Question by ♥Georgia’s Ginger Mama NBM♥: Have any of you mommies watched the documentary called?
“The Business of Being Born”?
Here is the synopsis:
Birth is a miracle, a rite of passage, a natural part of life. But birth is also big business. Compelled to explore the subject after the delivery of her first child, actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to question the way American women have babies. The film interlaces intimate birth stories with surprising historical, political and scientific insights and shocking statistics about the current maternity care system. When director Epstein discovers she is pregnant during the making of the film, the journey becomes even more personal. Should most births be viewed as a natural life process, or should every delivery be treated as a potentially catastrophic medical emergency?
I am watching it in awe right now at how uneducated I am about midwifery and home births. I certainly recommend this to anyone to watch.
So have any of you watched this before? And if so, what are your thoughts?
It is on Showtime 3 right now. I have satellite. It is an awesome documentary.
