Here are some common recommendations for the expecting and new mother.
Puls 30 |
When the contractions can't make up their mind about starting. One dose every 2 hours if needed. The process will either start properly or stop until it is ready to begin. |
Caulophyllum 10m |
When the process has definitely started and there is no chance of it stopping again. One dose only. |
Kali Phos 12x |
When the process is becoming 'laborious'. A lot of energy is being expended with little result to show for it. The nervous system is becoming exhausted. One dose every 15 minutes until the results justify the effort. |
Aconite 30 |
When the new person shows any sign of shock or fright, or if he/she stays too purple for too long. If the cord is still attached then give it to the new mother. If it has been (prematurely) cut then give it to the new person. One dose only. |
Ipecac 200 |
When there is any sign of overbleeding after arrival. Any bleeding should stop in seconds or minutes according to how fast things need to be healed. One dose only. |
Arnica 200 |
After arrival. Give it to the new mother immediately after delivery is complete. It will reduce the effects of all the stretching and muscle strain, and help the body very quickly repair any damaged bits. Three doses at 3 hour intervals. |
Bellis Perennis 1m |
For the day after the new person's arrival as it will help the mother's organs back into their appointed places. One dose each day for 3 days. |
