Um no. Princess DIana (if that is indeed who your talking about) had a C-section with William and I believe also with Harry. (the c-section was to not interrupt Charles's polo match)

This movie was about choice. Where you choose to have your baby at home or at the hospital, where the common practice is an epidural and c-section operation, where many complications can happen with this operation. Or, in a loving atmosphere where the mother and baby have their own timeline with a midwife to help out. People have had babies for millions of years without hospitals and doctors and c-sections. Hey Princess Diane had her baby at home, why not you too.

Was this film biased? Most definitely. Was I surprised by that fact? Nope, not at all. If you read what this movie was about, then you should know what you were going to be getting into when watching this film. People seem to get crazy when they watch a documentary that is biased. Every single documentary that I have watched was biased. If you know of a truly unbiased one, please tell me about it.

I thought it was quite informative and very intriguing. I love watching films that challenge me to think. I watch ones that talk about issues I agree with, as well ones I disagree with. Our society is in the sad shape it is today, because nobody wants to challenge their own beliefs. I get where the couple in this film is coming from. But, that doesn't mean that I completely agree with them. Still, I liked this film.

This movie sucked. Honestly that baby and the mom should have stayed home after the baby was having issues, since they are so much more prepared and capable than the doctors. He's a cocky sonofabooch and she's ignorant. Do not waste your time. They don't die as you'd hope

the man IS the father so yes he does have a say and is not effected by the hormone load which takes over the mother's mind (I've been pregnant 3 times so don't try to fight with me on this one). and you do need to do your research, by the time they needed to look into complications they had their midwife. midwives test for these things just as doctors do. additionally, some years MORE women die in child-birth than had in our great-grannys' day. I've been on both side of this issue, accords the board. the info you are spouting is from the PR departments of insurance companies and doctors offices, for which they furnish zero references or data.

Ive only watched 10 mins. Yet i wanted to see the couples story of birth. Not a staged presentation of support for home births. As for the dude that said for thousands of years babies born without hospitals..He is an idiot. Ask what womens life expentancy was during that time. They die giving birth.
