Bach Flower Remedies in Pregnancy

All kinds of complementary approaches have something to offer moms-to-be. Bach remedies are especially helpful because they are connected to emotions, which are often upset during and after pregnancy.

Remember, however, that most drugs sold in stores are preserved in alcohol. If you are pregnant, we advise you to dilute them to reduce the amount of alcohol to minimal levels. And consult your doctor or midwife if you have any concerns.

During pregnancy all kinds of emotions can come to the fore. There are many changes to deal with, which can be difficult.

• Walnut is the remedy associated with adapting to change and removing old habits.

• If you are feeling irritable, you could consider Impatiens if you feel like you want everything done in a hurry, or Beech if other people's ways are more annoying and you feel they are letting you down.

•While some lucky women glow beautifully throughout their pregnancy, others feel frustrated about the natural changes in their appearance and body shape that occur during pregnancy. The Crab Apple can help us accept how we look and feel more confident about how others see us.

•As the birth itself approaches, it's natural to feel a little nervous about what's to come. The Mimulus is the right remedy for this type of normal, specific fear. Once again, the remedy for protection in times of change, Walnut , can come into its own.

• The Star of Bethlehem is often used if the birth itself was traumatic in any way.

Of course, moms-to-be aren't the only ones who suffer during pregnancy and its aftershocks. Dads suffer too , as do brothers and sisters. Fortunately, treatments can help the whole family. For example:

• It's not just mum dealing with change and Walnut can help the whole family in the same way when the new arrival turns the house upside down.

• The Holly is used when siblings show jealousy or hatred towards the new baby.

• The Chicory is for the child (or parent) who likes to be the center of the family's love and feels rejected and hurt when people deal with the new arrival.

• The Elm is for able-bodied people who feel temporarily unable to cope when extra demands are placed on them.

Olive is always worth considering when fatigue is a problem – but the underlying emotional cause must also be addressed.

• Most parents want to be good parents. This can lead to feelings of guilt if other things get in the way. Dads may find that career demands force them to take a back seat during and after pregnancy. Moms may feel guilty for deciding to go back to work. Both may try to do too much in an attempt to fit everything in. Pine is the medicine for guilt,

• While for overwork, the Oak helps the relentless parent who never backs down, and the Vervain is for people who take on extra hours with too much enthusiasm, perhaps as a way to show what a good parent they are.

• Guilt can also be a problem when work seems like a refuge from the chaos and noise created by the new arrival. Again, the Pine can help bring back a sense of justice, balance and responsibility, while at the same time reducing the negative effects of guilt.

• For some parents the difficulty can be admitting that they have feelings, let alone negative ones. Those who laugh at the idea that the new baby might be putting them under pressure and turn any attempt at serious conversation into a joke would be candidates for the Agrimony . This is the cure for people who hide their worries behind a smile.

• Others may go the opposite way and lose all sense of proportion. Working moms and dads who provide co-workers with exhaustive reports about baby poop when they should be chairing a meeting may need the Heather to help them regain the ability to see beyond their worries.

The key in all cases is the choice for the individual personality and emotional states of the person concerned. It doesn't matter if you choose for mom, dad or one of the kids - the important thing is to look at the person and how they feel.

With children – even very young children – this is usually not too difficult, as they are usually quite prepared to say what the problem is. But if your child is more reserved or just too young to understand what you're getting at, then you can get a lot of information just by playing with the child and seeing how he responds to things.

She is timid and shy ( Mimulus ) or bossy and determined to go her own way ( Vine ); He loses his cool and gets frustrated when a game doesn't work right the first time ( Impatiens ), or continues to methodically try to make it work? ( Oak ), or does he just give up and doesn't seem to care if it works or not ( Wild Rose ) ?
