POST PARTUM Complaints & Homoeopathy.
The word post partum comes from Latin language where ‘post’ means after and ‘partum’ means birth. It is the stage immediately after the birth. Common complaints of postpartum stage are:
1. PPH or postpartum hemorrhage;
2. Injuries – perineal tears; and
3. Retained Placenta
Post-Partum Hemorrhage
Excessive bleeding after birth is PPH. Sometimes a pull on the umbilical cord after the birth of the child can affect the detachment of placenta resulting in partial separation of the placenta. This leads to PPH.
Non-medicinal management
1. Motivating the mother to push down to expel the placenta;
2. Reassurance to mother with regard to baby and bleeding;
3. Constant monitoring on vitals.

Very strenuous, frightening, painful and emotional times with ups and downs. Elation for having a newborn, yet, new responsibilities for a new life and constant care. Baby's needs above mother's needs. No sleep. Plus, waiting for milk to come in.
