Mollycat, if you read the book I mentioned you'll understand why they end up with more caesars over there.

It also made me realise why I don't want a home birth. My house is to "exposed"]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2011 20:55:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40215&PID=1377689&title=the-business-of-being-born-doco#1377689 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40215&PID=1377593&title=the-business-of-being-born-doco#1377593 Author: mollycat

I watched this a couple of years ago and having lived in the States I can tell you I would never give birth there! My sister in law had a natural, drug free labour at hospital (cause get this...home birth is illegal in the State I grew up in as is...wait for it...BREASTFEEDING in public!! )...anyway, people were always like "Why would you do it naturally?" Most of my friends have ended up with Ceasars and I HIGHLY doubt they were medically necessary. I am in love with the system over here.]]> Thu, 18 Aug 2011 17:47:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40215&PID=1377593&title=the-business-of-being-born-doco#1377593 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40215&PID=1377072&title=the-business-of-being-born-doco#1377072 Author: AandCsmum

You guys should read Birth and breastfeeding by Odent, found it in my local library, it's an interesting read of how a ob/dr has set up a birthing unit that works on least intervention/privacy & what can happen when this happens, really interesting what our bodies are capable of & how they shut down when birth becomes a public arena.]]> Wed, 17 Aug 2011 14:22:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40215&PID=1377072&title=the-business-of-being-born-doco#1377072 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40215&PID=1377057&title=the-business-of-being-born-doco#1377057 Author: Nothing

Yeah I have seen it but I already knew how crap America is about the birthing process. Over there it is a medical procedure that needs to be monitored and regulated and if you dont do things exactly like they want in the time frame given then they just C-sect you.

Its so sad that people allow it to happen. Luckily alot of people after having a terrible first birth experience go on to do more research and often end up having a hoome birth or a drug free/ non intervention hospital birth, and as a result the home birth rates are soaring.

I am glad we live in a country that still has midwives and doesnt want to outlaw them (like australia).]]> Wed, 17 Aug 2011 14:09:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40215&PID=1377057&title=the-business-of-being-born-doco#1377057 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=40215&PID=1376910&title=the-business-of-being-born-doco#1376910 Author: Plushie

Hey lovely ladies,

If you ever wanted to be super glad that you gave/will give birth in NZ and not the States check out this thought provoking (albeit rather biased) documentary - I was riveted, amazed, inspired and disgusted all at once
