Bach blossoming in the laughter

All sorts of complementary approaches offer something for expectant mothers. Bach remedies are particularly helpful because they connect with emotions, which are often upsetting during and after pregnancy.

Remember, however, that most over-the-counter medications are preserved in alcohol. If you are pregnant, we advise you to dilute them to reduce the amount of alcohol to a minimum. 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.

•The Walnut is the therapy related to adapting to change and removing old habits.

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

•While some lucky women glow beautifully throughout pregnancy others feel disappointed about the physical changes in their appearance and body shape that occur during. The Crab Apple It 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 coming. The Mimulus is the right treatment for this kind of normal, specific fear. Once again, the medicine for protection in times of change, the Walnut, it may come on its own.

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

Of course, expectant mothers are not the only ones who suffer during pregnancy and its aftereffects. The dads They suffer too, as do their brothers and sisters. Fortunately, treatments can help the whole family. For example:

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

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

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

• The Elm it is for capable people who temporarily feel they cannot cope when there are additional demands on them.

The olive tree (Olive) It's always worth considering when fatigue is a problem – but the underlying emotional cause should also be addressed.

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

• While for overfatigue, the Oak helps the relentless parent that never gives up, and the Vervain it's for people who take on extra hours with a lot of enthusiasm, perhaps as a way to show how good parents they are it is.

• 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 It 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 may be admitting that they have feelings, let alone negative ones. Those who laugh at the idea that a new baby might put them under pressure and turn any attempt at serious conversation into a joke would be candidates for the AgrimonyThis 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 their colleagues with exhaustive reports on 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 to choose for the individual personality and emotional states of the person concerned. It doesn't matter if you choose for the mom, the dad or one of the children - 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 simply too young to understand what you mean, then you can get a lot of information just by playing with the child and watching how they respond to things.
