How Emotional Stress Affects Your Unborn Child

Did you know?

That any aspect of you that has been left unhealed will be transferred to your child?  When the child is in the womb, the child will experience everything the mother experiences. This includes emotional stress.

This is called emotional transference

Many aspiring mothers know the importance of a healthy diet and living a stress free pregnancy because they know it will affect their child. But very few know that the rabbit hole goes much deeper than this. We as homeopaths know this. I will simplify things, lets say their is a female wanting to be pregnant but she is aware of certain qualities of hers, perhaps she is  aware that:


1.) she has anger

2.) she is stuborn

3.) fault finding

4.) moody

5.) selfish

6.) suffers depression

ALL this emotional stress the mother feels will get transferred to the child while she is pregnant.  And the child has no choice in the matter because they are inside and connected to their mother. They have to feel this trauma, there is no escape route from mom until they are born. They will be born with emotional imprints, of depression, anger, and unhappiness.

Do you want an example of how poor emotional health and lifestlye can affect a child?

Jane Doe is pregnant. Jane Doe smokes, drinks (alcoholic), eats junk food, never exercises, suffers from depression, has loads of anger toward men, is racked with guilt, and she doesn’t love herself.

The child is born premature, with a low I.Q, learning disabilities, asthma, unhappiness, and a autoimmune disease to go with it ! And after birth, the picture doesn’t exactly brighten. The child grows up inhaling second hand smoke, and lives off a diet of macaroni and cheese, spam, kool aid, canned vegetables, frosted flakes, lucky charms, and flintstone vitamins. When we abuse our selves and our body, our child will be born with unhealthy pre existing conditions. Not all of them will be physically visible. Many of them will be emotional.

In today’s age this is considered child abuse, and in twenty years from now, having a child without the necessary emotional readiness and health will be considered child abuse.

This child now has to UNDO all the damage her mother inflicted upon her when she was pregnant plus on top of all that has to heal her own emotional stress that is specific to her life.

Should women procreate given this information?

Yes of course. Evolution is a steady slow pace, and it is not everyones life purpose or desire to clear ALL their baggage prior to pregnancy. Here are some tips about what you can do during pregnancy to ensure the child is born with a positive head start:

1.) Spend as much time consciously connecting to your child, tell them that you love them, what kind of life you plan for them, how much adventure they will have, how much you will honor all that they are. Do this daily

2.) Practice meditation, this will train your mind to focus on neutral or positive thoughts, for negative ones will impact your child

3.) Breathe deeply and eat healthy, toss away self destructive addictive habits

4.) Focus on having positive relations with your spouse, again, any kind of arguing will affect your child

5.) Learning how to properly communicate. This means learning how to communicate without blame or guilt. How you speak to your child when they are born will affect their self worth. No child deserves to be blamed, shamed, or given guilt trips. My advice is to study: Marshall Rosenbergs course on “non violent communication “. The wisdom to take from this post is to understand the enormous responsibility of bringing a child into this life. Just because a biological clock is ticking doesn’t mean that having a child is for your best and highest interest, your childs, humanitie’s or Earths. We need to be fully aware and conscious of what this entails. Children have the divine right for happiness, and it is so important to assess how much love you are capable of giving them. IF you do not love yourself that much, you will not be able to give anything to a child.

Understanding Braxton Hicks Contractions

What are Braxton Hicks contractions?
Braxton Hicks contractions are sporadic uterine contractions that start about 6 weeks into your pregnancy, although you won’t be able to feel them that early. You probably won’t start to notice them until sometime after mid-pregnancy, if you notice them at all. (Some women don’t.) They get their name from John Braxton Hicks, an English doctor who first described them in 1872.

As your pregnancy progresses, Braxton Hicks contractions tend to come somewhat more often, but until you get to your last few weeks, they’ll probably remain infrequent, irregular, and essentially painless. Sometimes, though, Braxton Hicks contractions are hard to distinguish from early signs of preterm labor.

Play it safe and don’t try to make the diagnosis yourself. If you haven’t hit 37 weeks yet and you’re having more than four contractions in an hour — or you have any other signs of preterm labor (see below) — call your caregiver immediately.

By the time you’re within a couple of weeks of your due date, your contractions may get more intense and more frequent, and they may cause some discomfort. Unlike the earlier painless and sporadic Braxton Hicks contractions, which caused no obvious cervical changes, these contractions may help your cervix “ripen” — gradually soften and thin out (efface) and maybe even dilate a bit. This period is sometimes referred to as pre-labor.

How can I tell the difference between Braxton Hicks and true labor contractions?
In the days or weeks before labor, Braxton Hicks contractions may intermittently become rhythmic, relatively close together, and even painful, possibly fooling you into thinking you’re in labor. But unlike true labor, during this so-called false labor the contractions don’t grow consistently longer, stronger, and closer together.

