Homeopathy and Pregnancy

Finding the perfect homeopathic match for your symptoms

Each homeopathic remedy is tested on healthy, human volunteers to see what symptoms it is capable of producing. Whatever symptoms it can produce it can also treat those same symptoms in someone who is unwell.
This is the basis for all homeopathic medicine. Like is cured by like. In fact the Greek word Homeo-pathy literally translated means ‘similar suffering’.
For over 200 years homeopaths have carefully collected huge banks of information about the symptoms homeopathically prepared substances can produce. They have also noted which remedies have successfully helped their clients in all sorts of different situations, including pregnancy.

How use the information in this book

The homeopathic remedies in your Deluxe Kit are known as polycrests. Polycrests are homeopathic remedies that are capable of beneficial effects in a wide range of situations. The following is a list of symptoms that the 36 homeopathic remedies in your Deluxe Kit can help you with during pregnancy.
You’ll notice that sometimes more than one possible remedy is listed for a particular complaint. To find out which one would work best for you, quickly scan read all the complaints to see if one particular remedy keeps coming up as a good match for what you are experiencing.
When you think you have found one, or perhaps two, that sound like they match your symptoms and how you are feeling, please read up about them in the Pregnancy Materia Medica section at the end of this list of symptoms. This will be a big help in confirming your choice. Choose the one that seems the most similar to you and your symptoms overall.

The advantage of using a Repertory Chart

https://www.homeopathyworld.com/repchart.pdf

A Repertory Chart is the easiest way for you to keep track of which remedies are likely to be helpful. Keep a downloaded PDF of it on the desktop of your computer so you can print one out whenever you need it. You write your symptoms on the left and tick off which of your 36 remedies are helpful for each symptom. Read up about the remedies that get the most ticks and see which one is the best fit for you in your Materia Medica.


Safety First

WARNING SIGNS DURING PREGNANCY

Trust your instincts and if you think something is seriously wrong seek trusted medical advice immediately.
Take your Deluxe Kit with you and try remedies on the way.

  • vaginal bleeding
  • abdominal pain
  • back pain at the waist (may be kidney related)
  • headaches, blurred vision, swollen hands or face, chest pain (may be pre-eclmpsia)
  • persistent contractions before week 37
  • significant changes in the amount of time your baby moves
  • any loss of amniotic fluid
  • unusual or inexplicable changes or symptoms
  • anxiety or depression

It is important to have a proper diagnosis and, if necessary, have your condition monitored. The additional information this provides will help in selecting the correct homeopathic remedies.

Anemia
Anemia is more common during pregnancy, so if you get dizziness and headaches, feel short of breath and look pale, you may have anemia. Good sources of iron include red meat, fish, leafy vegetables, nuts and beans. You could also try an easily absorbed iron supplement like Floridex. If in doubt get a blood test done.

Bleeding
Many women have spotting during pregnancy, but if the flow is heavier contact your medical provider. They will want to know what color the blood is, how much you are passing and whether you have any pains.

High blood sugar
May mean you have gestational diabetes. You can ask to have a glucose tolerance test if you are concerned about your sugar levels.

High fevers
Are often related to an infection and it is wise to let your medical provider know if you are experiencing intense fever.

Itching
Rashes are not usually a problem but if you are itching without any obvious eruption check in with your medical provider.

Pre-eclampsia
Is the name given to a set of symptoms after 20 weeks gestation. Namely high blood pressure, protein in the urine and sometimes, fluid retention.

Severe abdominal pain
Always seek medical attention immediately to rule out the possibility of ectopic pregnancy or threatened miscarriage.

Severe headaches
These may be a sign that your blood pressure is too high. it is important to have your blood pressure checked as high blood pressure is a symptom of pre-eclampsia.

Severe vomiting
Nausea and vomiting are not uncommon in pregnancy. One of the main risks of persistent vomiting (or sweating, diarrhea) is dehydration. Make sure you are drinking enough fluids to make up for what you lose. If you show on going signs of dehydration contact your medical provider.

Severe swelling
In the hands, feet and face may also be a sign of pre-eclampsia so seek advice from your medical provider.


