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.
Running with the Wolves type Wisdom,
Nature has its course and we can work with her or against her. Tighten all your muscles and be in a disregulated state of fear is generally not what we are going for. This will produce complications. So, when things seem too much..

◦ move freely when you have the energy, don’t be afraid to soothe with your voice
◦ eat well, lots of healthy fruit,veg. and healthy protein, some healthy fats.
◦ Stay nourished in your mind and heart
