well done! Lebensborn e.V. Estimations place the growing number of children born to unwed mothers in the 70th percentile of the black population in America. this is a wake up call for us in the uk, who do boast a midwifery service [under threat]. ricki lake was honest and gave lovely footage of her labour/birth which was by no means rose tinted. it gave us lots of statistics which confirmed the seriousness of the situation. But I digress. Directed by James Knox. I recommend it to everyone and have literally watched over 20x even when not pregnant. I had to look away and just listen because the shaky (at times blurry and grainy) footage was too distracting. The information was great, if a bit dragged out at times, but the cinematography itself was really awful. This creates a culture of fear surrounding labor instead of empowering women to feel confident. I have had a homebirth since first watching this on Netflix (sadly the took it off, which is why I bought this copy). Her husband is a “filmmaker” too, like every second instagrammer claiming to be a “public figure”. This documentary gave a convincing argument for many of the 'pushes' being made concerning childbirth in the U.S. Overall I appreciate the information they’re trying to disseminate. I wish I had for my first. There were some VERY dark times in the history of "medicalized" birth, once the hospitals took over what was normally a natural process.

It's a good thing that hospitals are around today because some pregnancies have complications, especially if the mother already has an illness of some kind. The opening of The Business of Being Born shows interviews of pregnant women and their husbands discussing whether they considered using a midwife for their pregnancy. The documentary ‘72 Percent,’ “takes a hard look at the single mother phenomena in the African American community.” It's very informative and my favorite documentary.

The documentary includes information about the history of obstetrics, midwifery, and the medicalization of childbirth. This documentary is totally worth the cost. Childbirth is a natural process but we treat it in the U.S. the way we treat illness. A disturbing new BBC documentary explores the dark world of “incels” -- an online community of male virgins who hate women and praise mass murderers. There are 3 additional movies that were made after this one and all offer good information but this one is the most well rounded. It's NOT what you might think.
Want to share IMDb's rating on your own site? this film was brilliant. had hilarious footage of her own labour and birth, and described beautifully the dilemmas women face when they are pregnant, and how their 'choices' are majorly affected by business and litigation all under the guise of 'safety', which in fact is not guaranteed however much money you throw at it. i saw this film during a fundraising event for independent midwives. The Business of Being Born explores the history of obstetrics, the history and function of midwives, and how many common medical practices may be doing new mothers more harm than good. I wasnt scared and educated myself on everything birth related and I was extremely calm the whole time.
