I had low blood platelets in my final trimester, which threatened my homebirth dream. I tackled this with Homeopathy and had to have regular blood tests to check my platelet count. I even had to have a blood test as my labour quietly began at home!
Long story short, my baby boy was born at home, in a birth pool with no problems or interventions.
A healthy, happy baby, and a healthy, happy, tired mother! (Followed six years later by an equally homeopathically raised daughter).
Homeopathy is safe to use pre-conception and beyond – and is useful for a variety of pregnancy-related conditions, as well as during birth and for the 4th trimester (postnatal depression and more).
Seeing the success of Homeopathy during her pregnancy journey inspired Kirsty Richards to become a Homeopath and in 2010, she graduated as DipHomNZ. She’s based on Waiheke Island and works with women throughout Aotearoa and worldwide via Zoom. You can find out more on her website www.wholebeinghealth.co.nz and connect with her on Facebook and Instagram.
