"Business of Being Born" and "Pushed"

Wow!  My husband and I rented "Business of Being Born" and watched it a few nights ago and I was seriously blown away.  I cried.  My husband told me that he thought he "failed me" and in a sad way that is like the sweetest thing ever.  I am horrified that this is what the United States has come to in terms of birthing.  The movie is eye-opening to the disgusting way that birth is being handled now a days.  I wish every woman would watch this!

I'm now starting the book "Pushed" as well and its equally disturbing, if not moreso.  I sometimes have to put the book down even though I'm so into it and want to learn as much as possible- its just so upsetting to me.  I have this nasty scar on my stomach and an even bigger one in my heart and mind, for probably no reason at all.  If I had read this book and watched the movie before my first birth I guarantee that I would have had a homebirth.  Now thats not an option as no one around here practices homebirths for VBACs.

    I am not a fan of overly biased documentaries so I was turned off by BOBB.  But I recognize I am in the minority amongst this board. 

    That being said, glad you found it helpful.

    I wholeheartedly agree with you!

    Yeah I was not a fan of BOBB. Too one sided, not every hospital or doc is a baby factory. People just have to educate themselves as well as listen to those whose job it is to get you and the baby safely through delivery.
