As I flipped through the current issue of Mothering Magazine I noticed an article on birth fears. I found that ironic because as my own baby’s birth gets closer and closer I’ve been taking the time to examine my own birth fears, and I was planning to share that with you.
It is not an [...]

Tackling a Tough Room
August 28, 2008 – 4:01 pm
One of my biggest goals has been to get the house organized before the baby comes. I used it as an example in an article on how to set goals because it was something I’ve been working with actively. I’m really pleased to say that most of my organizing is done and I [...]
Creating Room in the Pelvis
August 27, 2008 – 10:35 am
We’ve done the next section of our Pink Kit video. It actually took us two nights to get through because we started a bit late (both nights!) and were tired.
It was another very interesting lesson, however. We went through several techniques for creating more room in the pelvis by manipulating the bones of the pelvis [...]
Two backdated Pink Kit posts
August 25, 2008 – 3:41 pm
I did make the entries for the two Pink Kit sessions we’ve done so far that I didn’t get the chance to write about. Things have gotten better since my rough week and I got the PK work written out for you!
I backdated the entries so they show up at the time we did [...]
Every Two Weeks
August 21, 2008 – 3:56 pm
Baby is starting to seem more and more real. Starting from our appointment last night we’ll be seeing the midwife every two weeks now. That’s crazy! How did I get so far along?! Where have the past few months gone? Hah! More on the appointment later.
Anyways, I’ve been scarce lately. Scott and I have done [...]
Positions for Labor and Birth
August 19, 2008 – 3:31 pm
We’re continuing on through the Pink Kit video and Essential Preparations book. I’ve enjoyed learning about myself and getting ready for the birth through this.
Our latest section was on positions for labor and birth. This is a really vital topic. Many natural childbirth education courses cover it. The Pink Kit difference [...]
Faliure and Frustration
August 15, 2008 – 8:33 am
These are two feelings that mothers feel a whole lot. And there’s not much anybody can say to take them away.
I wish that I could say that I’ve come to a place in my mothering where I’m not effected by feelings of failure but I can’t. In fact, right now I’m dealing with [...]
The Bony Pelvis
August 14, 2008 – 3:19 pm
It’s a little intimidating to think about a baby coming through your pelvis. Yet it happens, and it happens pretty efficiently. Understanding just how that occurs is part of any childbirth education class - the Pink Kit just takes it a little further. In our PK session on the structure of the [...]
Starting the Pink Kit Video
August 12, 2008 – 10:05 am
We started the Pink Kit DVD, and I’m really glad. I’ve been looking forward to this part of the kit, which has a bit of a more “multimedia” and interactive feel. I’m completely spoiled by a multi-media world :p
It’s also good because we get to see women using the techniques we read about. [...]
Here? Here? Touch in Labor
August 7, 2008 – 4:47 pm
Moving along through the Pink Kit Scott and I are looking into “touch” during labor this week. We’re also starting the DVD and PK main book Essential Preparations for Your Birthing Body, which I have finished the intro reading within but I’m not sure Scott has :p We’re planning to start the DVD tomorrow [...]
