The Business Of Being Born

I have been wanting to watch this movie FOREVER and I do mean like right after I found out Ricki Lake made it. For those of you who do not know what I am talking about, check it out at
http://www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com/trailer.php. It is a movie about how society has made labor into just another medical procedure - even one father describes his ability to watch his wife have a c-section and then head home for dinner. We have to take into account that the United States is the ONLY country where hospital births outweigh home and natural births - in some countries, there is no maternity ward or hospital that cares for moms and newborns ... yet we still have some substantially high infant death rates during childbirth. God gave us the ability to naturally give birth and to work through the pain of labor yet we are all so quick to get the drugs and do whatever is the easiest. I am writing this BEFORE watching the video, but I have read the commentary and watched the trailer. I will come back with an update after I have completed the movie and would also love to have other comments from people who have feelings on this as well. Just thought I would put something else on the blog that I feel strongly about besides just my beautiful babies and my love for houses :)