WARNING SIGNS IN GENERAL

In the following situations seek expert medical help immediately:

  • backache, or fever, with urinary infection
  • bleeding, heavy or unexplained
  • breathing, rapid shallow or difficult
  • burns, severe or larger than your hand

WHAT YOU CAN TREAT AT HOME

Provided there are none of the warning signs mentioned above you can treat:

Minor injuries e.g. cuts, bites, stings, burns, bruises.

Acute illnesses.
The definition of an acute illness is one where you have:
A prodromal (warning) period where you just don't feel right and know that you are coming down with something, then intensified and clear symptoms develop. You recover within 7 days or you are so seriously ill you have to be hospitalized.
These stages take place over a matter of days.
Examples of acute illnesses are the common cold; coughs; flu; food poisoning; cystitis;
infectious childhood illnesses (mumps, measles, chicken pox etc).


WHEN TO GET PROFESSIONAL HELP

Never treat serious injuries or complaints without expert help.
Serious degenerative diseases; frequently recurring symptoms; skin symptoms (including warts); asthma; hay fever; persistent constipation or abdominal pain; ulcers; lumps and bumps (apart from bruises) all need constitutional treatment by a qualified homoeopath.

If acute illnesses recur frequently, this indicates you have an underlying susceptibility and you will benefit greatly from professional homeopathic constitutional treatment.

Your Deluxe Family Kit is loaded with great first aid remedies that you can safely use during your pregnancy without any side effects.


SUGGESTED FURTHER READING

Miranda Castro is the author of a really wonderful book called:
Homeopathy for Pregnancy, Birth and Your Baby's First Year
Published by St. Martin's Griffin; 2 edition (April 15, 1993) ISBN no 0312088094

Miranda’s Mother and Baby book is a treasure trove of practical, healing and homeopathic information for every parent. The layout is similar to Miranda’s earlier book "The Complete Homoeopathy Handbook" with separate sections for symptoms and medicines. It encourages a very individualized and accurate method of remedy selection and gives example cases. There are sections on preparing for life after birth; pregnancy; birth and the post-natal period. The latter has particularly helpful common sense advice with "dos and don’ts" for a wide-range of possible complaints.


I also highly recommend another Miranda best seller:
The Complete Homeopathy Handbook

GREAT EXPECTATIONS

Mary's personal story about the birth of her first child
Our first baby was to be born in London, at home in our bedroom, with a fire roaring in the grate. Lavender oil would burn soothingly in the background. There would be a constant supply of hot water for long luxurious en-suite baths. Homoeopathic remedies were all close at hand.
The bed was thrown out, in case anyone had the temerity to suggest that I lay down on it. This was to be an active birth. My head was full of well-rehearsed yoga positions and breathing, breathing, breathing.
Expecting, they say. She’s expecting. I was expecting...but, I wasn’t expecting to be ordered to hospital, to be sliding down the icy pathway in my dressing-gown and slippers, in the thickest pea-souper London had seen for decades, at five in the morning. To be sitting in the back of an ambulance, skidding hither and yon at ten miles an hour. To be taking great lung full of gas and air and to be, hush my mouth, enjoying it.
The Labor ward was on the thirteenth floor. The gas and air was working so well that I didn’t even fret about the tale I’d heard of the woman who got stuck between floors and was delivered by her husband’s best friend, whilst the husband ran about like a headless chicken trying to find them. Although I gave it a fleeting thought as the porter wheeled me out.
Seeing a mother holding her new-born to her breast, I pointed at her like a football hooligan, shouting, "I want one of them." High spirits. Perhaps because I wasn’t expecting that having already been in labor for two days that there were still another six head-banging hours to go. Coming up for the sixty hour mark, I asked if someone could get the ventouse (a suction pump to lure the baby’s head out). I had decided enough already with natural child-birth! There was a ventouse somewhere, but no-one was quite sure how to use it. They had forceps. At the sight of them, suddenly my resolve returned and I finally remembered my homeopathic remedies . I took one Pulsatilla 200c because I felt so weepy and helpless and one Arnica 200c to give me second wind and to everyone’s astonishment a child was born within two minutes.
Admittedly a blue one with a nasty-looking ridge in its forehead, who was immediately whisked off to be sorted out, but... A GIRL. She came back to me from the ministrations at the stainless steel table to lie on my belly. Pink now, but the photo opportunity passed us by. The camera poised for action, sat at home on the shelf. She was named Martha after an old Tim Buckley song that I love, about an old flame that rings up his, by now, married ex and tries to entice her out for coffee with him:

