With obgyn being sued left and right for failure to peeform a c section, I understand why they are trying to cover their asses. I just read an article about a woman awarded 4.5 million dollars because her OB didnt perform a c section at her request. 77% of obgyns have been sued atleast once in their careers by women like these, maybe.that is why they are so quick to perform c sections etc. its not all about the convenience of the hospital, its also about liability.
@lyricspint Dr.s are getting sued not always because their stupid their getting sued for w-e because people want money. and Dr.'s make bank ,why wouldn't they be a perfect candidate to rob?
i just heard that the death rates due to childbirth in the USA has tripled! i blame the epidurals, c-sections, and inductions. women need to give birth naturally again. it's healthy for both mom and baby and a much better experience.
@abrowning0421 any drug that goes into the mother goes into the child, C-section is not a natural passage into life, if a butterfly doesn't struggle out of the cacoon it never has the muscles to fly.
@AndreaManion tell him he will never have such an experience as seeing his child born at home ,especially if he has to do the delivery, if he's got the guts to man up!
Here is really important ground-breaking life-changing information. Give me money and you can see it. :( Guess what. if you let people watch it for free, they might actually give you money and more people get informed and support your next project. Imagine that.
Ended up staying up watching this documentary. I found it great! Very informative! I didn't experience the "issues" mostly expressed in this film and still I found it to be eye opening! Definitely have a different point of view for any future child i have. That's all this film is about, being informed! It's not about saying one is better than the other. It will open your mind to what Midwifes really are this day an age. Don't judge. Just inform yourself!
my hospital birth was all natural except the doctor broke my water.. and my parking lot birth had no intervention at all.. I really believe that being in the hospital with the doctors make a natural birth almost impossible.. but yet giving birth is such a natural thing and the business of being born? it should be only for the mom and the support she choose.. giving birth without intervention and using hypnobirthing technique gave me the best experience I can ever imagine..
@blaq7427 I actually read a book about motherhood in America. Prior to the civil war, birth was seen as a natural function and a part of life. However, because doctors at that time needed a reliable patient base they began to portray birth as a disease. This allowed male doctors to take the place of female midwives.
@blaq7427 nah, i think it's trying to make giving natural birth seem like a good thing and a possible thing, and is trying to promote it, since apparently it's not as typical for an american woman to have a natural birth, a non natural birth seems to be chosen most often, it just seems to be the norm
@anabell83071 Midwives generally bring everything to your home that is in a delivery room...even pitocin and resuscitation equipment. They do not bring an epidural or c-section gear however. It is also usually law in most states to have another assistant there as well (in case both mom and baby are in trouble). IT is VERY safe to have a baby at home..safer than in a hospital according to non-drug sponsored research.
I have not seen this movie but plan on to. I am a labor RN and yes while hospitals are run more like businesses, not all birthing centers are like the ones you see here. They asked the question "How many natural births do you see?" and the ladies answered rarely do they see it. The hospital I work at has many natural births. We educate our moms to make the choices during birth that they want. However, there are times when things go wrong and a c-section is a must.
@anabell83071 The midwives are trained to sew you back up if you tear! I've seen it done first hand, a couple of times. Midwives are extremely misunderstood and underrated - people don't seem to understand that they are highly trained and experienced medical care providers specialized in childbirth and have all the equipment and training necessary.

I really want to see this- I'm from the UK and actually work in an NHS maternity department. Always found it weird in US shows/films when they show birth scenes and everyone is scrubbed up like the mother is having brain surgery! The majority of births happen without the need for medical intervention, in the UK most women get through it with gas and air.
Most American medical professionals, and most professionals in general, do NOT care about mothers and babies. They are dangerously ignorant or downright evil. I'm an RN and mother of four children. My firstborn child was stolen from me when I was 17 by licensed social workers and sold to strangers for adoption. I'm one of millions of American mothers and countless mothers in foreign countries subjected to this lifelong torture, for profit. The U.S. government spends millions promoting it.
@asynkronos As a recent graduate and licensed social worker, I feel the need to defend my field of study. I want everyone to be clear that social workers DO NOT STEAL babies. This is a big misconception. Using the person-in-environment and systems theory, we work to achieve the least harm. I'm sorry your child was taken from you. There are, unfortunately, a handful of social workers who forget their Code of Ethics. But remember, the good ones are out there fighting as well! :)

Such a mind-opening film. I have grown up thinking that birthing was such a drug-induced, life-threatening situation that usually required some sort of surgery. The more I research natural birthing, the more I find that birthing should be beautiful and non-invasive. Experiencing the pain and pleasure of the birthing process is something that's being taken away from women, and I had no idea that it was such an unnecessarily expensive process. So happy to have found this before giving birth!
my son was born "naturally" in hospital. The nurses were there in case of complications and a Dr. was on stand-by (at his house). About 1 hr before the birth the Dr. arrived, came in to say hi and went down to the cafeteria for coffee. When we were ready, the nurses came in, paged the Dr. and help my spouse to deliver the baby. They said push push push, the Dr. asked me if I wanted to deliver the baby myself; i turned green, he delivered the baby and I cut the cord.

