Has anyone seen More Business of Being Born? It has a nice in depth interview with her and her team. It's great. It's on netflix.

Don't bother. While he gives you somethings to think about I truly believe his attitude and behavior cause him to be dismissed by a lot of the people he spoke to about the issues he was bringing up.

Quoting sparklebug86:

hmm havent seen that one yet

Quoting GoddessNDaRuff:

You are right, it isn't one sided at all just educational. I watched Pregnant in America like someone in here suggested and it annoyed me. They were extremely one sided and the guy narrating it was just a pill.

Quoting sparklebug86:

you should watch it

Im not huge into documentaries and feel that they are often one sided but I was really impressed with this documentary and the original (the business of being born)

Quoting Pandapanda:

I haven't seen it, yet.

Have you read her book "Spirtal Midwifery"? I love it. My mom has one of the originals. 

Quoting GoddessNDaRuff:

It's so amazing that she had taken a vow of poverty and they all just lived together and developed their practice. I learned so much, like I didn't know there was other ways to induce labor other than pitocin.

Quoting jamie93:

I saw the first one on netflix and bought the 2nd one. I used to live in Five Points Tn about 45 minutes away from Summertown Tn where The Farm is located. We just recently moved about 300 miles south :( If we hadn't moved I'd be having this baby at The Farm. My parents and I used to go there when I was little. They were buddy buddy with a lot of people up there, so they always got invited to the festivals. It was really fun as a kid. They are so free and open minded. I wish I lived on The Farm.

My fiance was so against me having a midwife. When we were trying this discussion came up and he said I need a doctor because they know more. I made him watch both of these with me.. after he watched them he said " your definitely NOT going to a doctor your keeping your midwife" I was so happy he was so interested in it and it really taught him a lot . I think k more hubbys should take the time to watch this.
