I have wanted to sit down and write this post for a couple of weeks. I can’t believe how time flies with a new baby around but it does. Between taking time off to just enjoying lying in with my newborn, visiting family members, and then trying to get into a new routine with a [...]
We’ve been working on our Pink Kit “routines” pretty much every night – give or a take a few But we’ve been working it consistently.
One of our Pink Kit techniques – the Hip Lift – has been really helpful during pregnancy. I have had some pain in my right hip my last three [...]
Ahhhhhh. What a lovely section of the Pink Kit’s Essential Preparations the Massage and Body Care chapter was. I can deal with any childbirth course that tells my man to give me a massage. Of course having the instructions in our course materials doesn’t mean my fellow will actually give me a massage but… I [...]
I’ve promised in the last couple of Pink Kit work posts that I’d talk about the Internal Work. I wanted to get at least a week of it done and with being busy last week we’ve been doing the work about two weeks now.
The internal work is sort of like perineal massage, which you may [...]
Moving along in our Pink Kit work we did our next video section, which talks about how tension and relaxation can influence and affect the course of your baby’s birthing.
This section felt pretty familiar. After reading through New Focus and having gotten through most of the video I’ve learned a whole lot about relaxation [...]
I’m a little bit behind on writing about our Pink Kit work. We’ve done two more sections of the video and we’ve also started the “internal work” – which is done daily until baby comes. I’ll write about that in another post.
In this post I’ll write a bit about one of the [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
