Upcoming film: The Business of Being Born
Over the holidays, my husband went with a friend to the movies. He came back so excited to tell me, not so much about the movie he saw, but about the trailer for a new film executive produced by Ricki Lake, the former talk-show host, who made a documentary about the business of hospitals and doctors in delivering babies. “It’s right up your alley, Jen,” he said. So, I checked out the film’s website for myself and it seems interesting. I’d like to see it. In a nutshell, it’s Michael Moore meets the delivery room. But thank the Good Lord, it doesn’t include Michael Moore. Check out The Business of Being Born and let me know what you think in the comments area. It’s theatrical opening is January 13 in NYC.



I cannot wait to see this! Thanks for letting us know. This looks like an excellent film, especially for a first time mom-to-be like me
i really want to see this…i’ve heard little snippets about it. i sooooo wish i had known more when i had my first two little guys. still crossing fingers for #3 so i can try over!
I just watched this last night with my husband (got it via NetFlix). I really enjoyed it. It was well done and very informative. In fact, I have changed my plan of birth for my third and am going to give birth at a local birth center or my home. I am still looking into my options and haven’t fully decided but I am really excited about this option and thankful I saw the film. It was great to watch it with my husband so that we could talk about it afterward and make a decision together.
