oil, especially when babies sometimes have their nights and days mixed up. It is also great for a relaxing bath for both mom and babe.

TEA TREE is perfect for occasional dry skin that you may find on a baby’s head. A drop of Tea Tree with 2 tablespoons of fractionated coconut oil gently rubbed in the baby’s hair will help calm and support a healthy scalp.

ONGUARD is a great oil to diffuse all the time, especially for winter babies, to support the whole family’s immune system as well as any visitors you may have.

DEEP BLUE is super supportive for low back discomfort in both pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I like to layer Deep Blue and Aroma Touch.

AROMA TOUCH is fantastic for occasional leg cramps in pregnancy as well as for supporting low-lying ligaments and the sciatic nerve. Also amazing for restless legs and growing discomforts.

WILD ORANGE is fabulous to diffuse, especially on postpartum day four. It’s super easy to feel overwhelmed. Wild Orange’s happiness comes to the rescue on day four…trust me on this.

PEPPERMINT: A drop or two in the diffuser is a great pick-me-up when you feel like you’ve been up all night and just want to go back to bed at noon.

FRACTIONATED COCONUT OIL is my favorite carrier oil because with any oils and a brand-new baby, you will want to dilute.

Healthy Start Kit

My second favorite pregnancy, birth, and baby kit is the Healthy Start Kit: (5 mL bottles) This kit has a bonus Pebble™ Diffuser with it. This ultrasonic diffuser provides several incredible features, including a five-hour continuous runtime, a ten-hour intermittent runtime, and multiple light settings. Diffusing is one of my favorite ways to use essential oils both at home and at your birth. This kit is the perfect kit when you are focusing on Birth, Baby & Postpartum Essentials.

LAVENDER is amazing to apply to baby’s feet with fractionated coconut oil, especially when babies sometimes have their nights and days mixed up. Great for a relaxing bath for both mom and babe.

LEMON boosts your immune system by raising your pH levels. Your liver is doing a little happy dance when you put a drop or two in your water every day because it makes its job so much easier. Lemon is the perfect maintenance detox for your body, especially in pregnancy, because it is gentle, but it offers so much.

PEPPERMINT: A drop or two in the diffuser is a great pick-me-up when you feel like you’ve been up all night and just want to go back to bed at noon.

OREGANO is what I recommend in pregnancy when it’s time to bring out the big guns, and in those times, you will be SO glad you have it. Reach for Oregano when you need to kick your immune system into high gear and clean surfaces in that “nesting” phase when you’re trying to wipe away all the germs and getting ready to welcome a new baby.

FRANKINCENSE is a powerhouse oil that EVERYONE should have! It provides massive cellular support to your major body systems. It’s also the first oil I use on all the babies I personally welcome to earth. Frankincense is perfect to put a drop in your palm with fractionated coconut oil and gently cover the head of your newborn babe. This is not only emotionally calming for your baby, as the birthing process is a bit traumatic for them too, but it also supports every single cell in your baby’s body and assists with bonding.

DEEP BLUE is super supportive for low back discomfort in both pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. I like to layer Deep Blue and Aroma Touch.

BREATHE is perfect for the times in pregnancy when you experience normal or occasional pregnancy congestion. Breathe is the go-to oil for all things respiratory. Stuffy noses don’t stand a chance against this powerful oil.

ONGUARD is a great oil to diffuse all the time, especially for winter babies, to support the whole family’s immune system as well as any visitors you may have. Also great for cleaning surfaces when you’re trying to wipe away all the germs away getting ready to welcome a new baby.

DIGESTZEN is the best thing out there for ALL digestive discomforts in pregnancy. It will help with any stomach discomforts for both you in pregnancy and your baby. Seriously…it’s like Magic!!

The Healthy Start Kit is $160 USD. I have added some extra essentials to make your life easier using essential oils. Feel free to delete these items, but I promise you will order them anyway. I added stickers for the top of your oil bottles for easy organization, a bottle of fractionated coconut oil, a pump for your fractionated coconut oil for easier use, and 10mL roller bottles to make your own blends.
