    Oh I know. I have always been strong in my feelings of having a natural childbirth, but that movie made me fall in love with home births. I still have to see an OB for the first half of my pregnancy. If everything goes well i'll be doing a home birth.

    I loved that movie too! However, in case of an emergency I would like to be at a hospital with a NIC unit. Last thing I would want is to have my baby taken away by ambulance.

    I am planning on delivering with a Certified Nurse Midwife. I know one of the hospitals in my area actually have water birth rooms, I thought it would be interesting to check out.

    I've never heard of it, but thanks - i'll check it out on Netflix.

    I don't know if it will change my views of giving birth in the hospital or not; I'm pretty adament on going there, getting the epidural and such. Of course, when I was in last February, the Labor & Delivery nurses were fantastic and sympathetic to our situation. They made our stay the best it could be under the circumstances. And well, the epidural was like heaven.

    The great thing about this movie is while yes it really does advicate home birth it also talks a lot about HOW we give birth in America. What I mean is being induced, scheduled c-section, and the high risks with both those.

     While yes the idea of a home birth is wonderful I will be giving birth to my child in a hospital (past medical issues) but it will be on my babys time line not one set by the American medical community. I will not pump my body full of pitocin to speed things up.
