'At first, I walked on egg shells, certain that the smallest thing would cause a problem. That was with our first IVF baby. Then I became a parent and discovered…a baby is a baby. The next time we got pregnant, again IVF, we used The Pink Kit. I wasn’t going to miss being involved this time since we were only planning 2 children. We had the most wonderful experience preparing and working through labor. Won’t you know, I got pregnant 6 months later. We got to refine our experience again.’

The only thing different about IVF babies is how they are conceived, other than that, they are still babies, you are still a pregnant woman, your partner is still a parent-to-be and now it’s time to normalize your experience. This will help you feel more relaxed as a parent. Sometimes in this modern world, people lump one medical issue with another. Conception, pregnancy, labour and giving birth are closely related. Having health issues can impact these phases of our life. However, in many ways these reproductive issues are separate. Women with endometriosis can have normal pregnancies and normal deliveries. Women who have terrible pregnancies can have great births. Women who had difficult births can be healthy. Women who have had difficulty conceiving can be healthy and have wonderful births. Everything about my monthly cycle, my difficulty conceiving, the 3 miscarriage I had just had a terrible emotional impact on me and my family. Our first attempt at IVF produced a pregnancy. My doctor tied my cervix closed early in my pregnancy to prevent a 2nd trimester miscarriage and I carried to term. I had always imagined that I was built to have babies and saw myself as a real Earth Mother. Nothing about my reproductive life had lived up to my private image. My sister gave us The Pink Kit. It was just what I needed. Down to earth information that helped me prepare for birth. Our doctor was a darling and told us to see ourselves as just ordinary pregnant parents-to-be. He wanted us to try for a vaginal birth and reassured us that he would be there if a problem came up. Well I certainly couldn't have imagined what happened. I actually went two weeks past my due date after he took out the cervical stitches. I actually had to be induced. He put in a vaginal pessery of prostaglanin and told us to talk a walk downtown and come back in a few hours and he'd check my cervix. Well, 20 minutes later I was in full blown labour. My labour lasted all of 2 1/2 hours and thanks to The Pink Kit's internal work which we loved doing, I had 3 pushes and our son flew out. Boy was I surprised and I loved being the Earth Mother I knew I could be'.

‘After 5 attempts to get pregnant, finally we did. By then we were frazzled. Using The Pink Kit calmed us'.

The best thing about The Pink Kit is that I finally had a more important role rather than just a seed donor'.

‘The artificial conception took a huge toll on both my wife and me, but probably in different ways. I felt very angry while she felt very depressed when she'd bleed after another failed attempt. A friend gave us The Pink Kit to work through BEFORE our last attempt. She felt that we had to change our mental and emotional direction. She also forced us to confront the alienation that was causing stress, so we used The Pink Kit to explore my wife's body. It brought us much closer. We could actually laugh, enjoy and cry together. We also noticed that whenever my wife started to think about the failed attempts that her body got so tense. The next attempt didn't take either but after that we decided to adopt and we now have 3 beautiful children. There is no doubt that The Pink Kit helped us birth our children'.

‘Without The Pink Kit, I think we would have stayed in that head space you have to be in while going through IVF treatments. It does produce tension. Thankfully we bought the kit and took the time. We’re better parents because of that.’
