yep def more on the home birth side! i thought it was a great show on it didnt make me angry about them telling too much crap lol

was amazed to watch to 2 different births though and see the differece in the babies actions after being born........... made me cry watching the home birth

I thought it was totally skewed towards homebirth! (Hence I was quite pleased with the story overall, LOL!) Did you notice the difference in music and atmosphere between the hospital and homebirths in the story? In the hospital birth you didn't really 'get to know' the mother - she was pretty much just part of the scenery. And the whole waving the baby's hand and saying, hello... OMG, I thought I was going to puke. Way to spoil what could have been the most beautiful moment of those parents' lives. Just proved to me how much of a prat that OB is.
Whereas the homebirth was lovely, peaceful, all about the mother - the MW hardly featured at all. Had to laugh at the poo floating in the birth pool though
I thought about visiting the website but I think there'd be too many people on there screeching about how irresponsible it is to show homebirth favourably... blah, blah, blah...

Honestly, that was the only thing in the whole story that really invoked emotion in me. I wanted to punch him through the tv. Why would you do that?

did anyone notice the difference in the two babies how they were when they were born?

Congratulations to my friend Anna - who was the homebirth Mum in that segment. I thought she was amazing!
I've been talking with her (and interviewed/filmed myself) for that segment - and it's amazing how much has got chopped off - interviews with other birth professionals (eg midwives etc) that could refute Dr Pesce's stats. A bit sad

I'm so bummed I missed it I tried to watch it online but it appears that its not important enough to have online!!! Now if I want to watch any of the 6 videos on the girl that was kidnapped at 11 then I can watch that.... don't get me wrong poor girl but maybe 5 vids on her would be enough so I could see the 1 segment that I'm interested in. grrrrrr

It wasn't poo - it was baby gunk. And I should know cause it was my birth