 

"Those were days of roses,
Of poetry and prose,
And Martha all I had was you,
And all you had was me.
There were no tomorrows,
We packed away our sorrows,
And we saved them for a rainy day."

Our days of roses had begun, Martha, although for a while I called you Marmoset, because it suited you better.

The delicious stew put into the oven, on low, with the first strong contractions, had now been cooking for a record three days and I was ready for it. The whole pot. I had missed lunch and turned my nose up at what passes for dinner in such institutions, because I had been expecting they would let me leave at any moment. Within the hour I would be up to my ears in that delicious gravy, mopping it up with chunks of crusty, old, reheated French stick.
I waited obediently for our permission to be excused. Permission denied. Surprise, surprise, I had a temperature. It might have been an infection or it might have been the fact that the place was heated to Finnish sauna level and that having run the equivalent of two full marathons, gynecologically speaking, I hadn’t had the strength to open the patient- proof windows. I pointed this out, but being on the verge of tears at the thought of my disintegrating stew, I sounded as weak as the proverbial kitten and did my case no good at all. I was to stay in, at least over-night.
I begged pathetically for food and they said, "Haven’t you just had dinner? ", but grudgingly rustled up two tiny packets of Special K low calorie breakfast cereal. It went against the grain to eat it. I munched glumly. All my life I had sought out maximum calorie content, for all I knew I might expend more calories chewing the stuff than I would actually gain.
Martha and I spent a fitful night in our own private oven. She in her little see-through plastic box, me precariously perched on my high narrow bed. Occasionally she would wake crying and I would put her tenderly to my breast, where she howled like a banshee. From nowhere, nurses sprang forth offering conflicting advice on how to "latch her on"; proffering bottles of formula; suggesting (horror of horrors) that they take her away to the nursery, so that I could get some well-deserved rest. I explained separation was not an option. We were an item.

At 6 am, just as deep sleep settled upon our weariness, we were woken by the breakfast trolley. Hunger wiped out irritation at the early morning call, but once breakfast had been devoured and temperatures checked, further sleep eluded us. Time crept along. Much later than expected our hero, Martha’s father, came to rescue us from the fog-bound tower, sheepishly carrying a white plastic laundry basket stuffed with a couple of old blankets.

"Sorry I’m late. Couldn’t find the Moses basket anywhere."
So pleased was I to see our means of escape that I didn’t even snap, but beatifically bestowed my sweetest Madonna (and child) smile. Surely Martha was just as keen as I was to get home. We would both me more relaxed and then the feeding would just...happen. Cut to the living- room. A fire burns brightly in the grate. A mother rocks determinedly back and forth in her nursing chair, a thoughtful gift from her mother-in-law. As she rocks she weeps. From a far- flung corner of the house her daughter weeps too.
This feeding business. This basic, rudimentary feeding business had not just...happened. Martha had only to smell me and she screamed blue murder. When I put her to my breast she notched the volume up to double blue murder. When her Dad took her on endless circuits of her new home the wailing reduced to an almost tolerable level, at least from where I was sitting it did.

We endured this for three days.
I narrowly avoided mastitis with a timely dose of Bryonia and then "the milk came in" and saved our collective sanity. From that day forth Martha became a prodigious guzzler, the star turn of our breast-feeding support group. It was easy ... no muss, no fuss, if she showed the slightest sign of discontent, I stuck her up my jumper.Some visitors were surprised by the choice of name. "You don’t hear that very often these days," they said, then fearing I might take it amiss, added" Lovely old-fashioned name." One said, "Mary and Martha ... the two sisters who cared for Jesus. How biblical. I didn’t think you were particularly religious."
It came to me from the mists of time that Mary was Mary Magdalene, whose poor sister Martha did all the cooking and cleaning only to be told (rather unfairly, I always felt) that she had her priorities askew. Sure enough when I checked it out in that (never once consulted) Book of Names I found to my consternation that Martha was indeed the patron saint of housewives. I comforted myself with the thought if ever a housewife needed divine intervention, ‘twas I.

