The Business of Being Born

My friend John and his fiance Katie went with Cali and I to a special showing of a movie called The Business of Being Born. We drove a ways into St. Louis to a place called the Ethical Society. I thought the movie was REALLY good. It showed some of the differences of having a birth in a hospital vs. having a home birth with a midwife. It was really interesting to see what's done in hospitals and how parents can be pressured into things. I got to see this when my friends Kennie and Angie had their son Andy in a local hospital. I would highly recommend seeing the movie, you can get more information about it on their website here. You can also purchase the DVD from their site starting in March. I'd also be happy to answer any questions about it. The only drawback is that you have to see Ricky Lake naked giving birth in a bathtub...but I guess it could be worse.