@AmbulanceProductions I agree but unfortunately adoption remains a long and expensive process. Foster care on the other hand pays you and foster children need loving influences in their lives just as much as a child you would adopt.
@insanechimpanzee You're absolutely right. I forgot about foster care when posting that. You can also, I hear, adopt your foster kid for cheap if they come up for adoption. Adoption and foster care are far more honorable to me then bringing your own child into this world.
@AmbulanceProductions That's a very judgemental comment. I don't believe that someone who wants to experience the joy of carrying and delivering their own child to love, raise, and support for the REST of their lives is being selfish! Yes, many children need homes, but not everyone has the opportunity to adopt. Try putting yourself in someone else's shoes and stop judging!
More women need to take charge of their own birthing experience. Do not let the hospitals and doctors and their agendas fool you. Do your research...If only I would have done more research before my first pregnancy I do not think I would have had all of those complications...
Hospitals try to take the innate experience of a woman giving birth away in order to control it for their own gain, but I comfort myself by knowing that the participants are only karmically torturing themselves.
@xiaofha A good midwife gets to know your health status and that of your baby from your first visit. She knows what complications are and are not likely and will transfer you to a hospital if necessary. This is not about going into labor with no preparation!
Its a FACT the Homebirths are SAFER....just look at the facts and you will see...most complications are CAUSED by the hospital staff and doctors!
Midwives have everything! My midwife had Pitocin, forceps, needles for stitches...You name it she had it...she could no everything but a c/s and the FACT is that C/S are unlikely to be needed for those who homebirth!
I dislike the opening main theme which is "birth is a business" and out to make money off of it. This leaves folks untrusting and suspicious of the obstetricians and dr's who are there honestly to bring about a "healthy mom and healthy baby" reality, sometimes under the most complicated and death facing situations. If this were true, then midwives would be the highest paid professionals since they are first and foremost sought out as pregnancy and birth caregivers.
@frumlady hmmm you dislike it, but ultimately it's true. the individual doctors may care but the nature of the modern health care system is to make money.
Doctors charge more because they go to more schooling and the infrastructure is set up to support that. In America, most insurances will not pay for a midwife and also midwives are NOT the "foremost sought out" as caregivers. These reasons encourage midwives to keep their fees lower.
I'm due in approximately 6 weeks, and I have gestational diabetes. My doctor actually stated explicitly that she would not let me labor for 24 hours without administering a c-section. When I stated that I was comfortable laboring for as long as was necessary to ensure that I could continue to deliver my children vaginally for the rest of my child-bearing years, she stated that she was not. I never got a clear answer. I'm scared out of my mind. If that doesn't speak volumes, what does??
believe it or not, even with a ridiculous name like he has, ragingflamerboy is the only one who has any clue about this topic. US prenatal care is keeping babies (and mothers) with severe conditions alive longer than in years before. Therefore, our hospitals are taking on riskier pregnancies, which obviously means there is a greater chance for death. Lets just use some common sense here, people!
I'd be tempted to agree with this theory, but I'd like to see some cold hard statistics regarding just which pregnancies are being deemed "risky" in the first place before declaring that the reason hospital births are more dangerous is because pregnancy in general has become more dangerous.
This theory sounds good, it just doesn't come out in the wash compared to other statistics, like the fact that doctors like to schedule more c-sections on weekends.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
im going to be honest i thin this movie is bullshit we have hospitals give birth bc birth complications are way too common for us to switch to natural births
Humans have been giving birth out side of hopsitals for thousands of years. This isn't some "miracle" that has saved us all. Birth complications are more prevelant in hospital births because of the amount of drugs and c sections. Go to any other country, and you will understand why our medical system is so fucked up.
@Lodeixa I agree...not only that but just outside of the medical industry but health & food industry are all just money hungry! they could care less about us...When i have my wife and shes about to give birth, all im gonna say is "babe sit in the couch let me know when its out" lol
What are you basing this assumption on? Until about 1940, the majority of American women gave birth at home, with much better infant mortality rates. The fact that 98% of babies in America are born in hospitals and we have the second worst infant mortality rate in the WORLD should be a clear indication to anyone with a brain that our system isn't working. The system exists for the purpose of making MONEY, not making healthy babies. They don't make money if you're not sick or hurt! DUH!
I think mothers need to make the health and safety of the baby their number 1 priority. If they are fine then why not go for that experience they talk about in the film? I would really love to have a baby at home one day. I want to feel the whole process of it and get that rush of hormones. However, if something happens during pregnancy or delivery and I need a c-section then that is fine too. Whatever is best for the child.
i go to that medical school, and you know what ceaseran take like 2-4 hrs, from start to closing they aren't that easy. there are reasons for increasing speed in delivery, its called oxygen depravation, maybe some of the things that are done in medicine are not always the best, but they are mostly done with good intentions.
Again, I want to believe that the vast majority of doctors do have the patients' best interests at heart, but statistics show that isn't always true. The most blaring example of this is the fact that more c-sections are scheduled on weekends and holidays than during regular working hours. There could most certainly be extenuating circumstances surrounding that statistic, but that's what shocked me into realizing that at the end of the day, they aren't doing this for free.
I love this movie and was so moved by it. As an advocate for children I feel natural births would also lessen the amount of children that end up in foster care [watch movie to understand " the natural hormones blocked by hospitals"]. If i ever am capable of having a child I hope it is possible for me to have a home birth.
