PSA the More Business of Being Born VBAC movie is available

Harper'smom

I'm looking forward to watching this. I'm super curious to see if the producer gets her VBAC. Don't spoil it for me. I won't be able to watch today. Hopefully a few others around here will watch it and we can discuss/critique it.

The VBAC Dilemma: What Your Options Really Are 

The VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) has become a hot-button issue in the modern maternity care system, as one in three new mothers will give birth via cesarean section. Are all of these mothers then forced to undergo a repeat cesarean the
next time around? Epstein and Lake posed that question to dozens of experts, determining the surprising truth about VBACs. They also follow several women?s stories ? both those who succeed and fail at attempting a VBAC ? including that of filmmaker Abby Epstein, whose first c-section delivery was depicted in the dramatic, final moments of The Business of Being Born. (Running Time: 51 min)

Thanks for sharing, I want to watch this when I get some time.  

The bolded part makes me cringe.

Agreed. I wish we could do away with the success/failure dichotomy. I'm looking forward to watching this.

My ICAN chapter did a pre-screening a few weeks ago and it was fantastic! I' love to hear what you guys think of it when you get a chance to see it.

We need to have a board discussion.  Everyone watch it!

I want to watch all 4 parts...but I bet it will be a long time before it's available on Netflix.  Anyone know?  Maybe I just bite the bullet now.

I'm waiting for netflix too. I hope it comes out soon. My guess is it will be awhile though.

I'm buying the downloadable VBAC part and watching it tonight!

I'm going to buy the VBAC part and watch it this weekend!

Harper'smom

Hmmm...just watched it and have mixed feelings.

I just finished it this second too, and I won't spoil anything.. but I didn't like it.

I feel like it was too negative.. had I not already had a VBAC and I watched this movie, I would have felt even more defeated about having one. They made it seem close to impossible to actually obtain a VBAC especially in a hospital setting and didn't make me feel comfortable with an HBAC setting either.

I think this will do more to discourage women about their CHANCES of VBAC than anything else, but just my opinion. I'm still glad I watched it, but I'm glad I already achieved a VBAC when watching it
