Less is more
Birth Technology - Less is more
Sometime during the past century of health care, "high-tech" became synonymous with "better and safer." As we learn in the movie "The Business of Being Born," when it comes to giving birth, this is not necessarily the case.
The "Business of Being Born" is the brainchild of talk-show host Ricki Lake, for whom I have newfound respect. After her first baby was born in the hospital with multiple unwanted interventions, she began looking around for a better option. She found homebirth and went on to have such a powerful, inspiring second birth in her own bathtub, that she made a movie about her experiences.
