Birth: it's a miracle. A rite of passage. A natural part of life. But more than anything, birth is a business. Compelled to find answers after a disappointing birth experience with her first child, actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to examine and 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 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'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.