The truly divine interventions of my earlier story “Great Expectations” of course, were those of the remedies. I designed my Childbirth kit to try to encourage more women to turn to homoeopathy to ease the often challenging passage of new lives into this world. I squeezed the most vital information into an easy to follow leaflet and stuck it in a box.


HOMEOPATHY'S ROLE IN PREGNANCY AND CHILDBIRTH

Constitutional treatment during pregnancy is of enormous benefit to both mother and belly- dweller. Having homeopathic childbirth remedies with you during and after labor is a wonderful way to be prepared to meet both your needs and your baby’s.

For the upcoming birth of your baby having yourChildbirth kit means you will have the main remedies you’ll need close to hand. Buy it at least four weeks before the due date to give you time to study the leaflet, ahead of the birth.

Your Childbirth Kit

BIRTHING ADVICE IN A NUTSHELL

Before the birth:
Practice breathing (claimed by many to be the most effective method of pain relief); relaxation; visualization; talking to the baby; birth positions; stretching; pelvic floor exercises. Attend a yoga class which puts emphasis on birth or buy The Active Birth Book by Janet Balaskas. Attend ante-natal classes together with your birth assistant. In late pregnancy (but not before the sixth month) try drinking raspberry leaf tea, which reputedly tones up the uterine muscles. Prepare a birth plan and write down any particular wishes you have for the birth, you can discuss this with anyone who will be attending the birth, but do so before labor starts, if at all possible.

First stage:
Characterized by low adrenalin. A time of waiting whilst the body does the work of opening up. Offer minimum resistance. Don’t make predictions about how far along you are or how long it will take to become fully dilated. Shut out your rational mind. Breathe in as the contraction comes and out during. Ask your birth assistant to remind you if they notice you are forgetting to breathe or holding your breath because of the pain. It may help if they breathe with you. Use a clock with a second hand to time the average length of particularly painful contractions; just knowing how long they will last helps you to pace yourself and to remember that they won't last forever! Stay upright whenever possible. Keep moving. Minimum distractions and interruptions. Maximum comfort, support, encouragement and reassurance. Sip watered down fruit juice between contractions to keep energy and blood sugar levels up. Remember to take Bach Flower Rescue Remedy in water.

Transition:
Point where your cervix is fully dilated and nature of contractions begin to change to those which will push baby out. Potentially the most difficult time because of these conflicting messages. Many feel the need for pain relief at this time. Attendants should reassure; suggest a visit to the toilet (for a change of scene); help with breathing; encourage mother to visualize baby and talk to it. Remember Rescue Remedy.

Second stage:
Characterized by high adrenalin as mother takes a more active role. The pushing will just happen. If for any reason labor seems too fast, get down on all fours with bottom high as possible, head low; panting also helps slow things down. If contractions have many peaks divide your out breath; as if blowing out separate candles.

Third stage:
Particularly in hospital, Syntometrine is routinely injected into the mother to speed up the delivery of the placenta and Vitamin K is given to the baby. If you decide against either or both it is easiest to put it into a written birth plan. It is not unusual for contractions to stop for a while before pushing the placenta out naturally.

Medical Interventions:
Before the birth become as well-informed as possible about the pros and cons. For your own peace of mind, if for any reason intervention is suggested, rather than requested by you, ask for:

A clear explanation of the problem
Information about any possible alternatives.
A time limit on your decision that will not endanger either the baby or you.


