Why are we sending out a newsletter about our maternity remedies in the month of March?
Did you know that most babies in South Africa are conceived during the winter months, particularly in June and July, leading to a peak in births between March and May? This trend has been observed consistently over recent years. It also aligns with stats from countries north of the equator where the majority of births occur in September with conception occurring in the winter months.
Biologists speculate that, apart from colder months being more conducive to extra cuddling 😉, the fertility of mammals is influenced by day length which acts like a reproductive calendar. Short days are a signal to get pregnant, the goal being to give birth at a time when plenty of resources are available for newborns – being born in Springtime or Summer is evolutionarily beneficial. Other research has shown that sperm is healthier and more mobile in the winter months and the female ovum is more receptive during winter.
Another interesting little statistical snippet is that as of December 2022, South Africa reported a gender ratio of 102 males per 100 females, which means more male births than female births were registered.
WHY USE HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR PREGNANCY & BIRTH?
Some people believe that homeopathic remedies during pregnancy and child birth are only for those moms choosing natural childbirth. This simply isn’t the case and we want to set the record straight. Whatever your birth plan, whether natural birth or caesarean, using the Pegasus Homeopathic Maternity/Labour kit can help to avoid or lessen complications through safe and effective homeopathic interventions.
Midwives and Doulas have confirmed that having homeopathic remedies to hand, has eased and helped to facilitate many births. Read below for more details about each remedy in our Maternity/Labour kit.
WHAT’S INSIDE THE PEGASUS MATERNITY/LABOUR KIT?
Pegasus Homeopathics has designed the Maternity/labour kit to provide care solutions to mothers at all stages of pregnancy, labour, birth and post-birth and for generally avoiding complications. The maternity range comes as a kit but you can also purchase the individual remedies here.
V.M.T (Vertigo, Morning and Travel Sickness) is the best remedy for those early weeks of nausea and morning sickness.
Taken from the 30th week of pregnancy, the PREGNANCY REMEDY 12C – aids preparing the body for birth. Homeopathy will only do to the body, that which is meant to happen and most optimally.
Should the pregnant woman experience emotional issues during her late pregnancy, this can lead to possible uncoordinated contractions. Applied in the last two weeks, the BIRTHING REMEDY 200c can be of tremendous assistance in initiating natural induction.
The POSTNATAL REMEDY 6C helps with both physical and mental exhaustion post-birth (bruising, bleeding, swelling and inflammation) and is ideal for post-caesarean section too, where a nerve-rich area has been cut.
Blood loss is a natural occurrence during birth. PEGASUS HEAMATONIC 30C acts as a blood tonic having a therapeutic effect on a number of organs (liver, spleen, pancreas) and haemoglobin, the nervous system and general metabolism as it addresses a low vital force. It aids assimilation of elemental iron into the system and is excellent in recuperative situations.
It’s quite common for new moms to experience the “baby blues” especially after an emotional or difficult birth. The PEGASUS POSTNATAL BLUES REMEDY 200C Is ideal for post-natal stress disorders including disassociation ( being disconnected or separated from your body and surroundings, feeling a bit ‘floaty’ or not quite present in your body) Often, new mothers feel overwhelmed and guilty for feeling anything but joy, but it is unfortunately a harsh reality.
There was a recent case where the husband/father, was more overwhelmed than his wife and responded exceptionally well to this remedy, getting back to normal within 3 days.
Many new mothers believe that breastfeeding will just ‘come naturally’ and the baby will automatically breastfeed with ease. Sometimes, this isn’t how it works out. Some babies battle to latch on and to suck properly – leading to great discomfort and stress for both mom and baby. The LACTATION REMEDY 6C is a homeopathic remedy aiding in milk production and quality of milk.
The Pegasus MASTITIS 30C remedy relieves symptoms of breast engorgement, pain and inflammation, including nipple discomfort (a very painful situation for a lot of new mothers)
The PEGASUS RENEWAL OIL is a tissue oil (incorporating arnica, Calendula, Lavender and Rosemary) for topical application to the perineum, pre and post birth to promote skin elasticity – it’s also excellent for healing stretch marks. It can be applied to any scars (such as caesarean, or perineum cuts) to help wounds heal rapidly. And if you are concerned that you won’t use the whole bottle, it is excellent used as a night time facial moisturizer!
