Questions regarding pregnancy labor

Posted By Ismat (Mombasa, Kenya) on 06/08/2011

Hello, I am Ismat . I would like to know from earth clinic if oil pulling is safe during pregnancy. I am about 12wks on. And are there remedies for relief of labour pains. Ingested or applied for quicker and less painful labours?

Hello, I am 29 weeks pregnant with my second child and during my healing after I had my first I went on a search for natural remedies and found this site, anyway, I was going to do oil pulling but I was still breastfeeding and read that it is NOT safe to do while breastfeeding, I wouldn't do it personally, it can cause some pains to occur and I don't think its safe during prenancy. What did you want to do the oil pulling for exactly? You can email me if you want, there are things you can do during labor to help deal with the pain if a natual childbirth is your goal, I am using a midwife and planning on using a birthing tub for pain and I would recommend that, being in warmth and having someone massage your back while your laboring.
