Birth & Postnatal Consultation

Giving birth is a unique experience for every mother, baby, and family.

Homeopathy can be a gentle and practical support in the lead-up to birth, during labour, and throughout the postnatal stage. It can be easily incorporated into your birth plan alongside your midwife or maternity care team.

It is helpful to bring your partner or birthing support person to this consultation, or have them join by Zoom, as they may be the person supporting you with remedies during labour.

During a Birth & Postnatal Consultation, we discuss any previous birth experiences, your current pregnancy, your birth plan, and the key remedies most often used for the different situations that may arise during labour, birth, and the postnatal period.

Remedies may be selected to support situations such as:

  • general tiredness, bruising, soreness, and muscle strain

  • emotional overwhelm, fears, or anxieties

  • support during transition

  • contractions that are irregular, ineffective, or not progressing strongly

  • support for dilation and labour progression

  • breech or posterior presentations

  • after-pains

  • caesarean section recovery

  • epidural recovery

  • post-birth healing and recovery

 

Homeopathy may also support mothers with nursing and breastfeeding difficulties, including mastitis, painful or sore nipples, reduced milk supply, over-abundant milk supply, emotional difficulties with breastfeeding, bonding with baby, and the stages that follow after birth for both mother and baby.

Homeopathy and Essences can also support the emotional adjustment that comes with welcoming a new baby. This may include bonding with baby, confidence as a mother, father, or partner, emotional overwhelm, tiredness, sensitivity, and the changes a new baby can bring to your relationship, family rhythm, and sense of self.

Remedy kits may also be available for hire, subject to availability and for purchase 

1 hour is allocated for a Birth & Postnatal Consultation
