hmm... looks interesting! I'll be watching. Don't care if it's biased Sometimes you need a hardhitting doco like that to get the point across. If you start being all politically correct so as not to hurt feelings, the point gets lost.

If Supersize Me had 'softened' its message by saying that on the flipside, if you exercise and eat such and such to counteract eating some mcdonalds meals, it would have totally lost the impact of the message it had.. that fast food is very unhealthy, and it's marketing is geared so much towards our children. Now, whenever we get takeaway, this movie ALWAYS comes to mind.

I hope this doco can have the same impact.. whether it's extreme or not.. if it comes to mind during our dealings with OB's and midwives, I think it can only be a good thing. It will make us take a step back and question whether the 'care' we're receiving is part of the medical system, or if it's something we really do need.

I must admit, I'm not a home-birther hehe. Perhaps I'm one that can't shake the thinking However, I try to fight the system whilst in it. It is still possible to be under the care of an OB and reduce your risk of intervention. Find a good OB, be well informed, and be sure they are going to follow your wishes. You don't have to be at home to enjoy the empowered natural birth, you can have it hospital too, it's just a harder fight.
