You know this "alternative" birthing momma could not resist sitting down and watching the latest installment of the Business of Being Born vids. Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein put together a sequel to this must see movie, in which they help answer a lot of questions that women had about things like homebirth, midwives, doulas, VBACs, etc. Needless to say, I was a little excited about checking this movie out. So I settled down to watch episode one and what do you suppose it was about???? OMG!!! Only my dream place to have a baby -- The Farm --- and my idol Midwife Ina May Gaskin. I die!!! An entire hour long segment on The Farm, interviewing the pioneer midwife!!! It launched me into an other wordly level of excitement about experiencing a third home birth. If all goes well, this third little one will also be born at home, in our bed, with the help of the amazing Renee Sicignano. I guess I should probably call her and make an appointment. LOL. Anyhow, this segment also got me thinking about trying hypno-birthing this time around. Now that I am a "seasoned veteran" (bwahahahahahahaha) of child birth I think I might actually be able to apply something as focused and inward as hypno-birthing. There was no way that was ever gonna happen with my first, but I am thinking that it could be an option this time around. Well, it's worth a shot, anyway. Tonight we move on to segment number 2 and get to hear about several celebrity mom's different birth experiences. Yippee.
