Can anyone recommend any homeopathic remedies to use before/during/after labour?
I'm being extra organised and making a list of what I want to buy... so far I have the naturopharm products - birthaid, prebirth and hypercal gel. Rescue remedy for during labour? Raspberry leaf tea for 3 weeks before labour Rosehip water spray for my face during labour I really have no idea just too much time on my hands :) -------------

I've got arnica which I was taking religiously while in birthcare and rescue remedy. The arnica drops I have been using are also helpful for DDs hematoma (sp). I didn't use raspberry leaf tea. Instead homeopath that is a friend of mums gave me a birthing tonic 123 pregnancy which is basically like epo and the tea all rolled into one. I'm not sure if it worked or not but I managed to get a 7lb12oz baby out with a 38cm head circumfrence out with out tearing or needing stitches just a slight graze. I am trying to remember to take the arnica now to help with my healing very sore down there still! ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

I had the naturopharm products, and I also had arnica. Although what I swear by the most is Zinc drops that you put in water and Ester C tablets to take before and after the birth, my recovery was almost instant from a VB and all the goodness also goes into your breastmilk so helps baby too. I had terrible black bruising half way up my arm where they had tried a million times to get a line in and within 2 days it had gone, which just goes to show how well the arnica works.
When I told my doctor that I was taking Ester C he said "oh I never heard of anyone taking Ecstasy while pregnant!" LOL!!!! ------------- http://alterna-tickers.com">
