Here's another Pink Kit story. This woman has used The Pink Kit for 2 of her 4 births.
Wintergreen,
I wanted to write you at least briefly to let you know I witnessed yet another amazing pink kit birth.
My sister in law J's 4th baby, Anthony, was born a little over a month ago. She labored so well that the attending nurse didn't even realize she was giving birth until his head was already halfway out. He was born within 2 hours of labor beginning, was 9lb 11 oz at birth and came out with one fist up by his head (fist of power ? =). She had just a very minor scrape. The Pink Kit skills were an absolutely integral part of her extremely effective labor. She prepped for birth using the PK skills she already had, during labor we used various pk exercises to relax her pelvis between contractions, I regularly reminded her about the exercise in plumbing and her teamwork with the baby to get him out as efficiently as possible was awesome.
We thank you & the Pink Kit yet again!

This Woman 'Gets' That Birth Is Birth.
8 July 2009
I've been having a correspondence with a wonderful woman who has two parts of herself. She really believes that every family should have the best skills for themselves in pregnancy, childbirth and parenting ... without judgment. The other part of her is directed toward 'alternatives' ... which in some ways excludes many families who do not want anything alternative!
Recently she went to a conference and wrote me after that.
I see now, after the {conference} training what you were trying to get through my head the first time we talked.
Birth is birth, like you said, it's going to happen whether we like it or not. And accepting birth in this way leaves no room for judgment! And this is extremely important in regards to the various amount of issues that can occur during the childbearing year. I get it!!!
I believe the same in regards to bonding with your baby, whether natural/hospital birth, breastfeeding/bottlefeeding, stollers or baby wraps/slings - everyone wants a strong and healthy bond with their baby. And everyone has the right to bond with their baby in the ways they feel are comfortable. We simply teach the ways that have been proven to increase the family bond with new baby and we try to create new ways for mother, father and baby to bond in many different situations.
I would like to work with you more and have lots on my plate right now but first let's schedule a weekly meeting like you proposed.
Hopefully she and I will work together more closely
