bach flower remedies for pregnancy and childbirth

i have been meaning to pick up some rescue remedy for a while now--i have the occasional emotional breakdown where i just can't control myself (it's the hormones) and i'm thinking it might help. anyway i just went to the main bach flower site and found that rescue remedy and walnut are good for labor:

Walnut

"For those who have definite ideals and ambitions in life and are fulfilling them, but on rare occasions are tempted to be led away from their own ideas, aims and work by the enthusiasm convictions or strong opinions of others. The remedy gives constancy and protection from outside influences."

Rescue Remedy

  • Impatiens: For those who act and think quickly, and have no patience for what they see as the slowness of others. They often prefer to work alone. Teaches empathy and understanding of and patience with others. We've found it very fast-acting in alleviating an impatient attitude and lowering stress.
  • Star of Bethlehem: For trauma and shock, whether experienced recently or in the past. Teaches the ability to recover from traumas and to integrate them into the present life.
  • Cherry Plum: For those who fear losing control of their thoughts and actions and doing things they know are bad for them or which they consider wrong. Teaches trust in one's spontaneous wisdom and the courage to follow one's path.
  • Rock Rose: For situations in which one experiences panic or terror.
  • Clematis: For those who find their lives unhappy and withdraw into fantasy worlds. They are ungrounded and indifferent to the details of everyday life. Teaches one to establish a bridge between the physical world and the world of ideas; may foster great creativity. Is also used to bring clarity and alertness to the present moment.

These combinations of Bach Flower Remedies that is especially beneficial when you find yourself in traumatic situations, such as, stress, emergencies, after getting bad news, before an exam or job interview and all other kind of situations where we suddenly lose balance mentally. The Remedies quickly get us back in our normal balance so that we calmly can deal with any situation.

i find it pretty interesting that he recommends walnut--it seems like the perfect thing, to me, but how unusual that protecting against "outside influences" trump things like pain relief, calm, anxiety help, etc. pretty cool.

anyway. that's all i had to say about that.

matt gave me his final 'top 5' name choices, so i am working on deciding them as we speak--i expect to have a name in the next day or so (though honestly i think i already have it).

yay!
