Okay, so I finished the documentary. I said I was going to wait until my husband could finish it with me, but I couldn't wait.
It was amazing.
I would like to say that it changed my life, but having my son in crappy hospital, and having been under the care of a crappy doctor for the entire pregnancy is what made me evaluate my options, and is what opened my eyes.
But if you have never considered the way the US treats childbirth, this movie will change your life, or at least open your eyes to a lot of things.
The documentary talks about how we as a country got to where we are where childbirth is concerned. It talks about the good, the bad and the ugly regarding how doctors and hospitals treat pregnant women and childbirth.
The documentary isn't pushy, yet it doesn't tip toe around the truth.
I think anyone who has had a baby, or ever plans on having a baby should watch this documentary. And if you are a "crazy hippy" like myself, who wants to have a baby in a bath tub and go home five minutes later, you should make your family watch the documentary, that way they wont treat you like a "crazy hippy."