I was almost 2 weeks late with no sign of going into labor. I had a pitocin drip and an epidural at the hospital. I have absolutely no regrets and my baby's safety was never compromised. This was an informative movie, but women should not be made to feel they have "failed" if they do need some extra help delivering their babies.
I've seen this movie many times and I never got the impression that this movie says "women have failed because they need some extra help delivering their babies". This movie is simply informing women that there is a different way. You don't have to go to a hospital and lay on your back. If you've seen the movie, you know that at the end it shows a woman (who we see throughout the movie) who wanted a natural birth but at the end, couldn't do so. All this movie does is inform.
Yes. You are entitled to your opinion of it. I never said you weren't. My opinion is that your opinion had an incorrect fact in it. I was simply pointing it out. :)
Okay, I apologize for coming off rude. I was upset because I have been a strong advocate for natural birth for years, and I believe this movie shows women that natural birth is an option because it is amazing how many women (and men) don't realize that it is. It sounded to me, from what you said, that this movie tells women they'll be failures if they don't do a natural birth and the movie never says that. It's telling women that natural birth at home can be an option and can be safe.
I saw the movie and I loved it. But I do agree that there was this idea that if she had a baby at a hospital then she misses out. Do you remember the French man at the end talking about how if women have c-sections then they don't bond with their baby? That woman, Abby, had a c-section. Imagine how she would feel after hearing that. Jewelz617 was simply saying how she felt about the movie. She was not talking about facts. It was just her opinion and I agree with her :)
I hope you got the previous part of my message. Youtube's not working with me right now. But I also wanted to point out that at the end, the man was not saying that a c section was the problem, but the way some hospitals treat the mother-child bond after birth, they whisk the baby away and do all those tests, even when it's not necessary. A good mother-child bond is possible after a c section. And the woman, Abby, was the film's maker so she knew what he said before she put that in the movie.
Cant wait to get my copy of this DVD. I had my daughter at home, she's my first and cant wait to do it again :) Even if its your first child, you can do it! Home Sweet Home Birth <3
I had a regular OB early in my pregnancy and had been debating switching to a midwife. After I saw this video, I switched immediately and couldn't have been happier with the results. Though I gave birth in a hospital, there was very little interference and my midwife did not allow anyone to mess with or bother me. I was so happy that I switched to a midwife and would recommend it to anyone. Women of the earth, take back your birth!
i'm only 19, but i watched this documentary on t.v. the one day, and was AMAZED at the healthcare system in the USA. my second sister was born at home and the experience for my whole family was 100% better than when my first sister was born (in the hospital). when i'm older and thinking about having kids, i'm DEFINETLY going to have a home birth. especially after seeing this documentary.
We really benefited from this video & we'd love to hear other suggestions on other reference materials that support our natural childbirth views (or the Bradley Method). It is SO Important that this works out for us-so, no negative feedback, please.
Unfair to, "roll up doctors in this , , ,?" They roll over like trained dogs for big pharma and insurance companies. Remember "fee-for-service" medicine? It was much less intrusive and a more collaborative effort. Oh yeah, it was cheaper, too.
Not all of them do, and many are opposed to the sanctions placed on them by insurance companies and corporate hospitals. But if they do not play those games, they aren't licensed by the state board to practice and they won't receive liability insurance, which is also a requirement to practice medicine. Same goes for nurses etc. They also won't be hired to work in a facility, and the stand up costs for a practice are horrendous.
Healthcare is owned by pharmaceutical companies that's how hospitals get there money.
That's how you stonewall any real "health" or "care" say: If you don't do as we say and buy into our colleges and our rules and our insurances corporations and our drugs then you will not be a doctor "professionally" I understand exactly what you are saying CordsZ.
I'm not much up on my economics, so I can't say I have an opinion 'cause I don't understand all the implications. My knee jerk reaction would be no. We need healthcare in the same way we need clean water and healthy foods. There's a difference between free market economics in the car industry v. the medical profession....you can always take a bike to work, but it's awfully hard to take out your own ruptured appendix, you know?
I think it's a bit unfair to roll the doctors and nurses up in this. While doctors (for the most part) favor more medical v. holistic intervention, it's the corporations behind the hospitals and the insurance companies that force the medical field to churn out babies like licence plates at a factory. Medical personnel hate it as much as the patients and advocates, if not more. We all need to get together to get the businessmen back OUT of healthcare!
Well that's just dumb. We need healthcare providers and medicines and trauma care etc. We'd all be dead at 30 just like in the Middle Ages without those things. Healthcare needs to be returned to the practitioners though, and taken away from special interest groups and business types.
I just watched this film, OMG... so true. I experienced both and will never go back to hospital birth... pregnancy is not a sickness is a natural process...
wow im expecting and felt abit freaked out. its my first. i watched a few videos of births and they way some doctors and nurses pull the baby out ud think they would dislocate the head form the neck. i jst watched this and i am alot calmer about it and am now excited to experience child birth, which so many are unable to
they control people with fear, once you scare a person they become your tool for whatever u say. its not only with births but also with vaccinations,cancer treatment,etc. they put the idea in your head that if u dont do as they say,you will die,become sick,etc.behind close doors the same doctors tellin u what to do wouldnt say the same thing to their family members. its all about money,diseases are man-made cuz its a lifelong business
I really liked your video and your channel. If you need any help getting this video or channel exposed I use a site called tubeviews.(net) It has really helped like 20 of my main videos get to the top in position. Its nice.
this movie really inspired us and changed our birthing experience! I will never have a child in a traditional hospital setting as long as I'm in good health!
