Pregnancy & Childbirth

Homeopathy can help raise the level of health before conception and can support a woman during all stages of pregnancy without the worry of harmful side effects.  It is ideal for treating problems such as morning sickness, constipation, back ache, breast tenderness and itching skin. For some women pregnancy can be an anxious or worrying time and homeopathic treatment can be effective in addressing underlying fears to restore a sense of well being and equilibrium. 

In the later stages it can support the woman during labour and is an empowering option for the management of pain.  It may also be effective in helping a number of possible problems that can occur such as slow dilation of the cervix, exhaustion, excessive bleeding and retained placenta. 

Each woman's labour and birth is experienced differently.  The way in which a particular symptom is expressed is key to selecting the right remedy.  For example a woman needing Pulsatilla in labour may have contractions that are weak and irregular, is needy, weepy and wants to give up, whereas a woman who is angry, difficult to please and intolerant of pain may need Chamomilla. 

Pre-natal Consultations are available for you and your partner to learn about the main remedies needed during the three stages of labour and birth and how to recognise their key symptoms.    The consultation includes a tailor-made remedy kit containing the remedies most frequently needed for labour, birth and the post-natal stage, when symptoms such as mastitis, tiredness and the baby blues can occur.

Childbirth remedy kits are available to buy either separately or in conjunction with a prenatal consultation.  Mother and baby consultations offer a lower cost rate for treatment and support in the first year.  Click here for consultation details and here if you would like more information on remedy kits.
