Evening ladies

I don't post too often but always try to keep up! I do plan to post more on mat leave - 2 weeks to go!!! Woo Hoo!

Anyway, hope you are all well and your bumps are behaving!

Anyway - my question - I am interested in taking a calcium supplement as I understand it is supposed to help with the labour pain (very little helps eh!)

I have tried researching on the net but can't find anything on when and how much to take and I think it is only on here I have read about it.

Does anyone know where I can get more info? Thanks xxx

I did this and had a 7 hour labour on gas and air only.

This was the info Glamazon gave me.
Another reason for an adequate calcium intake and for keeping calcium tablets in the medicine chest at all times is that this mineral is a pain killer par excellence. Old medical textbooks give as the treatment for the sharp stabbing pains of pleurisy-than which there are few worse-injections of calcium. Why calcium has not been used more widely in alleviating other pain remains a mystery. One physician tells me that he uses no opiates but injects one to four grams of calcium gluconate into the veins of patients suffering even excruciating pain and that relief occurs almost immediately. Although the severely ill person or one enduring a blinding headache usually cannot absorb enough calcium taken by mouth to relieve pain, a less ill person can. The migraine sufferer, for example, can be helped most by taking calcium between headaches. For years I have told people to take calcium tablets before visiting a dentist; the mineral not only helps them relax and feel less pain but makes life easier for the dentist. It has been my experience that adequate calcium usually relieves the itching of hives in a half-hour and the pain of arthritis within one to three days. Since the publication of my book on baby feeding, I have been amazed at the number of young mothers who have written or told me personally that they had experienced no pain during delivery. Invariably they have written or said, “I thought I was having gas pains when the baby was born.” Now I tell women to grab a vitamin-D capsule as soon as labor starts and to take two or three calcium tablets every hour until they are wheeled into the delivery room. Regardless of the cause of pain, calcium can usually do something to relieve it; if no relief comes, blame it on poor absorption.


I bought mine from H&B

I also took Arnica tablets after the birth and healed within 3 weeks. I only had a couple of internal stitches, no tearing and bleeding stopped after 3 weeks.

Hope this helps.

Don't come on here very often so if you want to ask anything else, please PM me.