Got into this subject through Ron Paul, which may sound odd! But this is essentially non-intervention applied to human health. Why intervene when it's natural! Beautiful film---will open your eyes.
I love this movie its extremely informative and moving. Personally it has changed my life and the way I think about birth. I enjoy the fact that Ricky is trying to let women know they have a choice of how and where they give birth. If you cant find the movie in stores I checked it out from my local library. I did have to wait a few weeks to get it but the wait was well worth it!
I've been looking for this DVD everywhere,I cant find it in any of the movie stores and Places that sell videos here or near by just cant find it.I wish someone could like download it and send it to my email so i could watch it PLEASE if someone could help.I live in a small town in SC may be the reason I cant find it.
This movie changed my life. I can't say enough about it. It made me change my mind about the planned c-section I was going to have and made me look forward to giving birth instead of dreading the thought. I'm having my daughter at my home in April. Wish me luck!
Wow, good luck. You can do it, your body knows what it's doing. Just have faith in yourself and don't listen to the naysayers. People are just afraid.
i believe the attitude should be that people dont go to hospital to give birth unless the birth is previously identified as being high risk. it means the resources are being left for people that need them and that mothers arent pressured into using pointless medical interventions.
I'm sure it won't be very long that they make it illegal for you to do that. The video is right, doctor's and those running the hospitals try and make you think you aren't capable of having your baby. I know a woman who was belittled by her doctor because she was a vegetarian while being pregnant.
Great movie! I had four out of my five at home with midwives and it was the best choice I could have made, especially since I have a tendency to have precipitous births (three of my five were born in under two hours from the first contraction; my last child, born three weeks ago, came after a labor that was just an hour and eight minutes long)! A lot better than having the baby on my filthy van floor at eight minutes after midnight on a dark street, that's for sure.
Bad things can happen anywhere and lets not forget that we CAN have a natural birth in hospital. You can watch plenty of the videos right here on youtube.
I don't know. I've seen some of these "natural" hospital births on Youtube and they don't seem anything like the homebirths I had. "Natural" to me means far more than simply "drugs are not administered"; I also want no IV, baby put on me not on the warmer, no shot of postpartum pitocin to contract my uterus, delayed cord cutting, no separation or trips to the nursery, no Hep B shot. I guess I just have such a long list of "nos" that it is far simpler for me to stay home.
And of course all practitioners can make poor decisions but that is personal and not representative of the discipline. We had a midwife who allowed a VBAC mother to deliver @ home w/ know meconium. Baby ended up requiring nitric and showed infarcts on the MRI. The sad part is that instances like this it means separation of the family and their baby. Again, it is a personal decision that you need to be educated in all aspects when making.
I don't know any birth that is risk free. Do you? I was not speaking of accidental homebirths either. I was speaking of planned homebirths w/ a midwife where unforeseen circumstances led the family to transfer to the hospital. Due to the delay in appropriate care, the babies suffer severe meconium aspiration, prolonged RDS and even lasting neuro deficits. I've seen it all when all was needed was basic hospital interventions at birth.
My son was born in a birthing center in 2005. He almost died because the midwives were too incompetent to realize he was breach when they induced me 2 1/2 weeks early.
Hospitals are not evil. I will be having a 100% natural birth in November... in a hospital.
I plan on having a natural birth in a hospital. Everyone goes on and on about our "rights" as Americans...but no one ever makes the connection to MY RIGHT TO SAY NO. YES, dr's are very pushy! So delegate someone to deal with hospital staff while you are in labor. So if you have to have your baby in a hospital because of insurance, or if you just want the security in case something goes wrong, REMEMBER! That does NOT mean you can not have a completely natural birth!!!
...but that's what birth centers are for! It's the comfort of home, with the security of hospitals, but with certified midwifes! If you watch the actual movie, you will learn the dangers of hospital births, with doctors! I would ONLY give birth in a hospital if it was completely nessesary for the well-being of myself or my child! Other than that, I trust my body, I have faith in God, and I chose to give birth the way it was intended!
After reading comments, I agree that it would be nice if women could have COMPLETELY natural births inside/near a hospital, where doctors leave them alone and don't give them pitocin to rush along their labor and bother them with unnecessary & dangerous medical interventions. That way mothers could be close to emergency care if needed. However, the way (most) hospitals work in this country, that is impossible. A hospital birth is riskier than a home birth, even with potential complications.
This movie tells the truth. I wanted for years to be a nurse-midwife and I looked up to a nurse-midwife in our town. One day she pulled me into her office and told me not to become a nurse-midwife. She told me that I would be facing difficulty and opposition at every turn, and that doctors wouldn't want me, a nurse (but a midwife) to be part of their practice. It made her so sad to say these things, but she had experienced it herself. Midwifery is an artform; One that I'm worried is dying.
If I may play the semi-devil's advocate, although I understand that this is a preview and previews are meant to make people watch the upcoming movie, I'm a little disturbed at the lack of male input in this. I, a man, have deep-seated personal beliefs about women being able to give birth the way they should again...more than anything I wish I could know what it's like, but I can't.
Well...either way, the documentary's in favor of what I'm in favor of, so more power to it.
I just watched the film tonight, and there was a good amount of footage showing male partners participating in the births. It was really beautiful, I hadn't seen anything like it. I actually would've wished for more interview footage with them, as a compliment to everything else, but what I saw spoke volumes.
To the contrary, the film features both female and male health professionals who support and advocate for natural births and midwifery. I would like to comment thought that the main male speaking in the film (I cant remember his name) is not from America, further supporting the idealogical of the film.
I like to feel sexy....knowing someone is watching me ..wanting me...turns me on!BADLY!

