PM me if anyone would like to know the blue mountain details.
The one you PM'd me is already in the first post FJ.
Somehow I don't think I will be making it. Not unless I can take this baby with me. She is trying to get her way out now.
Oh der sorry. I could have swore when I looked at it it said TBA? LOL oh well.:

Bumping for those who may want to express an interest in a second Brisbane screening :)
Got my ticket for the Brisbane screening, cannot wait :D !
Just curious who got to see this movie? I can't wait til its on dvd here in Australia:)
When will it be available on DVD? And where can we buy it? Will you be selling it Kell?
They'll release it here when they have a deal over here I think... waiting for a big company to fork out perhaps. But no plans as yet.
Will it be screening in Melbourne or somewhere in Victoria at any point in time soon ?? :rolleyes:
I've put on three screenings since December last year and there has been a screening with another group too, so I don't think it will happen anytime soon...
I confirmed with the BOBB team and they said they are waiting for deals to distribute the film here and put it on TV too.
I missed the QLD screenings :doh:, does anyone know if there are any more planned?
I watched this documentary a couple of nights ago and I highly recommend it. Although a lot of the content is directed at what is happening in the US in regards to birthing, I still think that it is highly approriate for what also seems to be an increasing trend in Australia.
While the documentary hasn't convinced me to have a home-birth when I am lucky enough to fall pregnant, it HAS confirmed my current choices in my natural birth-plan and made me feel more confident not only in my choices, but in my faith in my own body.
I hope everyone else that has seen the documentary has enjoyed it, and gained as much from it as I have :)
I watched this with DF on saturday night and I have to say
THANKYOU
to belly belly for putting this out there and promoting this doco - had it not been for you guys I probably would not have heard of this and would have gone on to use my ob. (even with everythign else I have read on BB etc I sstill wanted my ob, until I watched this)
YOU HAVE SAVED ME NEARLY $3,000.00!!!!!!!!!!
I am now booking in to the labour ward (birthing centre full but looks promising that they might be able to fit me in - not quite sure how that works??!!) so hopefully natural no drug, no intervention delivery here we come!!!
And probably alot more besides, Kitt3n ;):
It's great that you got so much from the film...I think the beauty of it is that it conveys so well what alot of us here bang on about, day in day out - in such a powerful way! Wonderful film, I can't wait to see it again :) Good luck for your birth! :)
Does anyone know if you can Buy it here yet? or when or where I could see it... would love to have it at home as I would love for my DS and DD1 to be at the birth of number 4 not the I am even UTD yet LOL but think it would be good for them to see what a birth would be like...
Would it be a good thing for them to see before they see me or not ?
tali, i dont know if your kids would sit through the whole thing but I wouldnt have a problem with DD watching it.
Tali belly belly sells them they have just arrived in stock and I recieved mine on friday in the mail!!!
Havent had a chance to watch it yet hope to this week.
Can someone ease my mind on this...? I watched the trailer and I felt pride for the women who have empowered themselves but mainly I felt guilt that I couldn't do the natural woman thing. I feel like a failure for having to have a c/s. Maybe if I was to watch the whole thing it might be easier to take but I just felt that it was putting down c/s births
Kate :hug::
I agree the trailer is quite confronting. But when you actually watch the film it isn't really about the "process" of giving birth. Sure birth is the subject matter but the film isn't your typical natural/vaginal/caesarean debate fodder.
It's about the birth business - the thrust of it is about intervention and interference, about how healthy women have been forced into hospitals to do something that is essentially a normal life event. The medicalisation of normal birth, and the way that we've become part of a production line. How we've lost trust in the process as a society, even women.
Even though there is some focus on the producers homebirth, even that is in the context of her wish to avoid being part of that system and to have the birth she wanted - not about homebirth being a "better choice" iykwim.
I'd hate for you not to see it because you feel that it's denigrating your birth...I've also had an unplanned caesarean so I know where you're coming from but I didn't find it left me feeling like that all.
Kate - you'll have to watch it to see the full message it's putting out there. It doesn't attack mothers at all but blames a whole heap of things that ARE responsible for the massive increase in c/s. I'm not promoting this big time for sales, but because women NEED to see it. Its not just the USA - it's here - and we have a higher c/s rate than the USA. PLEASE watch it. I urge everyone to, nothing will change until you understand how women have been treated, manipulated, lied to... and it's very prevalent.

I don't think that the movie "puts down" c/sect births, rather it explains how a lot of them and augmented births end up happening.
Tali even though the birthing scenes are beautiful, the footage of what they used to do to women in labour is quite confronting and would be quite scary for a child. It shows old footage women being tied up and blindfolded :(
I would recommend that if you want to prepare your son for seeing a birth in the future that you watch it without him first so you can decide if he can handle the images. I wouldn't let mine see it.
would you say its worth the money?
it sounds interesting but i am not sure what id get out of
I've sold 100 in 1 week and not had one complaint, only loads of thank-yous for promoting/selling it. it is VERY worth it. I am getting in another 10 this week, no doubt they will go quick too.
I thought it was well worth the money... But then, I was sympathetic already - it just reinforced something I already believed to be true.
I enjoyed the fact that they included differing PsOV - like from MWs and OBs. There were indeed some confronting scenes, but well worth seeing IMO.
And Kate, so sorry that you felt that way. :hug: I think I can understand, as IMO it does tend to focus more on the clinical aspect of c/s, and therefore it looks more negative emotionally IYKWIM. But it is certainly not criticising women who have c/s, but just as Tobily said, the push of the industry for women to have more medicalised births unnecessarily. IMO they are more about calling the industry to account, not birthing women.
I think this movie highlights the important place c-sections have in critical situations, while at the same time showing the damaging effect the industry is having on birth in general. It is well worth seeing!!
I personally wouldn't share it with children as a preparation for birth- it's not that sort of documentary. I'd show them some lovely birth montages etc. to set them up for the beautiful experience of birth.
