BellyBelly's Screening: The Business of Being Born - Post-Movie Discussion

[Smoke Jaguar]

Thanks so much for this, Kel - it affirmed everything I have come to know about birthing! I'm definitely adding this one to my personal library when it comes out on DVD next year.
What a beautiful film! Great to catch up with so many people, too!
Sez - thanks for finding me! I was going to introduce you to some others who wanted to meet you IRL, and you were gone! I was telling Bathsheba that you have a 'perfect little face' ... now she'll have to wait to see!
Kell - I didn't write my contact details on my or my friend's raffle tickets, and I'm sure that I had the winning ticket (!!!) - would you post here if someone won who only put a first name (in the case of my friend, I put her surname initial)? I'm sure I won
THANK YOU!!!

I loved it- I was captivated through the whole movie! I would love to be able to see it again before writing my birth plan as it raised some questions for me but I've forgotten what they were I'm sure the trusty books will help though.

I didn't find it changed my opinion or was a huge revelation to me but it certainly cemented a lot. Even little things like the long term effect the drugs could have on babies... I'm always saying that, but not with any real backing. It was nice to see it raised in the movie. I found the effect of a lack of natural drugs for the baby an interesting point that I hadn't considered before.

Thank you so much for organising this Kelly! Please say a huge thank you to Miranda too... her story scared me though. My worst nightmare is get bumped from the birth centre... why can we have so little trust in the medical professionals surrounding birth???
