Pink Kit Birth Stories From Dads Who Were At Good Births
We love photos. Other
dads want to know how The Pink Kit enriched your already good birth
experiences.
‘I can’t say I had anything to do with my wife’s good birth of our daughter. She didn’t have a long labour and labor didn’t appear too painful compared to how my sister talked about the birth of my nephew. That confused me, how could one woman have just a good time and the other such a horrible one. I guess The Pink Kit did several things for me. One, I was more involved even though the birth of our second daughter was easier. Second, I felt more comfortable to support my wife if this birth wasn’t as easy. Third, I understood more about why these two women I loved had such different experiences.

‘Our good birth was due to the work we put into our preparation with The Pink Kit. It had nothing to do with how long or pain the birth was or what was happening around us. Our good birth was about us and how well we worked together to bring forth our child.’
F. Hanon … father in UK
'Anything you can do, as a man and husband, to help your wife have a better birth, do it. If your wife tells you to do The Internal Work with her and don't think about sex, then just do it. If you're embarrassed that you're doing it, don't tell anyone. Frankly, I just felt it was my responsibility although I didn't know what I was actually doing. In labour, all the work we did together paid off. When I saw our daughter born into my hands, I can tell you I was pretty proud of how I had made certain my wife could open up to let such a big object out. My advice to other fathers: It's your responsibility as well. I know I'm a better father and husband now and I'm a better man.'

'This stuff is so, so easy for guys to understand! Its sort of like plumbing; if the baby gets stuck, just move this bit here and off we go again. Very practical, hands on information. It should be called 'The Birth Tool kit for Men'.
Jimmy D … Practical sort of bloke
‘My concept of a good birth had more to do with it being quick or my partner not looking like she was in too much pain. No one explained to me that a good birth also had to do with her being aware of what was happening inside, her ability to consciously respond and control her responses or that it had anything to do with our relationship and my ability to coach her. By using The Pink Kit, I was much more aware of the internal choices she was making at any moment. I could see those fleeting moments when she found the sensations too much yet chose a positive response. This time I could help her stay in that positive behaviour. I could hear when the intensity reached a peak then work with her breath and relaxation. It’s like my senses truly attuned to her. This time, WE had a good birth rather than SHE had a good birth.’
Gary P … Father of 4
'I’d have loved to be pregnant and my wife wasn’t so keen. I leaped in and did the work and she was sort of passive. I’ll never really understand that, but she certainly appreciated my interest, even if it was a bit much. Boy, her body was prepared thanks to The Pink Kit. It was fascinating. Her eldest sister had had a terrible birth and her other sister had had a still born. Looking back, I just think she was afraid. Her labour was very quick. We barely got to the hospital. I was trying to settle her down. She just turned to me and said: ‘If you want to catch this baby, you’d better get down there NOW!’ I did and our son just slipped out of her. Boy does that internal work, work. I just felt so blessed
