Guest guest Posted January 24, 2006 Report Share Posted January 24, 2006 I have a 32 year old woman 42wks and 5days pregnant. This is her first pregnancy, so not so unusual to go a little bit over term, but this is excessive. Has been doing moderate exercise to try and start labour, Had curryes,and having " lots of sex " V. independent lady planning on a home birth. Has had a lovely healthy pregnancy, and feels absolutely fine. At 42wks & 1day, she came to me and I gave her Cimicifuga racemosa 70 Rubus idaeus 30 100ml Sig 5ml Qid No response, except maybe less Braxton-Hicks sensations. At 42wks & 4days Plan B Artemisia absinthium 20 Michella repens 30 Rubus idaeus 35 Cimicifuga racemosa 20 105ml Sig 10ml every ½ hour. No response at all. She has had two sweeps, so far. She is on her way for another scan, and asked me to think of a Plan C. Has anyone got any ideas!!! I would have used Artemisia vulgaris in larger quantities, but couldn't get my hands on any quickly, so cautiously used A. absinthium. I was wondering if I should try her on higher dose of A. absinthium, since I have frequently given much higher doses when treating intestinal worms, but feeling unsure about using that approach with a pregnant patient. Was also wondering if I got A. vulgaris I could give more? That is if they let her out of hospital today. I would appreciate any comments at all, & will keep you posted.
