Sleep and Pregnancy and Homeopathy

I remember when I started struggling to sleep towards the end of my pregnancy, and kept on being told it was practice for what was to come.
Harsh, but not true.
It’s the time you need sleep.
Your body is working so hard, and it needs to rest and recuperate.
So sleep issues can cause a lot of stress.
And of course be caused by it too.
Here’s some of my tips with how homeopathy can help for acute sleep issues.
Chronic issues, that have been around a while, will need a closer look at by a professional homeopath.
