Where You'll Birth: Transfer from Home or Birth Center to Hospital

by Common Knowledge Trust (Created by)

Overview

Whether you're planning a Homebirth or at a Birth Center, you want to know what you can do if you transfer to hospital.

Up to now most people felt they had little options. However when you have great birth and birth coaching skills then you just continue using them. Mothers always birth better when they are skilled and fathers/others always know how-to birth coach better when they too are skilled.

Whether you birth at home or at a Birth Center or in hospital your skills will always lead you to 'birth better' even if you don't have a 'better birth'. You got pregnant to have a baby not a 'type' of birth.

While you might grieve that your home birth or Birth Center birth turned into a hospital birth, what will you really look back on? Once you own your birth and birth coaching skills you're more likely to look back on what you 'did' rather than what 'happened' to you or around you.

Editorial Reviews

'At this summer's Breath of Life conference, pioneer of natural birth, Michel Odent posed the question, "Can humanity survive obstetrics?" The answer to this question is an unequivocal 'yes' with the help of tools such as the Common Knowledge Trust's Pink Kit. Knowledge is power and nowhere more so than in the experience of childbirth. Knowledge of our body is perhaps one of the most valuable tools we can take into our experience of childbirth'.

Positive News 2001 Magazine

'This is what your mother never told you about birth (more’s the pity). The producers of this ‘multi media birth preparation kit’ want to make the information it contains ‘common knowledge’ and to give pregnant women, their partners and support people familiarity with their bodies and the birth process and a ‘toolkit’ of practical exercises to turn ‘textbook knowledge’ into ‘self-knowledge’.

Midirs 2002 UK

The information … the ‘common knowledge’… that women can gain from this kit is revolutionary. Through simple and accessible instructions, we can learn about our own specific anatomy and how to work with it to enhance the natural processes of labour and birth. Our partners can also be involved, doing exercise with us and learning how to assist and encourage us. The Pink Kit also teaches us to tune into our bodies, using massage, touch and directed breath for example.

Dr. Sarah Buckley

I liked the whole philosophy of the book-- raising self awareness and developing confidence and empowering women and provided such a gentle, relaxed approach to labor and birth so different from the many media images that are fed to people almost daily. I would like to see these aspects of labor widely discussed by practicing midwives and those in training too and for incorporation into antenatal classes and used in labor.'

'I have been inspired and compelled to share the knowledge of the Pink Kit that I have personally used in preparation for the birth of my second baby.The Pink Kit has taught me that childbirth is a learned skill and by knowing and understanding our body we can take control and progress the birth of our baby.