Each woman should make an informed choice, not based on fear or an 'ideal'.ALL MOMS WANT HEALTHY BABIES, and should take responsibility for anything that goes wrong if they decide to birth at home, or alone, etc.Hospital errors and infections are rife, but accidents happen everywhere, and things can change suddenly.The majority of births can go well with little or no intervention. A mom should choose where to birth, knowing the risks, and be willing to take responsibility for her choice.
I had my first daughter in hospital and my second in birth centre. 1st baby: on my back in bed,pushing uphill(against gravity and against anatomy).'Allowed' to push for 15 minutes, then given episiotomy with NO painkiller(the only pain I felt). Stitches hurt and were too tight.2nd baby: I could eat, drink, walk, sit, bath.. I gave birth on all fours, 11 lb 8 oz girl, no intervention. I tore, but it didn't hurt. Stitches were perfect n painless. Baby was calm n healthy, not screaming like my 1st
I think that the thing that bothers me the most is how women see pregnancy as a "medical condition." A female body is made for conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing, but somewhere along the line, women have been made to believe that pregnancy is an illness and birthing naturally is "wrong."
Yes, it can be scary, but you can control many aspects of your delivery.
That is how it SHOULD go for everyone and sounds good in statement but tell that to the woman who had complications ...no matter the degree. I don't think people view childbirth as an illness or wrong but nobody should be naive to think that nothing can go wrong either. And yes you have some control over your delivery no matter what the setting...it starts by finding a provider you can trust.
Just like Nosila999 stated above "Each woman should make an informed choice, not based on fear or an 'ideal'." Each and every birth is different. Pregnancy causes major physiological alterations in a woman's body. Getting pregnant is a risk in itself. I deal with pt's that come in and have never informed themselves on pregnancy or childbirth. It's sad that many of these women are clueless.
With obgyn being sued left and right for failure to peeform a c section, I understand why they are trying to cover their asses. I just read an article about a woman awarded 4.5 million dollars because her OB didnt perform a c section at her request. 77% of obgyns have been sued atleast once in their careers by women like these, maybe.that is why they are so quick to perform c sections etc. its not all about the convenience of the hospital, its also about liability.