What can I do if my Braxton Hicks contractions are making me uncomfortable?
If you’re within a few weeks of your due date, try these measures:

  • Change your activity or position. Sometimes walking provides relief. At other times, resting eases contractions. (True labor contractions, on the other hand, will persist and progress regardless of what you do.)
    Take a warm bath to help your body relax.
    Try drinking a couple of glasses of water, since these contractions can sometimes be brought on by dehydration.
    Try relaxation exercises or slow, deep breathing. This won’t stop the Braxton Hicks contractions, but it may help you cope with the discomfort. (Use this opportunity to practice some of the pain-management strategies you’ve learned in your childbirth preparation class.)

When should I call my doctor or midwife?
Call your caregiver right away if you haven’t reached 37 weeks and your contractions are becoming more frequent, rhythmic, or painful, or if you have any of these possible signs of preterm labor:

Abdominal pain, menstrual-like cramping, or more than four contractions in an hour (even if they don’t hurt)
Any vaginal bleeding or spotting
An increase in vaginal discharge or a change in the type of discharge — if it becomes watery, mucusy, or bloody (even if it’s only pink or blood-tinged)
Increased pelvic pressure (a feeling that your baby’s pushing down)
Low back pain, especially if it’s a new problem for you
If you’re past 37 weeks, there’s no need to call your doctor or midwife just for contractions until they last about 60 seconds each and are five minutes apart — unless your caregiver has advised you otherwise.

Health and Happiness are the Same Thing

Denis Leary : “ Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your wife leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get re-married, you owe ten million dollars in medical bills but you work hard for thirty-five years and you pay it back and then — one day — you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation and regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then — one day — you step off a curb at Sixty-seventh Street, and BANG you get hit by a city bus and then you die. Maybe.

Ok, so maybe it ain’t that bad. But you have to admit, you ain’t happy either. Sure you don’t suffer from clinical depression, or any serious illness. But something happened along the way, that just made you say

Life Kinda Sucks

Technically there is nothing to complain about ……….. technically. The sun rises, you eat, the kids are fed, the garbage gets taken out, you recycle, the sex is amicable, and food still tastes good. But you still feel irritated inside.  People either bore or annoy you, life seems mundane, predictable, and nothing really seems to inspire you to reach for something more meaningful. It seems a lot easier to get through the day, than seize the day.

Happiness and satisfaction can be created by reaching for greater levels of health, because health and happiness are the samething. I am not talking about being free of disease, or aches and pains, or being able to swiftly get through the day. I am talking about real health, the kind of health where your muscles are toned and strong, your posture is perfect and aligned, you have the ability to withstand the elements, climb the tallest mountains, and breathe fully and deeply at all times. Feeling vibrant and unstoppable, like Barack Obama on his campaign trail.

The majority of the population never get to FEEL this way ……..ever.

When the body is happy the mind is happy. Why? Because the body is connected to the mind, they are separate but ONE at the sametime. If you want to increase your levels of satisfaction start by greatly improving your health. Start by taking better care of your body. I guarantee your levels of happiness have to improve. You can’t have one without the other, it’s like salt with pepper, yin with yang, peas with potatos, and Cheech with Chong.  Have a glorious and happy filled day.

Best Natural Remedies for Postpartum Depression

Postpardum depression is a mild and transitory moodiness suffered by up to 80% of postnatal women. Symptoms typically last from a few hours to several days, and include tearfulness, irritability, hypochondriasis, sleeplessness, impairment of concentration, feelings of isolation and headache. The maternity blues are not the same thing as postpartum depression, nor are they a precursor to postpartum depression or postnatal psychosis

Some symptoms include:

  • Sadness
  • Hopelessness
  • Low self-esteem
  • Guilt
  • A feeling of being overwhelmed
  • Sleep and eating disturbances
  • Inability to be comforted
  • Exhaustion
  • Emptiness
  • Low or no energy
  • Becoming easily frustrated
  • Feeling inadequate in taking care of the baby
  • Impaired speech and writing
  • Spells of anger towards others
  • Increased anxiety or panic attacks

 

I would recommend the following Bach Flower remedy formula:

There seems to be a 2 week period before the “rubber hits the road” in terms of seeing CHANGE with bach flowers.

  • Gorse
  • Sweet Chestnut
  • White Chestnut

 

  • Bach flowers work on the emotional sphere. The remedies work with our energy, and it is our energy that attracts or repels what happens to us on a daily basis. Bach is similiar to homeopathy in that it is an energetic medicine. The three main differences are, strength, action, and source.  Bach flowers are only made from flowers, they only work on the emotional sphere and are more gentle in their action.The effect is gentle over a period of time, and is ideal for people in vulnerable sensitive states.

