Here is some info that Carol (earths living clay) just sent me.

PREGNANCY AND CALCIUM BENTONITE CLAY


If the child is badly situated, do not hesitate to apply clay poultices on the belly. For the sake of prudence, it is preferable to apply it systematically during the last month of pregnancy. Also place tepid clay poultices on the lumbar region if pain appears.

Cold poultices applied on the stomach just after the childbirth will prevent all subsequent troubles (principally, the risk of infection) and is the best remedy for the imperfect elimination of the afterbirth.
Place hydrated clay on nipples for a few minutes daily to stimulate milk glands.

ADDITIONAL CLAY TIPS:
Diaper Rash: Sprinkle a combination of calcium bentonite clay mixed with equal parts arrowroot and cornstarch on the baby's bottom. No chemicals and this combination works wonderful. If any rash is present apply hydrated Calcium Bentonite Clay. Once rash subsides begin use of the clay powder to avoid a rash in the future.

For vaginal infections or after completion of the menstrual cycle with clay water (4 Tbs. clay to 2 quarts water). This is also very effective to eliminate a Yeast Infection.
