Smile those pregnancy blues away

Although the majority of pregnancies run a smooth course most women expect to feel different, as also look different, during the period of gestation (the time the baby spends in the uterus).
The human baby requires a gestation period of about nine months, the opossum's baby a mere eleven days and the elephant's nearly two years.!in humans this period varies probably influenced by the mother's menstrual cycle. Most drs agree that a baby will never live it is born on the 196th day after the last menstrual period, on the other hand, pregnancies lasting beyond the 300th day are rare. The average pregnancy lasts 260 days.
Care your unborn child.
Taking care of the pregnant mother is the best way to take care of the unborn child. The development of the foetus can be affected by many factors in its mother's environment. Though many babies seem perfectly healthy despite exposure to potentially damaging substances and events, each exposure increases the risk that something can go wrong.
Emotional care
If a woman is very tense during her pregnancy full of irritations and complaints, her unborn child may be unusually active. Instead of taking strong sedative and tranquilizers, it is much better to take a homoeopathic nerve smother like Kali phos 6 x potency, five pills three times daily, or more frequently if necessary. The use of Kali phos soother the nerves and has a calming effects on the pregnant woman. It has no side effects on either the mother or the child.
At times sleep is a major problem. This may be due to emotional p or physical discomfort. Once again, Kali phos, 6x,five pills at bed time, will help.
Drugs and cigarettes
Many obstetricians recommend that women refrain from taki any medications,  including potent med such as cold remedies, at least during the first three months of pregnancy, unless that medicine is essential for the preservation of the mother's health. There are number of chemical substances which may or may not affect the development of the embryo.
The case of the Thalidomide babies is now quite well known. Thalidomide was a drug used by pregnant mothers for preventing nausea or vomiting which was prescribed as morning sickness. The drug however, had to be withdrawn from the international market because it produced physically and mentally retarded children. Thalidomide is only one of the many, chemical substances banned. Instead of taking strong, chemically formulated drugs, you are safer with non toxic homoeopathic medicines, aren't you ? 
A study of more than 25,000 pregnancies shows that mothers who smoke cigarettes are more likely to have still born babies, premature babies or babies that are below average in weight than non smoking mothers, tobacco chewing, strong sedative drugs, and tranquilizers stimulate the contraction of the uterus and can lead to premature birth,. There are cases of spontaneous abortions and miscarriages, too.
Diet and digestion.
All the nutrients needed for the foetal growth must be taken from the mother's own diet and transmitted through the placenta. If the food eaten is not adequate, the growth of the child is affected.
Meals should be a high level of proteins and all the essential minerals and vitamins. The pregnant woman's Wright at the end of nine months should be around 20 pounds or 9 kg. higher than what it was before conception..
Homoeopathic Science is based on individualisation, that is,  each individual should be treated according to the totality of her symptoms. When a woman is pregnant she is treated according to her present symptoms, past illnesses,  present allergies, likes and dislikes and also her family history. This is known as a constitutional remedy. When this constitutional remedy is given over a regular period in the correct dosages and potency, it helps in building up the mother's and her child's cells and tissues, blood, bones, organs, brain and intelligence in a natural and healthy way.
These constitutional remedies act like a preventive medicine,  against any unwanted problems. For example, we had the case of a woman, two months pregnant,  who had given birth to two children with Atopic Eczema with skin eruptions all over the body. They were 7 and 5 years old, respectively,  still suffering from the same problem and with many other complications. She was extremely worried about having a third child with same problem. After seven months of regular my homoeopathic medicines she gave birth to a perfectly normal child without any skin problems.
Another woman she was a Muslim woman had given a birth to three children, all of them deaf and dumb. She wanted a fourth child without any defects. Since a syphilitic trait normally gives this type of abnormalities, and her husband had suffered from this venereal disease, I gave her anti syphilitic homoeopathic medicines without any guarantee, but to my joy she gave birth to a normal child. After this again at the time of her pregnancy she took my medicines and her fifth child was also born normal without any defects.
These examples shows that not only do homoeopathic medicines help in developing and maintaining good health during pregnancy, they also help in getting rid of certain hereditary diseases and family illnesses.. Every pregnant mother must seek the correct constitutional homoeopathic remedy from her homoeopath. Self medication is not advisable.