my hospital birth was all natural except the doctor broke my water.. and my parking lot birth had no intervention at all.. I really believe that being in the hospital with the doctors make a natural birth almost impossible.. but yet giving birth is such a natural thing and the business of being born? it should be only for the mom and the support she choose.. giving birth without intervention and using hypnobirthing technique gave me the best experience I can ever imagine..

Is this doc seriously trying to make giving birth seem like a bad thing? America is sooo screwed up

@blaq7427 I actually read a book about motherhood in America. Prior to the civil war, birth was seen as a natural function and a part of life. However, because doctors at that time needed a reliable patient base they began to portray birth as a disease. This allowed male doctors to take the place of female midwives.

@blaq7427 nah, i think it's trying to make giving natural birth seem like a good thing and a possible thing, and is trying to promote it, since apparently it's not as typical for an american woman to have a natural birth, a non natural birth seems to be chosen most often, it just seems to be the norm

@anabell83071 Midwives generally bring everything to your home that is in a delivery room...even pitocin and resuscitation equipment. They do not bring an epidural or c-section gear however. It is also usually law in most states to have another assistant there as well (in case both mom and baby are in trouble). IT is VERY safe to have a baby at home..safer than in a hospital according to non-drug sponsored research.

I have not seen this movie but plan on to. I am a labor RN and yes while hospitals are run more like businesses, not all birthing centers are like the ones you see here. They asked the question "How many natural births do you see?" and the ladies answered rarely do they see it. The hospital I work at has many natural births. We educate our moms to make the choices during birth that they want. However, there are times when things go wrong and a c-section is a must.

@anabell83071 The midwives are trained to sew you back up if you tear! I've seen it done first hand, a couple of times. Midwives are extremely misunderstood and underrated - people don't seem to understand that they are highly trained and experienced medical care providers specialized in childbirth and have all the equipment and training necessary.

I really want to see this- I'm from the UK and actually work in an NHS maternity department. Always found it weird in US shows/films when they show birth scenes and everyone is scrubbed up like the mother is having brain surgery! The majority of births happen without the need for medical intervention, in the UK most women get through it with gas and air.

Most American medical professionals, and most professionals in general, do NOT care about mothers and babies. They are dangerously ignorant or downright evil. I'm an RN and mother of four children. My firstborn child was stolen from me when I was 17 by licensed social workers and sold to strangers for adoption. I'm one of millions of American mothers and countless mothers in foreign countries subjected to this lifelong torture, for profit. The U.S. government spends millions promoting it.

Such a mind-opening film. I have grown up thinking that birthing was such a drug-induced, life-threatening situation that usually required some sort of surgery. The more I research natural birthing, the more I find that birthing should be beautiful and non-invasive. Experiencing the pain and pleasure of the birthing process is something that's being taken away from women, and I had no idea that it was such an unnecessarily expensive process. So happy to have found this before giving birth!

my son was born "naturally" in hospital. The nurses were there in case of complications and a Dr. was on stand-by (at his house). About 1 hr before the birth the Dr. arrived, came in to say hi and went down to the cafeteria for coffee. When we were ready, the nurses came in, paged the Dr. and help my spouse to deliver the baby. They said push push push, the Dr. asked me if I wanted to deliver the baby myself; i turned green, he delivered the baby and I cut the cord.

I dislike the opening main theme which is "birth is a business" and out to make money off of it. This leaves folks untrusting and suspicious of the obstetricians and dr's who are there honestly to bring about a "healthy mom and healthy baby" reality, sometimes under the most complicated and death facing situations. If this were true, then midwives would be the highest paid professionals since they are first and foremost sought out as pregnancy and birth caregivers.
frumlady 1 year ago
@frumlady hmmm you dislike it, but ultimately it's true. the individual doctors may care but the nature of the modern health care system is to make money.
Doctors charge more because they go to more schooling and the infrastructure is set up to support that. In America, most insurances will not pay for a midwife and also midwives are NOT the "foremost sought out" as caregivers. These reasons encourage midwives to keep their fees lower.
emeraldmorn 1 year ago 2
I'm due in approximately 6 weeks, and I have gestational diabetes. My doctor actually stated explicitly that she would not let me labor for 24 hours without administering a c-section. When I stated that I was comfortable laboring for as long as was necessary to ensure that I could continue to deliver my children vaginally for the rest of my child-bearing years, she stated that she was not. I never got a clear answer. I'm scared out of my mind. If that doesn't speak volumes, what does??
HamNCheezeNLuv 1 year ago
believe it or not, even with a ridiculous name like he has, ragingflamerboy is the only one who has any clue about this topic. US prenatal care is keeping babies (and mothers) with severe conditions alive longer than in years before. Therefore, our hospitals are taking on riskier pregnancies, which obviously means there is a greater chance for death. Lets just use some common sense here, people!
austinraywilson 1 year ago
I'd be tempted to agree with this theory, but I'd like to see some cold hard statistics regarding just which pregnancies are being deemed "risky" in the first place before declaring that the reason hospital births are more dangerous is because pregnancy in general has become more dangerous.
This theory sounds good, it just doesn't come out in the wash compared to other statistics, like the fact that doctors like to schedule more c-sections on weekends.

Humans have been giving birth out side of hopsitals for thousands of years. This isn't some "miracle" that has saved us all. Birth complications are more prevelant in hospital births because of the amount of drugs and c sections. Go to any other country, and you will understand why our medical system is so fucked up.

What are you basing this assumption on? Until about 1940, the majority of American women gave birth at home, with much better infant mortality rates. The fact that 98% of babies in America are born in hospitals and we have the second worst infant mortality rate in the WORLD should be a clear indication to anyone with a brain that our system isn't working. The system exists for the purpose of making MONEY, not making healthy babies. They don't make money if you're not sick or hurt! DUH!

