Thanks for the email Kelly. I wonder if this will eventually be shown on Aussie tv like the "Super Size Me" was? That doco caused a stir, likewise the Michael Moore doco (something colombine - sorry can't remember the name and it caused a fued between family which is still ongoing!). It would be nice if all jorno stories were all completely balanced but saddly they're not and may never be - due to the basic *want* of making money. Take the 60 minutes story on Attachment Parenting. That story was aimed at the very, very, very extremes of Attachment Parenting and the majority of AP parents do not behave this way. Unfortunately the story only served to widen the gap between those that do and those that don't. Will this new doco be the same? Will it really highlight some of the unnecessary medical interventions that goes on with having a baby? Will it highlight the lack of skills the medical profession now has in some aspects of child birth such has breech birth? Will it highlight the old *too posh to push* which is still quite common these days. Will it highlight the scaremongering tactics used by the profession such as "you have to have an assisted labour if you are attempting a natural birth after a caesarean therefore you cannot do anything that comes naturally ie walk around, pace but instead you are to be strapped to a machine at all times to monitor in case your uterus pops open!" I agree this doco maybe more one-sided but it will be doing one thing... it will be alerting the general public to what actually goes on in childbirth whether they want to know what goes on or not.

On a completely separate issue... I've been wanting to acquire some vbac birth stories for a book that I'm planning on producing and have found opposition, why would that be? I would have thought that as there isn't enough stories out there in actual book form that could be either bought or borrowed from the library with Aussie women having vbac births I thought that this project would have been supported, especially for those who don't have access to the internet. Can anyone explain why this project of mine is not being supported and how do I change it so it will be?

Hey if someone can do a doco on Birthing in America, junk food making people fat as in Super Size Me, and the shooting in schools doco by Michael Moore, then surely my little project can get some support? Any ideas would be great!
