Who We Are

Birth is a miracle, a rite of passage, a natural part of life. But birth is also big business.

Compelled to explore the subject after the delivery of her first child, actress Ricki Lake recruits filmmaker Abby Epstein to question the way American women have babies.

The film interlaces intimate birth stories with surprising historical, political and scientific insights and shocking statistics about the current maternity care system. When director Epstein discovers she is pregnant during the making of the film, the journey becomes even more personal.

Should most births be viewed as a natural life process, or should every delivery be treated as a potentially catastrophic medical emergency?

Please visit www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com to learn more and view the trailer.

Please visit www.thebusinessofbeingborn.com/blog to read about home birth stories and experiences.

We have created this page to help educate about home birth. We also want to hear your stories and experiences with home birth.

Our interview with Christy Turlington

Last Wednesday, we were thrilled to interview Christy Turlington for our upcoming DVD.

Christy is renowned internationally for her beauty, but when you meet her you realize it’s her inner light and spirit that makes her so captivating. Dressed in casual “mommy clothes” with scarcely a drop of makeup, she glows from within and seems completely in he… Continue