I think mothers need to make the health and safety of the baby their number 1 priority. If they are fine then why not go for that experience they talk about in the film? I would really love to have a baby at home one day. I want to feel the whole process of it and get that rush of hormones. However, if something happens during pregnancy or delivery and I need a c-section then that is fine too. Whatever is best for the child.

matrixupgrade 1 year ago
Again, I want to believe that the vast majority of doctors do have the patients' best interests at heart, but statistics show that isn't always true. The most blaring example of this is the fact that more c-sections are scheduled on weekends and holidays than during regular working hours. There could most certainly be extenuating circumstances surrounding that statistic, but that's what shocked me into realizing that at the end of the day, they aren't doing this for free.

I was almost 2 weeks late with no sign of going into labor. I had a pitocin drip and an epidural at the hospital. I have absolutely no regrets and my baby's safety was never compromised. This was an informative movie, but women should not be made to feel they have "failed" if they do need some extra help delivering their babies.
jewelz617 2 years ago
I've seen this movie many times and I never got the impression that this movie says "women have failed because they need some extra help delivering their babies". This movie is simply informing women that there is a different way. You don't have to go to a hospital and lay on your back. If you've seen the movie, you know that at the end it shows a woman (who we see throughout the movie) who wanted a natural birth but at the end, couldn't do so. All this movie does is inform.

Okay, I apologize for coming off rude. I was upset because I have been a strong advocate for natural birth for years, and I believe this movie shows women that natural birth is an option because it is amazing how many women (and men) don't realize that it is. It sounded to me, from what you said, that this movie tells women they'll be failures if they don't do a natural birth and the movie never says that. It's telling women that natural birth at home can be an option and can be safe.

I saw the movie and I loved it. But I do agree that there was this idea that if she had a baby at a hospital then she misses out. Do you remember the French man at the end talking about how if women have c-sections then they don't bond with their baby? That woman, Abby, had a c-section. Imagine how she would feel after hearing that. Jewelz617 was simply saying how she felt about the movie. She was not talking about facts. It was just her opinion and I agree with her :)

I hope you got the previous part of my message. Youtube's not working with me right now. But I also wanted to point out that at the end, the man was not saying that a c section was the problem, but the way some hospitals treat the mother-child bond after birth, they whisk the baby away and do all those tests, even when it's not necessary. A good mother-child bond is possible after a c section. And the woman, Abby, was the film's maker so she knew what he said before she put that in the movie.

dlysergic25 2 years ago 2
Not all of them do, and many are opposed to the sanctions placed on them by insurance companies and corporate hospitals. But if they do not play those games, they aren't licensed by the state board to practice and they won't receive liability insurance, which is also a requirement to practice medicine. Same goes for nurses etc. They also won't be hired to work in a facility, and the stand up costs for a practice are horrendous.

I think it's a bit unfair to roll the doctors and nurses up in this. While doctors (for the most part) favor more medical v. holistic intervention, it's the corporations behind the hospitals and the insurance companies that force the medical field to churn out babies like licence plates at a factory. Medical personnel hate it as much as the patients and advocates, if not more. We all need to get together to get the businessmen back OUT of healthcare!

Great movie! I had four out of my five at home with midwives and it was the best choice I could have made, especially since I have a tendency to have precipitous births (three of my five were born in under two hours from the first contraction; my last child, born three weeks ago, came after a labor that was just an hour and eight minutes long)! A lot better than having the baby on my filthy van floor at eight minutes after midnight on a dark street, that's for sure.

Bad things can happen anywhere and lets not forget that we CAN have a natural birth in hospital. You can watch plenty of the videos right here on youtube.

I don't know. I've seen some of these "natural" hospital births on Youtube and they don't seem anything like the homebirths I had. "Natural" to me means far more than simply "drugs are not administered"; I also want no IV, baby put on me not on the warmer, no shot of postpartum pitocin to contract my uterus, delayed cord cutting, no separation or trips to the nursery, no Hep B shot. I guess I just have such a long list of "nos" that it is far simpler for me to stay home.

Why do they always want to get the babies out of the Mother's sight so quickly, anyway?

And of course all practitioners can make poor decisions but that is personal and not representative of the discipline. We had a midwife who allowed a VBAC mother to deliver @ home w/ know meconium. Baby ended up requiring nitric and showed infarcts on the MRI. The sad part is that instances like this it means separation of the family and their baby. Again, it is a personal decision that you need to be educated in all aspects when making.

I don't know any birth that is risk free. Do you? I was not speaking of accidental homebirths either. I was speaking of planned homebirths w/ a midwife where unforeseen circumstances led the family to transfer to the hospital. Due to the delay in appropriate care, the babies suffer severe meconium aspiration, prolonged RDS and even lasting neuro deficits. I've seen it all when all was needed was basic hospital interventions at birth.