BREAST FEEDING AND HOMEOPATHY

Safe, natural, effective medicine for when things go wrong.
Here is what www.kellymom.com had to say about breastfeeding and homeopathy:
"Homeopathic remedies are reportedly very safe for nursing moms and babies because the remedies (by definition of homeopathy) contain only very dilute versions of the active substances. Many lactation consultants have used or recommended homeopathic remedies to their clients".

Mary says:
“Shortly after I gave birth to my first child over 18 years ago, I had a terrible attack of mastitis, which made breast-feeding excruciatingly painful for me. Luckily before the birth, I had studied Homeopathy and I took just one dose of Bryonia (made from a very diluted tincture of white hops) and the pain and swelling disappeared completely and normal service could be resumed without wincing.

At this stage in my life I have lost count of the number of times I (and my family) have had reason to be extremely grateful to Homeopathy. Here are some recommendations to help keep things flowing so that both mother and baby enjoy breast-feeding at its best.”

Mastitis
If your breast is hard, swollen, hot, red and throbbing and you feel feverish try Belladonna 30c. If it is hard, swollen and hot, but pale in color, rather than red and you cannot bear the slightest movement of the breast take Bryonia 30c.
If the pains radiate out from the nipple, Phytolacca 30c or 200c (in our Childbirth Kit).

Breast Abscesses
If there is smelly, burning pus take Merc viv 30c. If there is pus, the area is very painful and the mother feels chilly, Hepar sulph 30c will help. If the abscess has pus that is not smelly and strangely painless, but slow to heal, take Silica 30c.

Milk Production
If you are over-producing take one Pulsatilla 30c. If you are under-producing take Dulcamara 30c. If you are swinging between the two extremes take Urtica urens 30c.

Cracked Nipples
If you have a lot of soreness with pains radiating out from the nipple, take Phytolacca 30c or Phytolacca 200c (in our Childbirth Kit).

Vomiting breast milk
If a baby tends to vomit after feeding, the mother can try one dose of Silica 30c. It will go through her milk to the baby.

BIRTH REVISITED

Mary's personal story about the birth of her second child, in a water pool at home.
Our son Gabriel Luke was born at 11.14pm on Saturday 30th January 1999 at our home in West Cork, Ireland. He was delivered in a birthing pool after a fast and feral labor, most of which I spent howling at the (full) moon.
Whereas our daughter, Martha, took three days to labor into this world Gabriel came in only three hours. I knew at about 3:30pm that things were moving, although I had no pain, just regular tightening sensations. I drove into town to get some shopping and met a friend in a cafe for a cup of tea. I was feeling great and planned to take a long walk on the beach in the twilight with my daughter and her friend, but the heavens opened so we got some videos and headed homeward. I cooked up a huge pot of thick minestrone soup and lit some candles. We all had supper and then Martha (who was then seven) went to stay with our next-door neighbor’s home. She had looked at some birthing pictures and (despite her initial enthusiasm) had decided it was not, after all, for her.

The mild contractions were now coming every five minutes or so lasting up to a minute. We rang the midwife to put her on standby that we might need her as she lived one hour’s drive from us. Next we started filling the pool and then settled down to watch a movie. I assumed I was in for the long haul, but only five minutes into the film I got the first big contraction, swiftly followed by another. We told the midwife to come and my husband, began heating up enormous pans of water and kettles... as if we were in some old black and white melodrama.

Pools are great, but the average domestic water heating system takes two hours to fill one. To make matters more complicated our stove and the pool were a flight of stairs apart, so there was a lot of to-ing and fro-ing with steaming cauldrons.
During each contraction (every three or four minutes) I needed my husband to put very firm pressure on my back. He somehow managed to be in two places at once. Since nearly all the pain was in my lower back I was wondering if the baby might be in a posterior presentation. These labors tend to be long and grim. I took Kali carb 200c from my Childbirth kit. The contractions were by now thick and fast and painful, so although the pool was only half full I got in and went on all fours to try to relieve the pressure on my back. Around this time I switched from breathing through contractions to screaming through them. It felt like the only thing to do. In between I came back to focusing on my breath.
Our midwife, Elke arrived at about 10pm. She walked in on one of my banshee wails and said later she thought to herself: "That sounds good". She took over back pressing duty so my husband was able to top up the pool with the various pans and kettles. Between contractions I was able to stand up briefly so Elke could check the baby’s heart once with a sonic aid monitor. It was hale and hearty. The contractions were growing closer and closer together so my breathing time was shorter and shorter. I felt everything was going too fast. It was something I had not prepared for. I took Aconite 200 to ease my rising sense of panic.

