| Dear Vanessa
Certainly a homoeopathic approach to pregnancy and childbirth can have a very positive effect on both mum and baby. I would recommend you start with the pregnancy programme. This programme consists of five of the twelve bio-chemic cell salts in combinations designed to provide both mother and developing baby with essential elements of nutrition throughout all the stages of pregnancy. The minerals are specially prepared in the 6x potency, according to the method devised by Dr. Schuessler, to ensure ease of assimilation. One dissolvable tablet is taken two times daily under the tongue. There are four sets of combinations each of which is taken for one month so that in the 5th month you take the 1st set again. The programme should be started at the beginning of the 2nd month of pregnancy when the embryo is four weeks old. The cell salts used are combinations of calcium fluoride, silica, magnesium phos, ferrum phos, and natrum mur which have been prepared in the usual homoeopathic way. These essential nutritional cell salts go a long way towards ensuring the health and development of both mother and baby during the pregnancy and beyond.
There are a number of homoeopathic remedies that may be useful during labour. Arnica is well known and helps reduce bruising to mum and baby during delivery. If you get a bit anxious Gelsemium is often indicated. If you get terrified then Aconite would help bring calm to you once again. If you get snappy and irritable with those around you then a dose of Chamomile will bring you back to a cheery disposition. Caullophyllum has often helped kick start those mothers to be that just can’t get going or who are overdue. Once baby is born to help you recover quickly there are a number of remedies that could be used depending on the situation. If you pop into the Homoeopathic Centre in Lindfield I would be happy to discuss this further and may even be able to help get rid of your morning sickness.
Best of Health
