How can homeopathy help during childbirth

There are remedies that appear to be effective in dealing with possible problems during childbirth,such as a cervix which is slow to dilate, pain,excessive bleeding, retained placenta and other difficulties. Your homeopath will advise you and your partner on the use of remedies in labour. You might want to ask your homeopath if they can attend the birth or if they can recommend a labour kit. The following remedies are often required, both during and after labour, so if you are new to homeopathy or are unable to consult a homeopath, you can start out with these:

Aconite: the labour is too fast (any stage), the pains are very strong(even unbearable) and you have a feeling of panic. 

Arnica: an indispensable remedy that can be given from time to time during labour to help the muscles function properly, to relieve the over-exertion of labour and reduce the bruised feeling after delivery.

Kali phos for simple exhaustion during labour, mental emotional and physical. 

Caullophyllum: for a difficult labour where the cervix is slow to dilate and the pains are strong but ineffective. You feel cold and trembly. ( This remedy is not available over the counter- consult a registered homeopath)

Pulsattilla: when contractions are irregular and weak, the cervix is slow to dilat and you feel miserable, clingy and tearful. You may talk about wanting to give up and go home!
