Mums and Bubs

Having children and becoming parents is a major event for most people and it profoundly affects lives and people. New parents have to cope with the demands of pregnancy, childbirth and parenting as well as dealing with their changing relationship.

Feeling and watching your baby grow can ignite new forms of thought, causing you to make healthier and better decisions about your life and all it contains. It is helpful to know that there are many ways in which you can choose to care for your family and important to understand your options.

Conception and Fertility

Pre conceptual care is believed to give your baby the best chance at a healthy life. It is about ‘conceiving consciously’ and laying the foundations for a wonderfully healthy pregnancy and positive preparation for giving birth.

From balancing out menstrual and hormonal cycles in the mother to unravelling allergies and headaches in the father makes for healthier parents prior to conception. Emotional and lifestyle issues are also addressed not only to overcome infertility hurdles but also to ensure that a healthy pregnancy, complication-free birth and smooth transition into motherhood is achieved.

Homeopathic treatment improves your overall general health and energy and enhances your fertility by working on the function and balance of your reproductive system.

It is a fascinating fact that homeopathic prescriptions take into consideration the health of the parents at the time of conception.

Pregnancy

For most women, pregnancy is a wonderful time of discovery and growth, as well as a mixture of anticipation and excitement, not only for the of the impending birth, but of the future as a mother and father.

Pregnancy is not an illness, of course, however, there are sometimes discomforts and imbalances that occur that can cause discomfort and decrease morales.
Many of these difficulties are easily overcome with the use of Homeopathy, which is safe and effective for both you and your growing baby.

Homeopathy can help with:

  • Morning sickness
  • Heartburn
  • Constipation
  • Haemorrhoids
  • General exhaustion
  • Anticipation anxiety
  • Constipation
  • Sleeplessness
  • Thrush

Homeopathy is also great for pre-existing conditions that can no longer be treated by conventional methods due to the possible adverse effects to your baby.

Many women find Homeopathy a blessing when pregnant, as relief from complaints can be found and maintained without risk or complications. During pregnancy, Homeopathy can help to tone the uterus and ensure that labour and birth go smoothly.

Homeopathic remedies are prepared by subjecting the base substance to a special process called ‘potentisation’, which highly dilutes the base aubstance and enhances the remedies curative properties. For this reason homeopathics containing substances you ordinarily have to keep clear of during pregnancy (such as arnica) are safe to use.

Please consult your homeopath and doctor about any homeopathics or medicines you are taking during pregnancy, especially the first three months and the lead up to the birth.

Labour

The majority of the pregnant women I have known have expressed the desire to give birth naturally (e.g. no drugs or interventions).

However, I have found in today’s society, a lack of enough support, education and encouragement to help women achieve the natural birth they hope for.

The combined efforts of a midwife, homeopathic practitioner and partner/ family can provide the support and advice for you to have a healthy child birth.

Of course, prompt medical care is needed in high-risk situations for the health of both mother and baby, in many cases the key to avoiding such problems comes in the form of good preparation.

Homeopathic medicines can help with bruise and tear prevention, muscle tone, re-positioning of the foetus and anxiety before birth. During labour, problems such as cervix rigidity and limited dilation, pain management, retained placenta and heavy bleeding can be addressed. After the birth, Homeopathy is very effective in cases of prolapse, infection and wound healing. Homeopathic medicines help facilitate the delivery process. They can prevent problems during labour, decrease delivery time and increase pain threshold, all leading to a more satisfying childbirth experience.

Babies

Homeopathy is safe and effective treatment for your baby. The medicine can either be given orally to the bub or by the mother through her breast milk. Many mothers I speak to are concerned to put any chemicals or drugs such as panadol to their new little ones. Additionally, most medicines, including other natural medicines are difficult to administer.

In my clinic, I administer homeopathics in a brandy and water solution in a little dropper bottle.

Common ailments in my clinic include;

  • Colic
  • Coughs
  • Colds
  • Distress
  • Fever
  • Teething
  • Nappy rash
  • Earaches
  • Croup
  • Birth trauma
  • Refusing milk
  • Vomiting milk
  • Developmental milestones

It can be tricky to distinguish what’s going on with your bub. Babies can also move through symptoms very fast for instance, fevers can rise within minutes. Learning simple first aid remedies can be invaluable at this stage of development.

Example:

Colic can show signs in two main ways:

  1. Babies that are inclined to draw their knees up, twisting and writhing in your arms. Common remedy: Colocynthis
  2. Those babies who arch backwards from the pain. Common remedy: Belladonna

Remedies do vary depending on the symptoms that accompany these two forms however; having these remedies on hand may be enough to get your baby out of discomfort for the night until you can call in for a quick consult. You may even resolve the colic all together.

Empowering parents and clients to use homeopathy at home is one of my passions. Talks are held frequently at the Magdala Cottage Holistic Energy centre (Paul can you link this). Alternatively, I am happy to offer talks in your home for groups above six (if you organise your mothers group or friends) for $20pp. Kits start at $50 for 6 remedies.
