Pregnancy Help

I am currently 4 months pregnant - 2nd pregnancy. I have been suffering with hyperemesis for the last two months which is now easing without aid of medication as I did not want to take it. I still cannot tolerate many foods especially meet as they aggravate the nausea and sickness but I have managed to vary my diet to ensure it is as balanced as possbible

I am still breastfeeding and struggling to wean. My first pregnancy was not the easiest though no major problems. I have been feeling very anxious, tired and am under a lot of stress at the moment and worried about the impact on my baby. I had a very difficult time after the birth of the first child as I do not have much family nearby for support. My mother suffered from post natal depression and is a schizophrenic. My son suffers terribly with teething and I am addressing this but it often means I have very little sleep. I work full time and do not have much rest. I am struggling with insomnia which isnt helping with my fatigue or mood.

Can anyone suggest a remedy as I am exhausted and do not want to put my self at risk of postnatal depression etc. I just want to start feeling better and not so worn out

thank you in advance

Have you used homeopathic medicines before? If so what, and what homeopathic potencies did you use?

I recall my father used them on in childhood when I suffered with bronchitis but unable to provide any details on this. I tried Arnica 30c after birth of my son to aid with healing after birth - i had a 2nd degree tear and post partum haermorrage

Please answer the following questions in a descriptive manner after careful analysis and recollection of previous experiences and happenings.

1. Describe your main suffering? emotionally and physically feel worn out, suffering with insomnia, currently pregnant and suffered with hyperemesis for last two months. feel under stress as lack of family support as live some distance away from my family.

2. What other physical sufferings do you have in your body? tiredness and fatigue, feelings of complete exhaustion at times

3. What mental sufferings / feelings do you have associated with your physical sufferings?

feel low in mood, varying extremes at times feel completely helpless and feel no hope of improvement. other times i try to be positive but feel am in denial or trying to convince myself all is well.

4. What exactly do you feel when you are at your worst? Describe the sensation in your own words. I feel helpless, desperate, exhausted, then hate myself for feeling this way knowing others are worse off.

5. When did it all start? Can you connect it to any past event or disease?

Linked to childhood which was very difficult as my mother is a paranoid schizophrenic who spent her life in and out of hospital. no real attachment to any of her children, is very manipulative. I have had to place distance between myself and her. After the birth of my son nearly two years ago I had no support from my in laws, were very critical of everything and things became very difficult and led to breakdown of relationship with them. currently it is civil for the sake of my son and husband but I feel extreme anger at the treatment I received when I was my most vulnerable. Since then I havent felt myself - coupled together with having a toddler whose teething from the start has been difficult, i have little sleep on many occaisions and work full time also. I have a very supportive husband but do not want to always tell him how i feel as i know he feels responsible for the way his parents treated me

6. Which time of the day you are worst? currently mornings and evenings around my sons bedtime - 730pm as I feel anxious about what kind of night he may have.

7. What are the things which aggravate your suffering and which are those which ameliorate the same? Example- time, temperature, pressure, rubbing, washing, eating, tight clothing etc.

aggravated by lack of sleep, tiredness, not having time to myself. lack of support. only thing which helps is having a restful nights sleep and keeping busy physically and emotionally so i dont have time to think about how i am feeling

8. Do your think your sufferings have relation to any external stimuli (like, change of place) or any internal biological changes in the body, like, menses (in females)?

definitely feel linked to external factors, lack of support from my own mother and in laws

feel better during hot warm weather, worse during cold

10. Describe your general mental set up? Are you Moody, Arrogant, Mild, Agreeable Changeable, Nervous, Suspicious, Easily offended, Quiet, Arguing, Irritating, Lazy etc.

no

- How do you feel about your friends, family, your children and especially your husband / wife?

Many thanks for your advice. I am currently suffering with a cold sore and although not applying external medication did apply some moisturising cream this morning. Is it ok to start at the Sepia or should I wait for cold sore to heal - it is nearly healed.
 
sahds1 last decade
welcome. Avoid such external creams. coconut oil is fine though for moisturising purpose.

Since sepia can also help for this sore, no problem if you take now or in a couple of days.
