If there is no pain, the pregnant woman is woken up with Secale Cornutum 3 or 5 every quarter and a half hour.
If in spite of having pains the dilation is not done, the Secale Cornutum is alternated with 2nd or 3rd pulsatilla with intervals of a quarter of an hour, if it is necessary to gain time lost by a sustained inertia.
If it is observed that the pregnant woman is nervous, a spoonful of Chamomilla 5ª is administered from time to time; once dilation has been achieved by the action of the pulsatilla, as long as the bag of water does not break, Secale Cornutum can and should be administered, alternately, in order to cause pains that make the birth walk, without the sick woman intervening at all; circumstances that prevent her from losing useless strength, relief from the midwife, who ceases in an incessant rattle, because her mission has as its obligation the graphic demonstration of always doing something, although, generally, everything she strives to do, gives no other result than her own tiredness.
Once the dilation has been achieved with the pulse and everything is going well, the doses of "Secale Cornutum" are continued so that the pains do not fail, until the rupture of the bag of waters occurs: the two re-means are removed to give arnica 6ª as soon as the foetus is expelled, every three, every five, etc., minutes, according to the conditions of robustness of the patient; having her arnica prepared beforehand, so as not to lose any of the conditions of opportunity.
Knowing the effects of the "Secale Cornutum" and the advantages of its administration, one must be alert to give the sick woman still some doses of this remedy if when expelling the foetus she needs her last minute help, because she does not have the required pains at this solemn moment, when she cannot invent them exhausted.
We said that, immediately after the child leaves the maternal cloister, arnica 6a should be administered every three, five or more minutes of interval, according to what can be noticed as abnormal in the woman in labor; that is to say, much blood, tendency to dizziness or fainting, sleep or manifestations of wanting to sleep; none of this should be consented and only hurrying the doses of arnica 6a all dangers are conjured up, without precedent of never failing and with all the advantages of its pathogenesis pointed out and those that follow.
For fifteen or twenty minutes after the birth of the child, while the sixth arnica is administered in the forms already indicated to the mother (and she is not constantly observed), the midwife takes care of the child's manipulations; she cuts the umbilical cord at the same time, after the child has breathed or shouted, she ties the cord; It wraps the child to take care of the mother's hygiene; and rare phenomenon will be that the dose of 6th arnica that the mother has been taking during this time, will not result in the complete expulsion of the placenta (the pair), which will be at the outer end of the vagina.
