That being said, I do not see myself providing home births(they are also illegal for CNM's to provide in my state), I believe women have the right to have home births however there is a lot of responsibility the midwife takes on providing one. I would blame myself if something went wrong during a home birth I was assisting. It limits the options of the midwife.<br /><br />I think a lot of issues with midwives in hospitals involves the differences between the medical model and the midwifery model. I know that the U.S. is behind the rest of the world when it comes to excepting midwives and the practice of midwifery as an autonomous profession. That being said, I think health care is an ever changing field. I think more doctors are wiling to except women's birth plans and wishes.Cajun Cutiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14825687783196553820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-8824444361695224122009-05-18T22:16:00.000-04:002009-05-18T22:16:00.000-04:00oh the irony is RIGHT! that movie totally annoyed ...oh the irony is RIGHT! that movie totally annoyed me. I am ALL about education and being informed but that movie was 100% anti-hospital. way to make a nice "balanced" documentary!<br /><br />there is a reason why nobody goes into obstetrics anymore. lawyers! god forbid something goes wrong with a birth. everyone is so sue happy. let's all blame the doctor! joy's post is painfully wrong. obs do not "push" unnecessary interventions! this mentality drives me insane! ultimately the task is to deliver a live baby (and keep the insurance companies happy. and keep the hospital beds empty. and keep the lawyers away...)tryingin2007https://www.blogger.com/profile/11696872171761663145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-54257085042075453972009-05-18T17:10:00.000-04:002009-05-18T17:10:00.000-04:00I haven't seen it either.

But with having a natural birth with my first and an epidural with the second I can say if I ever give birth again I will ask for the drug with no shame. My birth experience was wonderful and the midwives were great. I definetly think there is a fine balance, it doesn't have to be so heavily tipped in one direction. I think its so hard for women to get say what they want because people are so vocal against being induced and or having an epidural. I'm not even sure I want to see it now.FattyPantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08471930990530375865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-58296315087372652412009-05-18T16:45:00.000-04:002009-05-18T16:45:00.000-04:00I have been wanting to see this movie and I just h...I have been wanting to see this movie and I just had Scott add it to Netflix.<br /><br />If I had a penny for all of the negative comments I got about having a re-peat c-section, I would be a millionaire!<br /><br />My philosphy has been and always will be, as long as the baby is healthy, I don't care how the heck s/he gets here. Same with infertility treatments. God wouldn't have given people these talents if he didn't want us to use them. :o)Jill Ticehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571739769307393083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-60302770665332313602009-05-18T15:18:00.000-04:002009-05-18T15:18:00.000-04:00I think you are lucky that you had such an awesome...I think you are lucky that you had such an awesome L&D unit on your side because the problem is that most OBGYNs do push unnecessary interventions that end up putting the mom at higher risk for c-sections or the use of assisted birth (forceps, vacuum).<br /><br />Babies just need to be able to come when ready, unless deemed medically necessary. <br /><br />I do agree that the video does push one birthing option (home birth) but that was their agenda and I don't think they've been quiet about that.<br /><br />I'm glad you had a great birth the first time around and I hope that you (and I) have another great birth experience this time around... in a hospital! LOL! I do agree that I love the hospital.Joy@WDDCHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709113785857792361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-75204696548393024842009-05-18T12:02:00.000-04:002009-05-18T12:02:00.000-04:00I feel like many of the women on that side of thin...I feel like many of the women on that side of things push the home birth idea, while those of us who went the hospital route are more prone to be open to whatever it best for the individual. I think you ALWAYS have to do what is best for you and while a lot of women give me a terrible look for OPTING for a c-section, I don't care. I did what my doctor and my husband and I thought was best and my birth experience was quite honestly perfection. I would not change a thing. And I admire people who home birth, good for them. If you are strong and healthy enough and have an ideal enough pregnancy to go that route--I bet it is awesome.Mazzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16914742489846963185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231056327765729534.post-48662541899626622792009-05-18T11:54:00.000-04:002009-05-18T11:54:00.000-04:00I haven't seen the movie yet... but want to.
