For an easier, less painful pregnancy you may have considered these Mom to Mom tips:
1) Stay safely fit, hydrated, and rested, with healthier food choices when you can
2) Keep a journal of how you feel and what helps you to relax
3) Spend time with friends and family to keep up a good supportive community around yourself.
4) After many births or with a weakened uterus, eat up to 4 dates a day to tone the uterus.
5) Know and trust your body
Occasionally sleep, stress, nausea, or other symptoms can really interrupt the flow of the pregnancy. This may be when a safe, clean, and dependable medicine, may be just the thing! It is never a negative thing to ask for support. If you think you may benefit from a little extra support, consider Homeopathy with me, suited especially to your whole unique expression and experience.
Homeopathy, and remedies for Birth or After:
Birth tends to be when a woman’s strength comes through and shines, especially if she is well prepared. Yes, it is a natural process, but centuries of women’s wisdom can be good to know, especially in a time when we are managing an overabundance of pollution, toxins, and daily stresses. This is when Homeopathy for a healthier and less stress birth can be a wonderful, natural, and safe alternative to other modes of medicine.
