Thanks so much smwife for the link. I have watched some of it and will watch the rest later. I saw the beautiful home water birth. It was fantasic the little that we actually saw. The woman seemed so much in control.

wow just finished watching, thats the first time i've witnessed women giving birth I can't wait till i start uni its just soo amazing. Hopefully i'm going to witness my aunty giving birth I can't wait

Glad you guys liked it!

I thought it was well done and have finally watched to the end.

It is an honest account of childbirth in modern times and I like the mix of views and opinions. And the disparity between normality in birth and the medicalisation that is all too prevalent today.

Great scenes of normal birth too.

Pitocin I assume is the USA equivalent to syntocinon?

Off to look it up

Brilliant... Thoroughly enjoyed it, the different views and attitudes towards MW and OB/GYN was really interesting!

I cried most of the way through it... Was very fragile last night but was great to watch!

I jus can't believe that the statistics are sooo high in America its shocking. Its not that bad over here in England.
Anyways this is a discussion people we're meant to be discussing things like elective cesarean, choices for women, changes in Midwifery/maternity care or lack of it etc.
Come on people this is a discussion forum

You start then limz, what's your opinion on all that you've mentioned?
Tis always good to have a starting point! Maybe people will all chip in with their own views then.
