I goofed - Liz
Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2005 9:53 am
HI Liz, Its interesting that you used 200C potencies!
I don't think I have ventured with 200C in acutes, but yes I have
used 200C with constitutionals during pregnancy.
there are a few cases that don't seem to be so sensitive adn require
a higher potency.
The time when during college days we used to repeat 30C tds (!)
during ( normal)labour of after (normal) delivery (specifics like LAc
Can, Arnica calendula, etc). BUt I don't recall any instance that I
have repeated a remedy frequently in my private practive.

Pregnancy is a very dynamic state, as Dr Leela says, and like her I
expect to monitor the situation much more closely. I also prefer to
use higher potencies during an acute like this - 200c most often. I
have had to deal with similar cases during pregnancy - and I can
remember one that really had me sweating - worrying - about the rapid
and strong response - and similalry agonising over what I had done.
Fortunately at the time I had a really good teacher with a lot of
experience of homeopathy in pregnancy - she encouraged and supported
me - and spurred me on to have the courage of my homeopathic
convictions. I thank her regularly for being an inspiration.
maybe one or two deliveries with homeopathy each year (which is more
than most of my colleagues locally), and work with another a dozen
women during their pregnancies. Some are more challenging than
others, but they are always a real treat. One thing that I find
invaluable is Sandra Perko's book on pregnancy and birth. It is
modern and accurate - a veritable mine of useful information.
pregnancy - this is a great time to be a homeopath!

that idea. What can we all learn from this, in terms of things to
watch out for.

might rebound in that way from the remedy. What signs might there
have been to proceed cautiously? What would be a prudent response
when such signs are present?

unusual in oregnancy, especailly towards full term - I have certainly

not a reason to think that you goofed.

None of us is perfect -and it is a dangerous delusion to think that
any of us are. Being imperfect keeps us on our toes - striving to
improve.

those who don't turn out as we expect.
