The Business Of Being Born Movie...

[Alexis__]

Have any of you ladies seen the documentary? If so, what is your intake on the documentary? Did it make you think differently, and are you still sticking with your birth plan or ???

I just seen the documentary and I'm still tryna soak it all in...a little lost and confused at the moment but wanted to see what you ladies had to say.

I've watched it,  and I thought it sends a good message to moms to be- however this is my third and it didn't change my birth plan. I think it's great for first time moms or moms with a perfectly good pregnancy.  I'm high risk this third time,  but even if I wasn't I like having the options of Pitocin and Epidurals when necessary.  It did confuse me in the end when she wanted a home birth but had to deliver at the hospital. Luckily everything went well but it definitely reminds us to be flexible. My opinion though.

I watched it as well and my jaw was literally on the floor after watching it, but like Oct3014 I've decide to go all natural within a hospital environment(:

No just one but this is my 2nd baby and we plan on having one more after this once. Thank you! Same to you too (:

Are you having twins?? I'm sorry to hear that I hope everything goes well =)

I have my doubts tho that the info in the documentary is all true. Either way I have to have my babies in the hospital because I'm high risk.

I had to watch it twice and rewind some parts because it was shocking to me all the info and statistics. But I didn't eliminate all my options I also got info from mom's who did it another way and just thought about what was best for me. I think it's a mind thing when it comes down to it. I know when my mind is at peace and clear I'm calmer and relaxed which is why I chose the natural route and a midwife.

I just posted about this and I love that documentary!! I had to do a paper on it for a medical class and tons of research on the topic. Me personally it changed my while view of giving birth. I plan to go natural but not at home a birthing center and if I do need other help god forbid then I'll have them on stand by but other than that I'm sticking to my plan!
