Birth: it's a miracle. A rite of passage. A natural part of life. But more than anything, birth is a business. Compelled to find answers after a disappointing birth experience with her first child, actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to explore the maternity care system in America. Focusing on New York City, the film reveals that there is much to distrust behind hospital doors and follows several couples who decide to give birth on their own terms. There is an unexpected turn when director Epstein not only discovers she is pregnant, but finds the life of her child on the line. Should most births should be viewed as a natural life process, or should every delivery be treated as a potential medical emergency?

相信自己的身体，控制自己的身体，让它拥有它本就有的孕育和生育能力。

偏激，发达国家孕妇在家生产是因为医疗体系有保障，医师持证上岗，离了发达国家未免太偏激，出事了还得拉到医院找大夫

数据太片面了，没有标明助产士情况下的死亡率，无法做对比。但其中一点说得很对，女人对自然生产毫无概念。......看完更不打算生了m(_ _)m

这种最原始最自然的生产方式已经逐渐以至于完全消失在现代生活当中。将破腹产看为最安全高级的生产方式令人叹息。像影片里面提到的delivery is also a process of empowering; if you could go through the whole process, you can do anything. nothing will be a problem for you anymore.

要在北美生育的准妈妈必须要看的纪录片。虽然八婆了些，但感情真挚。4星推荐。
