"The Business of Being Born" was freaking spectacular. I was moved to tears! I feel really inspired to keep going on the path I am on despite the the current trends in the US. I think the most astounding fact they posed was that in every other country in the world midwives attend between 70-80% of births but in the US midwives only attend between 7-8%. Compounding that fact is that of industrialized nations the US has the highest infant/mother mortality rate. Seriously, we're the freaking US how pathetic!
