Update: Giveaway: Ricki Lake's The Business of Being Born premieres in LA

Tags: Attachment parenting , Giveaways , Moms-to-be , Natural childbirth

Update: The winner is Melissa from Encino, CA, who shared this experience:

I gave birth at UCLA Westwood using the midwives. I had wanted to use a birthing center, but I was on Medi-Cal and they would not cover a non-hospital birth. However, I did go all natural, no drugs, vax, or interventions. I had an extensive birthplan and the only regret that I was talked into temporary fetal monitoring--and I was really well read ahead of time and still fell for it. Also, the hospital does not allow partners to stay overnight without ponying up for a really expensive suite, and the kitchen service screwed up my food twice (I have Celiac disease and must be really careful). On the plus side, I guess no one has a successful natural birth there, because we had nurses and interns coming into quiz us on why and how we did it. It was a great chance to educate them. And I have the most wonderful, alert, funny daughter in the world.

I can't wait to see this movie--which is difficult, since I have a 5 month old at home. I may have to wait for Netflix :) But I've become an even bigger advocate for natural birth--and plan to specialize in pregnancy massage as part of my practice--I'm a certified massage therapist.

Natural Mama Media hosted the LA premiere of Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein’s new documentary,
The Business of Being Born, benefiting BLOOM, a nonprofit organization dedicated to natural mothering.

The Fine Arts Theater in Beverly Hills was brimming with celebrity moms walking the red carpet and placing bids on over 100 amazing items at the silent auction tent. There was great food, music, The Hot Moms Club greeted the movie goers as they entered the theatre with a table of goodies and information.

The Business of Being Born is a documentary exposing the hard-core realities of delivering babies in today’s world. Ricki was so committed to this project, she includes footage of her own birth in it. She’s in a bathtub, nude and 195 pounds, by her own admission a very courageous choice. But also imperative. She and her director Abby Epstein want women everyone to learn how to feel empowered by their birth experience by giving them real information about the choices they have.
