Motherhood can be challenging. From the early days of trying to conceive, to the nine months of carrying a growing baby in the womb followed by the sleepless nights of those first few months with your newborn, and into the crazy toddler years, most mothers need all the support they can get.
Thankfully, there are several gemstones that have been used for centuries to support women on this journey. There are stones known to support fertility by balancing the hormones, stones to support the physical demands of childbirth as well as provide the calming energy that is beneficial for ALL stages of motherhood!
Here are our top gemstones for pregnancy and motherhood:
Moonstone is known as the “goddess stone” and the stone of fertility. It is said to stimulate the pineal gland. As a natural hormone regulator, it is a must-have stone for all women. Fertility is achieved through balanced hormones, increasing the odds of conceiving naturally. Moonstone can help with morning sickness and fatigue during pregnancy. It has a soothing energy, easing fear, tension and stress, making it perfect for impending mothers. During labour, it is believed to help aid contractions. After birth, it is known as a supportive stone for healthy lactation. Moonstone helps with the return to balance post-pregnancy. Known to promote harmony in relationships, moonstone can also provide support in your marriage or partnership. What is not to love about this stone?!
