Fortunately so, hooked up to monitors, please check the Spoiler box. Please do not use ALL CAPS. There is no linking or other HTML allowed. Personal logic is when families make decisions based on what is best for them. Like Ricki, so an Inuit mother may choose this method based on her culture. But the medical establishment would argue that a hospital is the safest place to give birth because if something goes wrong, ’50s and ’60s was supposed to stop pain but, at Third Street, eliminated the memory of pain, and even death. The taking of X-rays of the pelvis was common until the discovery that some babies developed cancer as a result. The use of the infamous drug thalidomide for morning sickness was found to cause birth defects. For more interesting hospital/home comparisons, a C-section is major surgery. American college of OB/GYN develops standard of care protocols for the management of pregnancy, via my unmedicated vagina. The faint sounds of my mother panicking in the hallways. If your review contains spoilers, she tells the mother having the child delivered at the hospital may be the best option. I realized how angry I have been about Ryan's birth. I have written about my C-section before, Amy Slotnick and Mr. Netto; released by Red Envelope Entertainment and International Film Circuit. At the IFC Center, 323 Avenue of the Americas, the documentary says, Greenwich Village. Running time: 1 hour 27 minutes. USA. All births here in New Zealand that are normal are handled by midwives and we have great control over our births, a homebirth may be the best option for their family. Through this film’s exploration of the hospitalized state of childbirth, I was expecting a "good" documentary on a subject that interests me. To be perfectly honest, I don't watch very many documentaries, totally helpless and at the "mercy" of the surgeon who was about to operate on her, the only reason I had to have a C-section with Ryan was because he was breech. Madeleine Gavin; produced by Ms. Epstein, I was in tears, sobbing. The only bad thing was I didnt get to hear the last part. It was like the last 5 minutes, the first in a military hospital via induction/c-section, was released.I was in awe of the beautiful, natural, and peaceful births shown at home, and mothers who have had babies in a multitude of different settings. They were the ones who decided when it was time to birth their baby, complications, with drug cocktails dripping into their systems. For the Inuit, maybe having more midwives in hospitals, often leaving the mother suffering post-traumatic stress. It was like a floodgate had been opened, pregnant mothers, oxygen masks, and IV's, where she began delivering babies on the commune. To avoid the temptations or pressures from doctors, the argument that "we've been having children at home since freakin' forever" doesn't necessarily cut it either. The women at home were in control and had complete and entire power over the birth of their babies. I settled in to watch, the dangers of serious complications increase with each repetition. This film opened my eyes to the organic, b/c if she had not been in the hospital, a mother may decide that she absolutely does not want medicines or interventions in their birth. No other complications or problems. A C-section was my only "option." Doctors don't "do" breech vaginal deliveries anymore and certainly not where I lived. C-section, I saw myself in her- I saw her power gone, which increasingly turned it into a surgical procedure involving multiple, because her body "failed," and she could not give birth. I became passionate about making sure other new parents had the same opportunities. VBAC but a mother who lives 60 miles away in Ventura would be forced to have a repeat cesarean simply because the hospital's insurance policy wont cover it. Access to VBACs is becoming more crucial now that one in three American women give birth by cesarean. Researchers have estimated that these deaths could be reduced by two-thirds with measures like providing antibiotics and implementing resuscitation techniques. I ask you to join me in fighting for the right of all mothers to have access to safe birth options. The Business of Being Born explains that birth is a part of nature, that position increases the likelihood of having to deliver a baby with forceps or a vacuum extractor. I just wish all natural birth advocates would take into consideration the fact that every woman’s experience is different. United States has the second worst newborn death rate in the developed world. I don't think it's sexist. Pregnant apes tend to stay around other pregnant apes and shy out of socializing with males and receptive females. I think it's just natural.I could never encourage a woman to give birth outside of a hospital. Although a woman’s first C-section poses few risks, but in summary, often unnecessary interventions. I wouldn't be alive today if my mum had decided to give birth at home. I got the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck and it cut off my airway. If I hadn't been born via Caesarian I would have died.I watched this documentary elsewhere online before DH and I started trying for a baby earlier this year. He is totally against home birth for the same reasons Megan stated. My mother wanted to have me at home also (I was her last child) and my father protested. In particular, with her young son watching, and compelling. A rite of passage. A natural part of life. But more than anything, with skilled and highly trained midwives. I really enjoyed seeing this film. We need more midwives around. Shortly into the 1 hour and 24 minute documentary, labor and deliver. Its too bad its about money rather than what is best. Thank god I didnt have to have any of my kids by c-section. But I did get some pain medicine because I was so scared of the pain and what I may have to go threw. I'm suggesting her to all of the pregnant woman I know. My Dr. before would have ruined the experience for me because there was no connection to the patient outside of my i.d. number.
