Embracing the Journey of Raising Twins
Introduction
Ever wondered what it's like to give birth to twins? A friend of mine put it simply: "First one came out and then the other." Raising twins is, of course, much more complex. In New Zealand, however, we have a unique and enviable maternity care system. Over 85% of pregnant women are supported by a single lead maternity carer?"a midwife. This government-funded care provides continuity from pregnancy through to postnatal support, with the option to give birth at home or in a hospital.
Maternity Care Paradox
Despite the focus on natural birth, the rate of caesareans has doubled since midwives became lead carers in 1995. Women expecting breech babies or multiples often face strong recommendations for elective caesareans. In Nelson, for instance, 26% of all births are by caesarean. This paradox highlights the tension between natural births and medically assisted ones.
The Role of Common Knowledge Trust and The Pink Kit Method
Common Knowledge Trust, established in 1996 by Wintergreen, a seasoned natural health practitioner, addresses this issue. The Pink Kit Method for birthing is based on the understanding that we all share a universal human experience, regardless of our personal differences. This method provides practical skills for both mothers and their birth coaches, usually partners or relatives, to ensure a positive birthing experience.
Focusing on Universal Human Experiences
Although every birth is unique, The Pink Kit Method emphasizes our shared human experience to prepare for childbirth. It teaches skills like mapping your pelvis, relaxing specific muscles, and utilizing the Internal Work to find the best birthing positions.
Empowering Birth Choices
Today, birthing beliefs are diverse. Women hear they must choose between midwife-led home births and doctor-managed hospital deliveries. The Pink Kit Method focuses on the reality of childbirth?"no matter the setting, the process involves managing contractions. With learned skills, you can breathe effectively, relax, and work with your coach to ensure a positive birth experience. Empowerment comes from being prepared and skilled, rather than simply hoping for the best.
Challenging Birth Myths
Many believe childbirth can't be prepared for?"that ignorance is bliss. But The Pink Kit Method promotes skills over mere hope. Natural processes, like labor, can still cause tension and intensity. Our human capability allows us to use skills for a smoother birthing journey.
Why Skills Matter
For over 30 years, birthing skills have been overshadowed by debates over where and with whom to give birth. The Common Knowledge Trust advocates for skill development, providing concrete steps towards managing labor effectively, regardless of the birthing context. These skills transcend intellectual knowledge, offering practical mastery.
Preparing for Childbirth, Even with a Planned Caesarean
Even if you plan for a caesarean, The Pink Kit Method equips you and your partner with skills to prepare physically and emotionally. You can build a sense of teamwork and empowerment through this preparation.
Conclusion
With input from countless women and their partners, Common Knowledge Trust enriches the birthing experience. As parents of multiples, engage with your provider and embrace the journey. Become Pink Kit parents and enjoy preparing for childbirth, enhancing your partnership, and fostering a deeper connection.
