If you’re opting for a natural birth without pharmaceutical
pain relief then a herbal medicine birthing plan may be of interest to you.
Herbs in the early stages of childbirth can help regulate contractions, ward
off exhaustion and soothe pain, and they can also be used after birth to assist
delivery of the placenta, soothe the perineum, assist with after-pains and
promote the flow of breast milk.
However, certain herbs are not safe to take during pregnancy
and breastfeeding, so it is important that you speak to a qualified herbalist. Dr
Lois Bradnam specializes in women’s problems, infertility and pregnancy and
has appointments available on Mondays between 3 and 7 pm. You can even pop in
for a free, no obligation 15-minute chat
to see if herbal medicine is for you!
