Birthing....

 

http://thebusinessofbeingborn.com/trailer.htm

Have any of you heard of rikki lake's movie above or seen it ? I am rather interested now...as the husband and I don't exactly agree w/the birthing procedures/standards use in hospitals these days. I think it's very important for all of us to be more educated on what types of alternatives are out there and which one is best for us.

After I had my son, I thought to myself "why was all of this (diff types of drugs, tests, commotions, etc. ) necessary?". My mom birthed her children "naturally" back in the old country and never suffered any type of complications. I even have a cousin-inlaw (here in the u.s.) who was brave enough to home birth both her children with a midwive by her side.

One of my goals this year is to be more "green" or "natural" in everything we do from food, cleaning products,toys,clothes, to home remedies...etc..

Maybe I should put birthing on the list too.

 

*** Geez, can you tell how badly I've abandoned my xanga ? Will update it soon. ***

Hey, how are you? It's suppose to be 40 degrees tomorrow here in Milwaukee, enjoy your day before we get more snow! My son and I are going ice skating tomorrow on Water street to celebrate the hopefully nice weather. Take care!

Hello! Thank you for leaving a comment on my blog. Re: childbirth, I wish our healthcare system allowed for us to choose too. However, with HMOs we don't even get a choice between hospitals so we were stuck with whoever would deliver there. Fortunately for us, we got a great OB practice. My birthing experience was wonderful. Yay for going green. We try too, but it gets very hard sometimes.

ummm...i know this is going to sound bad, but I'm all about the epidural . my mom keeps telling us that we need to experience birthing naturally, but if I don't have to subject myself to all the pain, then I prefer not too. 

I totally with you on the whole being greener in terms of everyday products and foods we consume though
