It feels good to start posting again after a long break. I came across this article on www.destinationsante.com (France), and post it here with their permission.

Mothers-to-be choose homeopathy as the safe option
[5 October 2007 - 12:21]
The risk of possible secondary effects means that pregnancy and conventional medicines do not always go together well. Which is no doubt one of the reasons why homeopathy is gradually gaining ground among mothers-to-be.
Women are able to continue using homeopathic remedies, despite being pregnant, to relieve problems associated with pregnancy and even to prepare for the birth.
“With homeopathy, there are no contraindications”, explains Anne-Marie Curat, member of the French National Midwives Council. “It’s very reassuring for pregnant women, because as soon as they read the information that accompanies conventional medicines they see the familiar phrase: ‘not suitable for use by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding’”.
Nausea, vomiting, bloating, constipation, sleeping problems, cramp, stretch marks, tender breasts and, of course, contractions… Nowadays homeopathic treatments are used to treat most of the problems associated with pregnancy…including preparing for the birth itself. There is a homeopathic treatment called Caulophyllum that is known to be effective and “encourages dilation and reduces the duration of labour”, states Anne-Marie Curat.
“Obviously we are not suggesting that these treatments be used as a matter of course”, the midwife continues. “We operate on a case by case basis. But very often we are responding to the requests of patients who want to be treated homoeopathically”.
