Question from LV

HI-

I am planning a home birth in January and one of the items in my birthing kit is sterile lubricating jelly. The problem is all the MEDICAL sterile jellys I find all have parabens and are most likely petroleum based.

Any one have any suggestions maybe midwives or medical experts out there know safer alternatives? Midwife says it needs to be sterile.

I’ve been staying away from all chemicals and would hate to have to use these during the birth.

thanks in advance for your suggestions.
