How I Survived Morning Sickness Using The Earth Mama Organics Pregnancy Essentials Bundle

 

 

Finding out you’re pregnant is a wild and exciting time. Even before you get that big fat positive test result, you may start feeling a bit off and not yourself and that’s because you’re not your old self…you are getting ready to be a mom.

Ok, well let’s be honest. The first couple of months into the pregnancy can be tough. It surely has been for me. With my first pregnancy, I was sick for a total of 3 days. Yes, I was lucky. For the majority of the pregnancy before I started feeling my son moving, I was seriously wondering if I was truly pregnant. Don’t get me wrong, nothing abnormal was occurring, but I was expecting to feel more “pregnant” than I was.

With this pregnancy, I wasn’t so lucky. I’ve never been sicker for such an extended period of time in my entire 36 years of life. I was the poster child for the saying “I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired!”. I was constantly nauseous and sensitive to just about every smell around. I literally locked myself in my bedroom with the windows wide open to avoid smelling what the rest of my family members were eating in other parts of the house.

This scent sensitivity also applied to the skincare and beauty products that I normally loved. Leaving me seriously frustrated a lot of the time.

I was so happy when I found out the Earth Mama Organics line of products for moms and babies. I initially came across the brand before I was pregnant while walking around my local health store. I spoke about that entire story in my post 3 Natural Morning Sickness Solutions (Tested By Me) . 

The Earth Mama Organics brand is a line of products made by Melinda Olson, a nurse and herbalist committed to providing moms with natural and organic remedies. Earth Mama Organics was created with the mission of formulating herbal alternatives that showcase the healing power of nature. All of the products are safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women along with babies of all ages. In addition, most (if not all) of the skincare products are rated a ONE from the Environmental Working Group, meaning they are proven to include clean ingredients with the lowest hazard that a product can have. The products are also free of phthalates, another questionable ingredient that I try to stay away from.

The super convenient Pregnancy Essentials Bundle is perfect for expecting moms. It has a variety of products that are perfect for the particularly trying first trimester of pregnancy due to the smell and food aversions. The products of this bundle are made with natural ingredients proven to be mild and less irritating to the senses such as orange and ginger.

 

The Pregnancy Essentials Bundle includes:

Organic Morning Wellness Tea 

 

This tea blend formulated for wellness, (not sickness), is made with ginger root, lemon balm, orange peels, chamomile, and spearmint. This tea is soothing to the stomach while not being a nuisance to the senses of expecting women. This blend is certified organic and easily accessible as it can be found in many pharmacies, and health food stores. I loved the smell of the tea and will continue to use it after my pregnancy as I’ve been a huge tea drinker for wellness. After having my morning cup, I was able to go several hours Click HERE to check the tea blend out for yourself.

 

Natural Stretch Oil

When I was first pregnant over 7 years ago, I was able to get through the entire journey with a total of 3 small stretch marks that came towards the end. With age and a couple of extra pounds going into this pregnancy, I’m afraid my skin might not be so forgiving. This natural oil blend smells and goes on smooth. In addition, it has Borage Oil which has been known to have anti-inflammatory properties helping to aid in skin elasticity. I’ve been using this oil since I saw my positive pregnancy test and plan to continue past labor to help my skin stretch and stay supple.

 

Morning Wellness Spray

When I received the bundle and noticed the Morning Wellness Spray, I thought I would only use it a couple of times because I don’t usually use sprays of any kind. However, having this spray was incredibly helpful for combating the otherwise only mildly offensive smells that I came across on a regular basis. I used it one particularly challenging afternoon when my family members ordered garlic knots causing me to lock myself in the bedroom spritzing this in the air and on the linens. The ginger and citrus blend is light and refreshing.

 

Happy Mama Body Wash & Earth Mama Body Butter & Lip Balm 

Other than physical changes with my body, I noticed my skin becoming incredibly dry and sensitive. It was so bad that I couldn’t use some of the products I had previously come to love. In addition, my commitment to natural and (preferably organic) skincare products narrowed my choices. So, I was happy to come across the Happy Mama Body Wash, Earth Mama Body Butter, and Mint Lip Balm. All of these products are formulated for a mom-to-be with non-offensive scents and ingredients, but can easily be used by anyone.

This bundle is perfect for any sensitive or ingredient conscious mama. It also conveniently includes a tote bag to keep all the items together and at arm reach. I plan to continue use some of the products past my pregnancy and recommend it as a great gift for a mom-to-be. Check out the entire bundle HERE.
