Ricki Lake Birth Documentary: The Business of Being Born

[Adnil]

Kell, I am talking to our local homebirth midwife about having this screened locally. Do you know exactly what is involved. ie: you pay the $200, then what? I am really hoping we can organise this soon for our area.

[BellyBelly]

I heard its going to be in the Blue Mountains soon - and also SA and WA are planning it... as well as me doing a VIC one. So as soon as I have details will let you know - all the details are on their website for booking a screening. xx

Thanks Kell, I'll have a look.

KELLY - Is there going to be a presentation by What Women Want at the Melbourne screening?

The cost has gone up to $300 now, and the DVD will be released in March '08 for those willing to wait.

There are screenings in the works for Brisbane too...

[BellyBelly]

There will be a screening in Adelaide on the 2nd of December - awaiting confirmation will let you know. There are screenings in Byron Bay, Parramatta, Hobart, ACT and Perth being planned too.

oh i would love to see it! Baby might have other plans...!!! Do you know where and who is organising it in Adelaide?

[Indadhanu]

How much would the DVD be to buy in March? And where would the QLD screening be held? I would love to come, and even Shel is interested, as well as my SIL and another friend... What kind of venue and equipment is needed? Just wondering, I really want to see this, have heard so much about it.

[sushee]

Looking forward to the WA screening.

Ooh, goodie for the Brissy one, we usually get left out. If anyone hears details of one in Brissy can you please post them? I'd love to see it.

Thanks Hester thats fine, if you could please ask permission before posting events next time, as per all BB members (like yourself) have to do as part of our forum guidelines.

[Trish]

Kelly, do you know if the one at Parramatta is going ahead or if so when ??

I am keen to go too. Not that I have that much more time up my sleeves before bub is here.

[BellyBelly]

Not sure, have you emailed Jane?

[FluffyLaRue]

I'd love to attend this, but I can't find anyone to come with me! I was talked out of a homebirth with my 2nd and 3rd... my 4th I hoped I would have at home "by accident" but ended up with an emergency C.
I got all the guilt about putting my baby at risk and I regret the missed opportunity.

[BellyBelly]

Bridie, lots of people are coming on their own! You would be surprised - the majority of people have bought one ticket. Maybe BB members could wear something like a purple ribbon to identify each other and catch up!
