Use Your Birth Coaching Skills Even If There Are Complications
When there are medical complications during the birth often fathers-to-be and mothers-to-be become very passive while childbirth procedures are done. This is not what you should be doing.
Giving birth is a journey ... not from A to B in distance but from X to Y in Time. Giving birth is an activity you and your birthing partner are doing with your baby. Since giving birth is such a unique Life experience that being passive leaves mothers-to-be and fathers-to-be feeling detached by the experience particularly if there are medical complications. This leaves both men and women feeling that birth is surreal.
Birthing Better with The Pink Kit Method® evolved in the early 1970s by families like yours. They wanted birth and birth coaching skills that worked in any birth that unfolded. They realistically knew they could not control what happened but they could control what they 'did'.
Using skills between X and Y is what they did. They didn't wait until birth became difficult nor did they stop when there were medical complications.
In reality, we are going to breathe no matter what and our body will be in some place ... this means using breathing and relaxation skills will keep both of you focused, grounded, close to one another, less anxious, more able to face what is happening and connected to your baby.
Birth Coaching skills are essential for you to use to help your birthing partner go through whatever is happening when there are medical complications. She will forever be grateful to you.
And your birth providers will really praise you. They know that childbirth complications require more fiddling. They still want you to have a good birth. When you use your Birth Coaching skills to help your birthing partner remain calm they gratefully appreciate it too. Childbirth complications should never prevent you from using your Birth Coaching skills
