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

[SweetPea]

I saw a screening at Avoca, I brought my husband along and he actually really enjoyed it too, he said he understands more now why I feel so strongly about having a drug free birth.
The way they described the effect of the pain relief drugs and the pit on the baby was great, really cemented in the fact that although the mother may not be feeling pain with an epidural the baby is still being subjected to contractions leading to fetal distress and the cascade of intervention.
I'm recommending this film to all my friends TTC! Does anyone know if it will be released in the cinemas, or will it go straight to DVD?

I think every woman should see this doco, it is very important from a women's rights perspective as well as for birth advocates,

hope to see you all there,
