It's well known and acknowledged that a woman's body goes through many changes during pregnancy... but what about the changes post-delivery/ post-partum? There's a wealth of information out there to help you through to labor and delivery—prenatal classes, birthing classes, and loads of books and resources online too. I'm really thankful for all the women who've shared their stories over the years to help women navigate these changes and step into motherhood.
Once we have that adorable new baby in our arms, what comes next? While we're focused on caring for our newborn and their various stages, what about the changes new moms experience after the baby arrives? From my experience (having had 4 babies), there isn't much information on managing the stages our bodies go through to return to normal, and how long that process takes. We're talking about moods, tiredness to exhaustion, sleep and naps, deciding between returning to work or being a stay-at-home mom, nursing or formula, how our bodies will change, and how long it takes to feel like ourselves again... plus many more changes I haven't even mentioned. I hope to explore some of these topics today, with more to follow later.
My "go-to" is Homeopathy because it has been evaluated and shown to be safe and effective for people of all ages, including those who are pregnant, postpartum, or nursing. The most challenging aspect of homeopathy is aligning your symptoms with your key symptoms and modalities (factors that improve or worsen your condition). Take some time each day to journal about your emotional and physical state, as well as what alleviates or exacerbates your symptoms. This practice will assist in identifying the remedy that will benefit you the most.
Milk Supply
I will always support breastfeeding your baby, whether it involves just a few days of colostrum, a few weeks of nursing, or a longer commitment. Any amount of time spent nursing your baby is beneficial. You are the only person who truly understands your body, personal circumstances, and goals. Make sure to discuss everything with your husband so he can provide the best support possible—communication is essential.
Factors that can affect milk supply:
Sleep (lack of/ exhaustion)
Stress
Water intake
Diet
Clogged ducts
Homeopathy for Milk Supply - this is not an exhaustive list but covers many usual issues. Potency commonly is anywhere between 6C - 30C, taken 1-3 times daily. Homeopathy is not traditional medicine - you'll stop taking the remedy when improvement begins. A licensed homeopath would be able to guide you through the details of how and when to take the remedy and NCC would love the opportunity to walk with you in this journey. Schedule Today!

Postpartum Depression
PPD is REAL! I experienced PPD after each of my children, and before discovering the benefits of natural remedies, I relied on pharmaceuticals that left me feeling like a zombie and disconnected from life (and my baby). After experiencing various challenges with traditional medicine for depression between 1993 and 1997, I decided to conduct my own research and experimented on myself. Due to government regulations and restrictions, I cannot reveal the specifics of my findings here, but as a holistic practitioner and homeopath, I can share those details with you during a consultation.
Homeopathy Can Make a Big Difference!
Using homeopathy for PPD always depends on the individual's exact emotional picture, not the diagnosis alone. This is where journaling will help too and sharing those feelings with your spouse because sometimes they see things and notice things we don't. Here are some top homeopathic choices and I'm only listing a couple symptoms otherwise the list would get very long and confusing.
Sepia - Indifference to baby or partner; Wants to be alone
Ignatia - Acute grief; disappointment; sighing; lump in throat sensation
Pulsatilla - Mild, clingy, tearful depression; wants comfort and reassurance
Natrum mur. - Silent grief, withdrawal; don't want to talk about feelings
Phosphorus - Anxiety, exhaustion, emotional sensitivity; Overwhelmed by caring for others

Postpartum Hemorrhoids
Once you hold that beautiful new baby in your arms, you quickly forget about all the aches and pains it took to get there... until it's time to use the bathroom. Swelling and inflammation occur, making it painful to relieve yourself, with stinging, burning, and constipation setting in rather quickly. Fortunately, we have a homeopathic ally!
My favoite homeopathic remedy for after childbirth is Aloe Socotrina. Gentle but very effective!
Aloe Socotrina uses:
Rectal weakness after vaginal birth
Postpartum Hemorrhoids/ Thrombosed hemorrhoids - including protruding hemorrhoids that are purple, hot and swollen
Postpartum Bowel Changes - sudden urgency due to pelvic floor laxity; or healing from a perineal tear or episiotomy
Pelvic Congestion & Pressure feeling - feeling of heaviness in the pelvis