I had a list of acupuncture points for speeding up a stalled labor from Steve Gascoigne, a doctor and acupuncturist who had been treating me in the run up to the birth. I got my husband to ring Steve and ask if there was any way to slow it down. Steve asked "Why would you want to do that?" I answered "GRRRRRR" and thought uncharitable thoughts about the opposite sex. "You could go to hospital; that would definitely slow it down..."
Once or twice whilst this was going on I felt a fleeting urge to push, but just dismissed it. It just couldn’t be that time already, but the desperation and the out of control feeling was, in fact, transition. I felt the need to take a Pulsatilla, which seemed to help and in no time at all I was pushing.
My waters broke and unlike last time (when they were artificially ruptured) the water was clear and meconium-free. I noticed the water level had gone up in the pool, but it wasn’t until Elke said: "Use him" that I even realized that my husband had climbed into the pool with me. I hung on to his neck and the change of position and his calmness and strength helped me to bear down. Very quickly I could feel the head in the birth canal and put my hand down to help me gauge how hard to push. The water was great for giving a greater sense of control, as the force of gravity was so much reduced. Within ten minutes I was able to push just enough to deliver the head and next push launched baby into the water into the waiting arms of Elke who checked him over and swiftly passed my darling to me.
We both just stared in wonder at the wide-eyed beauty before us. For a while I didn’t even think to check whether it was "a boy or a girl". It just was. I held the baby to my breast, but having just had three huge bowlfuls of minestrone in utero he wasn’t remotely hungry and was more interested in looking around him. Once the cord had stopped pulsing Elke clamped the cord and my husband cut it.
All too soon the third stage started and I passed our boy to his papa and got back on all fours to deliver the placenta. After that I was feeling a bit chilly and I wanted to get out of the pool.

Getting out was a real revelation of what the pool had been doing for me. As I stood the force of gravity almost pushed me back down. I felt weak and unsteady. Elke helped me out very gently. Our boy was still enjoying floating around on the palm of his papa’s hand. I put on a nice thick toweling robe and sat down on the bed and looked forward to being able to spend a bit of time with our son.
I had forgotten that there might be after-pains. I was stunned by the force of them. They felt exactly like the first hour’s contractions and once again I needed very firm pressure on my back. All the pain was in my lower back. I had to focus hard on my breath to stop myself from screaming. I took some Kali carb 200 and that worked beautifully. I had a shower aiming a very hot jet at my lower back and started to feel human again. So by 3am the placenta and my blood pressure had been checked and we said farewell to Elke. The three of us snuggled into bed together and slept for an unbroken, blissful four hours. Martha came over next morning to see her baby brother for the first time. She was a little underwhelmed when she realized he only had two modes: suck or sleep, but she got the hang of just gazing at him, as did we all.

Homeopathy helped relieve my morning sickness and supported me during and after the birth of our first child. It was astonishing how safely and effectively it worked. I was left wondering, why isn’t everyone using homeopathic remedies? At that time, the truth about Homeopathy wasn’t widely known and most people just hadn’t experienced its gentle power first hand.

That’s what inspired me to design my own user-friendly Homeopathy kits.
Our family was raised homeopathically. Our daughter, Martha, is almost 20. She has never had any allopathic drugs or treatments and neither has Gabriel, our 12 year old son, apart from an operation to repair a congenital heart problem when he was one year old. So we know a Pharma free life can be an everyday reality. If you want a Pharma free life to be a reality for you and your family, get one of my kits and try Homeopathy for yourselves.

YOUR CHILDREN
From The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran.

Your children are not your children.

They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,

And though they are with you yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love but not your thoughts,
For they have their own thoughts.

You may house their bodies but not their souls,
For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.

You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.