My son was born in a birthing center in 2005. He almost died because the midwives were too incompetent to realize he was breach when they induced me 2 1/2 weeks early.
Hospitals are not evil. I will be having a 100% natural birth in November... in a hospital.

How was it a natural birth in a birthing center if you were induced?
MeAtBaG099 3 years ago 3
Well I've read stories of midwives who have saved baby's lives when the baby was very likely to die (an of course even at hospitals)

KittiKisses,
It's spelled "breech." And you should know that both doctors and midwives sometimes miss breeches.

I plan on having a natural birth in a hospital. Everyone goes on and on about our "rights" as Americans...but no one ever makes the connection to MY RIGHT TO SAY NO. YES, dr's are very pushy! So delegate someone to deal with hospital staff while you are in labor. So if you have to have your baby in a hospital because of insurance, or if you just want the security in case something goes wrong, REMEMBER! That does NOT mean you can not have a completely natural birth!!!
KittiKisses 3 years ago
...but that's what birth centers are for! It's the comfort of home, with the security of hospitals, but with certified midwifes! If you watch the actual movie, you will learn the dangers of hospital births, with doctors! I would ONLY give birth in a hospital if it was completely nessesary for the well-being of myself or my child! Other than that, I trust my body, I have faith in God, and I chose to give birth the way it was intended!

"Midwives," not "midwifes."

After reading comments, I agree that it would be nice if women could have COMPLETELY natural births inside/near a hospital, where doctors leave them alone and don't give them pitocin to rush along their labor and bother them with unnecessary & dangerous medical interventions. That way mothers could be close to emergency care if needed. However, the way (most) hospitals work in this country, that is impossible. A hospital birth is riskier than a home birth, even with potential complications.

This movie tells the truth. I wanted for years to be a nurse-midwife and I looked up to a nurse-midwife in our town. One day she pulled me into her office and told me not to become a nurse-midwife. She told me that I would be facing difficulty and opposition at every turn, and that doctors wouldn't want me, a nurse (but a midwife) to be part of their practice. It made her so sad to say these things, but she had experienced it herself. Midwifery is an artform; One that I'm worried is dying.

If I may play the semi-devil's advocate, although I understand that this is a preview and previews are meant to make people watch the upcoming movie, I'm a little disturbed at the lack of male input in this. I, a man, have deep-seated personal beliefs about women being able to give birth the way they should again...more than anything I wish I could know what it's like, but I can't.
Well...either way, the documentary's in favor of what I'm in favor of, so more power to it.

I just watched the film tonight, and there was a good amount of footage showing male partners participating in the births. It was really beautiful, I hadn't seen anything like it. I actually would've wished for more interview footage with them, as a compliment to everything else, but what I saw spoke volumes.
annaleighclark 3 years ago 2
I totally agree with you, it helped me realise that I do have a choice in this! I will not take pitocin, and I want a midwife!
THis really moved and inspired me.

To the contrary, the film features both female and male health professionals who support and advocate for natural births and midwifery. I would like to comment thought that the main male speaking in the film (I cant remember his name) is not from America, further supporting the idealogical of the film.

Each woman should make an informed choice, not based on fear or an 'ideal'.ALL MOMS WANT HEALTHY BABIES, and should take responsibility for anything that goes wrong if they decide to birth at home, or alone, etc.Hospital errors and infections are rife, but accidents happen everywhere, and things can change suddenly.The majority of births can go well with little or no intervention. A mom should choose where to birth, knowing the risks, and be willing to take responsibility for her choice.

I had my first daughter in hospital and my second in birth centre. 1st baby: on my back in bed,pushing uphill(against gravity and against anatomy).'Allowed' to push for 15 minutes, then given episiotomy with NO painkiller(the only pain I felt). Stitches hurt and were too tight.2nd baby: I could eat, drink, walk, sit, bath.. I gave birth on all fours, 11 lb 8 oz girl, no intervention. I tore, but it didn't hurt. Stitches were perfect n painless. Baby was calm n healthy, not screaming like my 1st

I think that the thing that bothers me the most is how women see pregnancy as a "medical condition." A female body is made for conception, pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing, but somewhere along the line, women have been made to believe that pregnancy is an illness and birthing naturally is "wrong."
Yes, it can be scary, but you can control many aspects of your delivery.
matamari300 3 years ago 4
That is how it SHOULD go for everyone and sounds good in statement but tell that to the woman who had complications ...no matter the degree. I don't think people view childbirth as an illness or wrong but nobody should be naive to think that nothing can go wrong either. And yes you have some control over your delivery no matter what the setting...it starts by finding a provider you can trust.

Just like Nosila999 stated above "Each woman should make an informed choice, not based on fear or an 'ideal'." Each and every birth is different. Pregnancy causes major physiological alterations in a woman's body. Getting pregnant is a risk in itself. I deal with pt's that come in and have never informed themselves on pregnancy or childbirth. It's sad that many of these women are clueless.
