A woman of 33 years, she wants to become pregnant. For two years already, medical examination is negative, partner fine. A tall, stable, self-confident air, moving supplely, an expectant attitude with an openness, not feeling hurt. A reserve that is remarkable given her beauty. Because there are no complaints, the conversation focuses on the course of her life, intention, sensitivity. Menses is good, regular, some abdominal pain, with little blood.
"Things are going well with me, I do not suffer from it, I am a bit impatient though. It should not take too long, I think it is about time". The wish for children was always there, in the past I even wanted four. For her work she trains people, that is nice: being concretely busy, doing something for people, for someone else. Making them happy. It was a very practical study, she had no idea what she wanted to do, her mother gave this tip. Parents and sister had studied there too, and had nice stories. The social, the convivial side; a pity that I left there, but you still have to start earning. For 4 years she has had a boyfriend, they knew each other from way back. Hobbies: friends, the pub, terraces; she is crazy about her nephews and nieces. Her mother was always her great example, she is supple, not tense, ‘I think I am a born mother myself’. The family is very close-knit, three sisters, they speak to each other every day. She has never been rebellious, never went through a teenage phase. Her health is good, she has never had anything. She sleeps well, dreams are about all sorts of things, she has nightmares when she is too warm, she cannot remember them. Diet good, she can tolerate everything. Tries to drink as little alcohol as possible. More than four glasses gives a headache for 48 hours, radiating from the neck to the head. Sometimes she also has this headache before menses. The headache lasts two days, and is then constantly present; in the past it moved to the eye, now above the eye. Her daily schedule is very regular, work, shopping, TV. Aversion to lilies and gerberas, preference for hydrangeas. Mother always comes along to the consultation, ‘that is pleasant on the way’.

Series 3: Contacts are important, family and relatives are prominent, friends, convivial togetherness.
Phase 4: The wish for children has always been there, self-evident. The study that they all did at home.
Caryophyllaceae: The domestic, the self-evidence of everything, the caring, the togetherness, conviviality.
The openness, correct behaviour, an apparent superficiality but with a deeper humanistic layer, the motivation of existence, seeking anchorage in the familiar, the ‘house sparrow’, preserve the good and enjoy it (see further the article
Caryophyllaceae). We can extrapolate this to the
Caryophyllales. Proud, independent, self-confident, harmony:
Stage 10.
Prescription:
Dianthus caryophyllus MK.
Follow upIntake of the remedy is day 6 of the cycle, which normally lasts 32 days (that is, 12 days before ovulation).
After six weeks: ‘I am pregnant, you have performed a miracle’. After intake she got a bit of a sore throat, headache, slight fever (which she really never has), it lasted a few days, she even stayed home for a day. After five days she started to feel good, relaxed. She quickly began to notice she was pregnant: a bloated belly, nauseous when she gets hungry (I always had an ‘empty stomach’ feeling when I got peckish). A bit of abdominal pain, as if I am about to get my period, very slightly crampy, or as if you have to go to the toilet. Undoes a button now and then. When asked about other symptoms, and what she normally feels, she does not really know. As if she does not pay much attention to her body, ‘there are never any problems’. She sleeps well, ‘bizarre dreams’ every night, cannot remember them. A rash on her right cheek stands out now, it is rosacea, and has been there for two years already (since stopping the pill?). Mother is along again, her additions: she is the middle one of three, the most ‘weighing things up’, she is very fond of harmony, and will have nothing to do with quarreling. As a child already and still now. She very much went her own way, no follower, already in kindergarten, playing quietly by herself. ‘No thanks’, I am not joining in, she would say at parties. At school she walked around with a cuddly toy, which the other children thought nothing of, nobody did that.
Her health was always good. We are very fond of harmony, conviviality is important, being together. We love cosiness. And good food, preferably at a long table with everyone present. Little house, little tree, little animal (a cosy settled life). She is attuned to conviviality, you want to give your love. Tongue: broad, clean, light in colour, very small notches (‘indented’). She continues to do well otherwise, the birth goes fine.
She is calm, stays entirely on her own ground when mother talks about her; mother has comments to make, she herself clearly has her own opinion, but does not set it alongside. She has just as much respect for mother and her statements, her opinion, as for her own person and opinions. Because of her independence this is not an issue. Posture upright, when sitting and when walking, not rigid but gently swaying. Observant, weighing things up – but so quickly that it does not create doubt, indeed prevents tension.
