My passion of natural childbirth has grown tremendously since I became pregnant for the first time in 2008. Now that I am pregnant again, I want to share my passion of natural childbirth and teach the valuable tools I have learned through research and my birth experience by teaching natural childbirth the Bradley way.
But when people ask me how I decided to have a natural childbirth, I think back to only 3 months before my first baby was born and realize my decision was made after I watched The Business of Being Born, an impressive documentary. After I watched with amazement, I began researching all types of natural birthing and delivery methods. The Bradley Method, appealed to my husband and I so we joined a class and submerged ourselves in three months of training. We were lucky enough to have a successful natural birth at a hospital, with help from a Doula and an educated mindset.
I highly recommend watching The Business of Being Born, and even if it doesn't move you at least it will open your eyes.
Here is the synopsis:
Birth is a miracle, a rite of passage, a natural part of life. But birth is also big business.
Compelled to explore the subject after the delivery of her first child, actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to question the way American women have babies.
The film interlaces intimate birth stories with surprising historical, political and scientific insights and shocking statistics about the current maternity care system. When director Epstein discovers she is pregnant during the making of the film, the journey becomes even more personal.
Should most births be viewed as a natural life process, or should every delivery be treated as a potentially catastrophic medical emergency?
