Must see documentary
Posted .Ricki Lake does a great job of showing how the US went from birth being a natural thing to making it all medical and how there is a growing interest in the US to bring the natural part back and how it's still safe to us a midwife for a huge majority of births. The movie also shows that using a midwife is a big cost saving on both the family and the insurance company, midwife birth, a few thousands while a hospital birth, goes in the tens or hundreds of thousand of dollar. The movie also shows that for some births you still do need a doctor and hospital, but not at the rate the US is running at. All pregnant families and families thinking about starting a family should watch this movie.
I would recommend this to a friend
