  • Oh goodness you scared me there I thought you'd had bub early! I just saw your name and a little baby but then I read the title and was like phew! Also if you like this movie I recomend you watch pregnant in America it is amazing and a real eye opener! xox

  • @candixcore i just downloaded it, lol! as soon as i read this comment i searched it and found it! thank you!! lol

  • I agree totally 100%!! This movie changed my life. I plan to recommend all of my clients to watch it. I love this part as well, What he says makes SO much sense and I wish everyone else viewed it like this. So many times I hear women say that they want to PLAN a C-section or an induction and they are NOT informed and have no idea the ramifications! It is so sad. :( But I am so glad you are informed and going to go all natural! I really hope you plan to film/take pictures of your birth! :)

  • @MandeeTheGreat i do plan to film it and take pics!! im excited :)!

  • I do not want to have my baby in the hospital NO FUCKING WAY! I want to have my baby in water somewhere calm, a natural birth.

  • @SamiraRana yup! thats the most logical way to me too!

  • @jldoctor not what he's saying! only that interfering with mother nature has more ramifications than just providing pain relief. It interferes with the "mother's" natural instincts to protect, love, and become attached to her baby. Maybe this doesn't happen to everyone, but it is more likely for those births that undergo medical interventions, even those that are necessary to save the life of the mother and/or baby.

  • For everyone planning a home/"natural" birth and/or boycotting hospitals, please google "Hurt By Homebirth" and read the experiences on the blog. It's worth taking a look at the other side of the debate before making a decision that could have serious ramifications on your or your baby's health. Just sayin'.

  • Because clearly women who give birth via c-section don't love their babies...what a fucking dumb ass

  • I'm having my second baby with a midwife, and not in a hospital. Everyone thinks I'm weird. Sad it has to be that way, but a lot of things in the United States are ass-backwards and wrong.

  • interesting & spot on.

  • @foshizzbizz101 me too.. I have no kids because I was always so scared out of my mind seeing only screams while birthing... Now I see it differently... actually thinking that a baby can be a possibility now :)

  • This video is a real eye opener for women who have only just learned that their options for birth are broader and better than say....legs spread up on stirrups, doctors looking up your you know what and taking the dignity away from a woman during her birthing experience. I am so glad I learned about this. I am so glad to know that giving birth isn't all screams and pains like what happens in the hospital and what we see on t.v. Thank God I learned about this.

  • @alkalinerush thats what I was questioning... I think birthing however makes you comfortable is nice, but putting down others because they didn't birth naturally. Seriously, I was wondering what about the people who have to have c-sections... if not them or their babies would die? Makes you wonder about this theory.... I got a lil lost on the monkey theory! We are not monkey's we are human.

  • i wanna watch this movie but cat find it here in new zealand grrrr

  • OH wow...he makes perfect sense. Why does everyone scare women into making them feel that they cannot produce this baby.

  • Also, he is not just talking about C-section.. he is talking about the massive amounts of drugs given to women to numb the pain of childbirth, that interfere with the love hormones that are SUPPOSED to be released through natural childbirth, that create attachment... not to say it happens to all mothers who are numbed, but it's interesting to me the amount of mothers who suffer post partum after experiencing an un-natural birth
