What types of child birth information is available on line?

As a pregnant woman you have probably borrowed from friends, been given, gone to bookstores or libraries looking for child birth information.

The Pink Kit Method for birthing better™ is new and old

Although The Pink Kit Method child birth education video and child birth books are new to most people, that’s only because it takes such a long time to develop resources that can be sold. The evolution of The Pink Kit Method occurred in the 1970s when child birth education focused on the child birth skills pregnant women need for labor and delivery and the birth coach skills birth partners and fathers to be need.

The Pink Kit Method is ancient because the child birth skills you can now teach yourself in the privacy of your own home, help each pregnant woman understand her universal human body and how to prepare that body for giving birth.

Surely The Pink Kit Method is merely just the same child birth education already available?

Actually, The Pink Kit Method is an entirely unique and different approach to preparing for labor and delivery. Exampling the difference between The Pink Kit Method and other types of child birth education classes such as The Bradley Method, Lamaze, Parent Centre (NZ), NCEA (Australia) or NCT (UK) is always different. Each of those systems are different from one another as well.

The Pink Kit Method focuses entirely on our birthing body.

• Pregnant women and their birth partner can find lots of child birth information elsewhere.
• Pregnant women and their birth partner will make a birth plan based on their individual needs and the availability of child birth choices in their local area.
• Pregnant women and the father to be can easily read about the stages of labor in any child birth book.
• Pregnant women and the father to be can learn simple breathing and relaxation techniques for labor and delivery.
• Pregnant women and their birth support can learn about birth positions which might help in labor and delivery.

The Pink Kit Method does none of the above. Why repeat what is already available?

How can there be an entirely new and different type of child birth education?

Child birth education has changed significantly since the 1980s. In the 1970s most child birth education focused on birth and birth coach skills. Fathers were just being permitted into the labour and delivery room. Couples focused on breathing and rag doll relaxation. In the 1980s child birth education focused more on giving parents to be childbirth information so that they could make choices to suit their birth plan. Birth plans became a vital part of preparing for birth and letting your doctor or midwife what you would want or not want in birth. However, most childbirth education classes reduced the amount of time they spent on teaching breathing and relaxation skills.

Pregnant women and fathers to be were frequently told that child birth breathing skills were not necessary since women breathed all the time. A commonly held belief stated that the birth plans pregnant women made could be coupled with an intuitive or instinctive approach to child birth.

The Pink Kit Method continued to evolve universal child birth preparation skills. For example,  every woman in labour does breathe, however, there are positive ways to breathe. There are also ways that women in labour breathe that indicates to her birth partner, birth support or birth coach that she is not coping with the pain of the labor contractions.

• It makes common sense for women in labor to develop positive breathing while experiencing the natural pain of child birth.
• It makes common sense for the birth coach, birth support to be able to hear the type of breathing women in labor use when they aren’t coping well … and be able to help her regain her positive breathing.

There are four cornerstones of The Pink Kit Method for birthing better™

A universal approach to childbirth education also takes into account the fact that women and men share the same human body. Mothers to be and fathers to be have the same number of bones and muscles. Both mothers to be and fathers to be create tension and relaxation in the same way. A universal approach to childbirth education means that fathers to be become as skilled as mothers to be.

The four cornerstones are:

• Get to know your universal birthing body. Learn how to create space for your baby and inner relaxation. (First cornerstone)
• Prepare your birth canal. (Second cornerstone)
• Manage your labor and work with your birth coach. (Third cornerstone)
• Breathing, Language and Touch skills. (Fourth cornerstone)

Child birth is multi-dimensional. You have to learn a number of important skills. Learning many skills all at once is part of Life.

Learning many skills at once is familiar to us all:

When you learned to drive a car, you had to learn many, many small yet different and equally important skills. Then you had to show an examiner that you could put all those skills together. Labor and delivery is your driving test. When you drive a car it’s not just about holding on to a steering wheel, using a gas or brake pedal. Every time you drive you car, you multi-task all the time AND you have to pay attention. When you use positive driving behaviours you are less likely to have a traumatic experience. When you use bad driving behaviour, you put your car, your self and others at risk.

The Pink Kit Method is your personal driving course for labor and delivery
