This is avaliable on netflix and it's instant gratification because of the "watch now" feature. I found this very inspiring and amazing to watch...so if you have netflix and your computer can do the video deal check it out!!!! it's worth it.

The Business of Being Born

"Director Abby Epstein's controversial documentary takes a hard look at America's maternity care system, juxtaposing hospital deliveries against the growing popularity of at-home, natural childbirths that many expectant parents are now opting for. Former talk show host Ricki Lake was inspired to produce this compelling exposé after a dissatisfying birthing experience with her first child left her with many unanswered questions. "

    i watched this last night... i really liked it. it was very educational as well. i always knew deep inside that i wanted to have my baby under the care of a midwife, but i have a hard time explaining why to people like my mother who is not familiar with midwives and home birth.

    this movie will be a great tool to help my mother understand me.
