Your paramount responsibility in the early stages of active labor is to relax so you can let your body do what it needs to do: your uterus to contract; your pelvic bones to spread; your ligaments to loosen and stretch; your cervix to open. Sounds like words you'd hear in a yoga class, doesn't it?

While the sensations may feel new and scary, they're normal physiologial processes that do their best when you're relaxed and letting them happen!

Ask your midwife, doula or partner to be ready to gently massage Relax With Me Whipped Massage Gel over your belly, back and feet in between contractions. Relax With Me is derived from all-natural ingredients and infused with lavender oil, a time-honored calming and soothing agent for laboring women. 8 oz.
