BOBB repost from May 2012

Business of being born
Will this movie gross out my husband, I have decided to watch it since im planning to go without pain meds and I am working on hypnobabies home study coarse and my husband thinks it a complete joke so I am not having him participate in it.
Well I have been recommended this movie and and thinking of trying to get my husband to watch this. He was very interested in watching our DS1 be born but I think he would be pretty not happy with me if I had him watch another women push a baby out.
I could always watch it first but I would rather just force him to watch it now so I don't have to wait till next weekend. He forces me to watch some really boring shows so I think I can actually make him watch this.
Anyway opinions on this from anyone whose watched it?

It will definitely be good for him to watch, especially if you need him to be more supportive of natural birth. My DH is a baby when it comes to birth too but I told him to get over it lol. It's really no big deal, especially if he plans to attend his DS's birth!
I honestly can't remember how graphic BOBB gets. There is definitely women in labor and some boobs but I don't recall full on vag shots.
there are fully naked scenes where you will see the babies being pulled out etc...so if you think your DH may be sensitive to that kind of material then you may want to consider watching first...
but, with that said i thought the documentary was beautifully done and the birth scenes and nudity in the film were completely acceptable and tasteful (not gross at all in my opinion).
I think you will enjoy it! your DH may be a different story though.
This completely.
thanks ladies, hes agreed to watch it. I wasn't worried about him seeing nudity I just didn't want it to be anything he found too gory. But I will defiantly be sending my 4 year old out of the room, I was already planning too. I think he thinks the baby is gonna come out my belly button or something which im completely fine with. No need to tramatize him.
My husband is fine with me doing natural birth I just felt like when we had our first son we knew nothing, I didnt even know I had the right to turn down the epi (I was only 19 and I guess I just felt I had to do as the doctor said.) I even thought my doctor could force me to induce at 39 weeks when he tried too. Luckily baby came on his on before then.
My husband watched it as well as PG in America. I don't think it is stomach turning or anything. If there is some part he doesn't want to see then he can turn his pansy head away. Seriously though, make him watch it. I feel like my H would probably think I'm nuts for wanting a NB if it were not for those movies.
As far as hypnobabies.... I do the homecourse by myself. I read the bubble of peace script by myself and I think its fine. I do lay down and listen to the tracks with him next to me in bed so that I can get over feeling like "does he think this is stupid" or anything like that. I also just tell DH the important parts. Like the hand on the shoulder as a peace cue. I have also shared what my special safe place is like. He was more interested than I thought and to my surprise he even questioned me about it further.
DH does not think that hypno anything would work for him but he accepts the fact that it does work for me. Try to have a conversation with your H that he can feel the way that he feels but tell him to shut his trap if he has anything negative to say. I had this convo very early on with DH and I am glad that I did.
Good luck with everything : )
