Birth

From my experience and research a womens birthing expereince is a reflection of her preparation through pregnancy. By recognising fears and concerns before the labour process both parents can create the birth experience they want, whether that be at home, in water, in a birth centre or a labour ward.

Preparation

 Preparation creates confidence which can make all the difference during labour. Regular exercise is of prime importance as is good nutritional status. Fear of pain is a major issue seeing many women chose epidurals and  pethidine for their labour or even avoiding labour altogether with an elective caesarean.

Risks and Side Effects

There are of course risks and side effects to these options, often undiscovered until it is too late. Natural medicines have an important role to play for women who wish to avoid drugs and surgery. Acupuncture, herbs, homoeopathics, flower essences, aromatherapy can all play a role in preparing for labour and reducing pain and discomfort during the birthing process.

Speedy Recovery

Speedy recovery from any sort of labour can also be enhanced by these natural remedies. I have attended a number of labours using natural therapies to support the mother, with great results. Your birth assistant (husband or friend) can also be shown how to use these remedies safely and effectively.
