That’s right … there are ‘right’ birth skills as compared to no birth skills or ones that don’t work or adjust to changed circumstances.
The question you might be asking is this? Does giving birth require skills at all? From the viewpoint of families who learned, practiced and used the right birth and birth coaching skills they will say … YES! Actually they will say … ESSENTIAL. In fact they will say … FOR EVERY BIRTH!
Why are there right skills compared to not right ones? Not right skills are ones that don’t work in every type of birth. Strong statement but that’s the reality of all skills. Right skills for any task or activity have to work reasonable well, adjust and adapt, can be refined and feel good to use.
Right birth and birth coaching skills should just be the norm of every one’s pregnancy and birth. They make common sense. Is The Pink Kit the only ‘right skills’. No and yes. First they were developed by hundreds of families so they had better work. They are based on what our shared human body actually does and how it responses which means we can share a common body language. They are adaptable in every situation so you never have to feel they fail you or are useless.
And they work with all other skills!
In the mid1970s families were actively told by very famous authors that childbirth is so natural that women don’t need skills and fathers should merely support a woman’s choice. This is shear nonsense. Why should an infrequent, dynamic activity such as birthing our children be reduced to happening to us? BirthingBetter families absolutely wanted the right skills that they could use in order to work through their baby’s birth journey.
