Are you looking for a homeopathic cure for complaints during LABOR? This article discusses the homeopathy treatment of complaints during LABOR along with the best homeopathic medicine for complaints during LABOR treatment.
Labor is a physiologic process during which the products of conception (i.e, the fetus, membranes, umbilical cord, and placenta) are expelled outside of the uterus.
The onset of labor is defined as regular, painful uterine contractions resulting in progressive cervical effacement and dilatation.
Usually, labor and delivery occur without any problems. Serious problems are relatively rare, and most can be anticipated and treated effectively. However, problems sometimes develop suddenly and unexpectedly.
Problems may involve
The timing of labor—whether labor occurs earlier or later than normal
Labor may start
- Too early (preterm): Before the 37th week of pregnancy
- Late (postterm): After the 42nd week of pregnancy
- Labor that progresses too slowly
In such cases, the health or life of the fetus may be endangered.
- Some problems (complications) that women develop during pregnancy can cause problems during labor or delivery. For example, preeclampsia (high blood pressure with protein in the urine) may lead to premature detachment of the placenta from the uterus (placental abruption) and problems in the newborn.
Cesarean delivery
Some problems occur immediately after delivery of the fetus, around the time the placenta is delivered. They include
- Excessive uterine bleeding at delivery
- A uterus that is turned inside out (inverted uterus)
- Uterine rupture
- Fetal distress, respiratory distress in the newborn, and uterine rupture are uncommon complications of labor.