Yin Yoga During Pregnancy: Preparation for Labour

All mothers know that going through the process of labour can be a very intense and painful process. It challenges the body in ways we never knew were possible. So it is really important to prepare the body physically for such an experience. Today we are going to explore how to strengthen the muscle tissue, increase the health of the connective tissues of the body so that women can develop core body strength and stamina for labour.


I would like to introduce you to YIN YOGA. A very passive, gentle, feminine style of Yoga, that penetrates deep layers of connective tissue and held trauma to really open the body up and develop core strength. It truly is the best form of yoga pregnant women can take.

Yin Yoga is a slower, calmer method of yoga that targets the joints, ligaments and fascia tissue in the body. It is a natural, non-pharmaceutical method of rejuvenating your joints!

Most of us are more familiar with the Yang style of yoga which is faster paced and focuses on strengthening, stretching, and sweating. Yang yoga reigns over the muscular body. Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Bikram, Power, and many forms of Hatha are all considered Yang Yoga. Because of its warm, active qualities, Yang is most often associated with the sun; therefore, a solar practice.

Yin Yoga is concerned with the cooler, slower aspects. Yin yoga separates itself from muscular practice and settles into the firmer, less flexible areas of the body. The deeper, internal practice of Yin is often linked with the Moon, a lunar practice.

Of course no practice is exclusively Yin or Yang, you will always use the joint tissue in a Yang practice, and some muscular energy in a Yin, but the primary focus is different. Just like the Yin Yang symbol there is a tiny bit of one style in the heart of its opposite.

Postures are held for many minutes allowing deep opening to occur, and a powerful letting go process results. This is essential for labour, as we learn to allow and relax our body, women can deliver a baby without excessive pain or struggle. It is meant to bring back birthing to it’s natural and flowing state. For more information on Yin Yoga you can visit the Moksha Yoga website, they offer a Yin style of Yoga in most of their locations.

Libido: Has your Giddy-Up, Gotten up and Gone?

You knew there was a reason why you kept going to that newspaper stand everyday sharp at 4pm. You knew there was some inner frenzy within you wanting it to be four o’clock everyday, but lately you can’t remember why you go anymore.

then he saunters by………….

and you remember how you used to feel when you saw

  • his five o clock stubble gleaning off his chiseled face
  • his round and inviting biceps wanting you to squeeze them
  • his puckered full lips, and how nicely they would nurse themselves around your curvy breasts
  • firm soft hands ready at your whim to massage every crevice of muscle tissue on your body
  • and as your gaze slides downward you can only imagine the thrusting power of his gluteal muscles

But now…….

It’s just some shmuck in jeans, that needs a shave. Sigh.

Something needs to be done, but what kind of  help do women get for low libido? Isn’t that kind of thing just for men? You want the sex drive back without having to be one of those people, that has to resort to trips to the pharmacy just have  ”gusto” again.

You aren’t old and frigid for heavens sakes! Is there some sort of sane, and natural way, to get help, without side effects, and horror stories?

Yes there is. There are many healthy ways to bring back libido. There are foods, herbs, and even homeopathic remedies to help. I have expert ways of helping women feel sexual and alive again. You are worth it, and so is your sex life.

It’s Not in Your Head, It’s in Your Thyroid!

Do you recognize the woman in the mirror? Did she have more hair on her head than yesterday? Did it seem like her hair was also thicker, and had more colour? It seemed she did, but you can’t be sure, after all, aren’t we supposed to lose 100 hair strands daily? And isn’t this a natural process of becoming older? BUT, the woman yesterday also seemed thinner, happier, and more energetic. Was it in her head?

 

 It wasn’t in her head, it was in her thyroid!

Many people think that feeling this way is just a normal consequence of living in a standard North Amercian society. With all the stresses, new rampant viruses from the latest farm animal going around. Vaporized, homogenized, pasterized, darth vador glow in the dark foods. Chemical laden air, conspiracy theories, cellulite, bad T.V, and on top of all that we have…………………….. brangelina!!

Why should we expect to feel anything but …………..terrible.

Women are not meant to live life like the easy breezy cover girl,  but life it isn’t meant to be totally depressing either.

Our hormone levels affect every single facet of our body’s functions. This includes our menstrual cycle. All eager to be mothers have been educated at nauseum about the importance of having a regular menstrual cycle. An imbalance in thyroid hormones sets off a cascade of problems for a woman’s ovulation cycle.

It spells out very clearly in a woman’s mind:

No regular menstrual cycle, no baby

Thyroid especially hypothyroid can be corrected with the right diet, and homeopathic remedy. It doesn’t have to be rocket science. It doesn’t have to be a lifetime crutch, or a sentence to “doomsville”. Yes, the thyroid can be brought right back into balance where it belongs. I do it the natural way!

Call me today and let’s work this out together, and get your pregnancy on the right track.
