Arnica – this should be taken in a high potency like a 200c. I suggest taking one pill at the onset of labour. Take another when in advanced labour. On the day of the delivery suck 1 pill every 2 hours. There after take 1 pill 3 times daily for 3 to 5 days.
- Kali phos – take this as Tissue Salts or a 6c potency. These help to keep the energy levels up during labour. This may be dissolved in water to be sipped right through out labour.
- Rescue remedy – take this before and during labour for fear and anxiety.
- Caulophyllum 30c – this remedy may be taken during labour if the cervix does not dilate and the labour is not progressing. Suck 1 pill every 15 minutes for 3 doses. This remedy can also be taken twice daily for up to 3 days if the dues date arrives, but the baby does not! .
