PREGNANCY - HOMOEOPATHY

Homoeopathy, an alternative to allopathy is ideal for women because it doesn't harm to mother and baby. Homoeopathy acts in a a gentle way and is highly effective system of medicine. During pregnancy some women will choose to live with the discomfort of minor complaints such as morning sickness or heartburn, rather than seek treatment because they are concerned about the possible side effects of orthodox medicines with regard to their unborn child.

By stimulating the vitality of a pregnant woman, homoeopathic treatment will automatically benefit her baby. By being as healthy as possible during pregnancy you are giving your baby the ideal conditions in which to thrive. Many homoeopaths will advise you on diet and lifestyle to encourage a healthy pregnancy and birth. Good homoeopathic treatment prior to conception can help you be as healthy as possible during your pregnancy.

The many physical and emotional changes of pregnancy may cause minor health problems, such as mild urinary problems, diarrhea, heartburn, anemia, varicose veins, backache, cramps, thrush or emotional distress. All these problems and more potentially complicated symptoms such as raised blood pressure or oedema, can still be helped by professional homoeopathic treatment.

PREGNANCY COMPLAINTS AND HOMOEOPATHY:

MORNING SICKNESS 

Symptoms of morning sickness include nausea, occasional vomiting and tiredness. Many women experience these symptoms during the first three months of pregnancy, usually in the morning when the stomach is empty, although it can occur at any time of the day and some women may feel sick the whole day.

The traditional cure of eating a dry biscuit before getting out of bed is worth trying. Avoid rich, fatty foods and try eating little and often if your nausea is worse when you are hungry.

 Seek professional help if your vomiting is severe, for example if you are unable to keep food down and are losing weight, or if it persists past your third month. The following remedies are the more commonly indicated:
