Homeopathic pregnancy care offers individualized remedies to manage discomforts like nausea, leg cramps, and anxiety, aiming to support overall well-being throughout gestation and labor. Common remedies include Arnica (soreness), Pulsatilla (moodiness), and Caulophyllum (uterine support). Consult a qualified homeopath for tailored care, which should complement standard obstetric medical care.
