Homeopathic during the postpartum period
Here is the list of most effective medicines according to symptoms.
ARNICA
After birth or especially Caesarean Arnica will help the healing and ease pain and discomfort. It is a major remedy for postoperative healing.
BELLIS PERENNIS
This remedy will further help cases where there is any residual bruising or discomfort remaining after Arnica. It is indicated for abdominal wounds and deep trauma and will complement the initial action of Arnica.
HYPERICUM
This remedy is indicated for injury to the coccyx during labour or delivery and for lacerations which affect parts rich in nerves, including surgery to the genital area. Helpful after episiotomy or a natural tear (compare to Staphysagria) and also for any residual effects following an epidural.
Episiotomy or laceration (in tincture form)
A tincture of hypericum mixed with calendula (Hypercal) can be purchased from a homeopathic pharmacy and used externally. Mix 10 drops in a tablespoon of sterile or cooled boiled water and apply to perineum on a compress. Keep in contact for up to an hour and repeat several times until relief is obtained.
STAPHYSAGRIA
This remedy is also indicated following caesarean, or episiotomy with pain in the incision, great sensitivity and redness of the wound. This is particularly helpful for example if the woman has had an unexpected caesarean which was not of her choosing and feels somewhat violated by the procedure. Consider also Arnica, Bellis Perennis (caesarean) or Hypericum (episiotomy) on their own individual merits
Homeopathic medicine during labour
Following eight medicines are very effective as per symptoms during labour
1. ACONITE
Aconite is a remedy for shock and fear. In labour it will help if the labour is going too fast and pains are strong and frightening. Often the person who needs this remedy will have a fear that they might die. This might be completely out of proportion to the severity of the situation, i.e. there may be no real risk but the person has this feeling nonetheless.
2. ARNICA
Arnica is the most important remedy for bruising and trauma. During labour can help speed dilation of the cervix and can help prevent both haemorrhage and postpartum infection.
It can be helpful if the woman feels tired especially if there are no other indications for remedies such as Kali Phos or Gelsemium (compare further below).
Please note it can also be given to the baby in case of a traumatic birth or forceps delivery.
3. CAULOPHYLLUM
4. CHAMOMILLA
This remedy can be useful when the pain is centered in the lower back. Particularly with the baby in posterior position.
This remedy will not be useful unless there is extreme irritability.
5. KALI CARBONICUM
Aggravation during the night, especially 2-4am.
Woman may be nagging and complaining.
6. KALI PHOSPHORICUM
Exhaustion with no other indications or if Arnica is not helping.
7. GELSEMIUM
This remedy will be helpful if there is a failure to dilate with tiredness and weakness (compare to Kali Phos, Arnica and Caulophyllum).
The weakness often presents with very heavy eyelids and a dazed expression.
Woman may feel trembly especially from fright or anticipation.
8. PULSATILLA

Childbirth.
Dr. Sayeed Ahmad D. I. Hom. (London)
For convenience, following is the Pregnancy Table for expected date of delivery:
Find the date of the last menstrual period in the top line (light-face type) of the pair of lines.
The dark number (bold-face type) in the line below will be the expected day of delivery.
I have come across with an article published on 16 Mar 2004 in "KID’S HEALTH" Magazine, which is reproduced below to assist new mothers.
Steps to Recovering From Delivery
That Every Woman Needs to Know
Physical symptoms
* Hot and cold flashes: Your internal thermostat is fluctuating trying to adjust to the new hormone and blood flow levels.
Wide-range of emotions
* This is a major surgery and takes a much longer time to heal.
* The worse pain will be the day after the surgery and will gradually begin to subside.
* Don’t scratch the area of the incision and take sponge baths for the first several days.
* If you notice any redness or swelling around the incision, call your doctor to make sure it isn’t infected.
* To help the recovery process, start gentle exercises such as abdominal tightening, bending and walking, (with assistance initially) as soon as possible.
* Drink lots of water, preferably eight to ten glasses a day.
* Expect vaginal discharge.
* Avoid stairs and driving until you have healed properly.
Taking time for yourself
The following exercise is a great way to help you set your priorities after motherhood:
Make a list of five activities, goals, hobbies or interests that are important to you to pursue in the year following childbirth.
Keeping a strong relationship with your partner
Having a baby always puts relationships to the test and it’s up to you and your partner to determine if your relationship will get stronger or weaker as a result of this experience.
Keep your romance alive by scheduling "date nights."

Irregular or Missing Menstrual Periods
When a girl reaches puberty, her hormones become active. A hormone called estrogen is made in the ovaries. Estrogen affects the lining of the womb and makes it grow and develop. After 10 to 14 days, the ovaries release an egg, and begin to produce another hormone called progesterone. The egg has now moved from the ovary to the uterus through the Fallopian tube. If the egg has not been fertilized by a sperm, the production of progesterone stops. When that happens, the lining of the womb comes away with a some blood and the woman gets her monthly period. The entire process takes about 28 days.
Irregular and Missing Menstrual Periods
Menstrual cycles that vary more than a few days in length from month to month are considered irregular. Most menstrual cycle intervals occur about every four weeks, with the normal range between 24 and 35 days. To measure your menstrual cycle, start counting from the first day of your last period and stop counting on the first day of your next period. Don't worry if you have one or two irregular cycles; Occasionally all women have variations. True irregularity persists over several months so if you do notice wide fluctuations in your cycle, speak to your doctor about it.
Periods are often light or widely spaced both when a young woman starts having periods and when a woman is nearing the menopause. This is normal because the woman is not producing an egg every month. Many women experience widely spaced periods typically having one or two periods every six months. The common cause of infrequent periods is a condition called polycystic ovaries. This is a common condition affecting as many as 10 per cent of women. There are a large number of very small (less than 1cm) cysts on the ovaries and these are in association with a hormone imbalance. The result of this is that women do not ovulate regularly and so their periods are usually infrequent.
Some of the factors associated with temporary cessation of periods are: 1) Calorie-restricted diets 2) Strenuous exercise3) High levels of stress. Some women with no previous symptoms also miss periods after discontinuing use of oral contraceptives. Typically, in each of the above situations, moderation in diet, and exercise, stress reduction, and the passage of time, help return normal menstrual function. Depending on the cause, there may be too much or too little estrogen produced by the body. Over a long period of time too much estrogen can cause overgrowth of the cells in the lining of the uterus, (which can lead to cancer), while too little estrogen can cause calcium loss from the bones (leading to osteoporosis).
