Honestly the father in this documentary just rubbed me the wrong way. Some very interesting information about American Medical system. My biggest problem with this documentary is it seems like women are made to be victims who don't stand up for their right to have a certain birth experience. It's called put on your big girl panties & have the birth experience you want. I don't want any pain meds don't take them. Don't want an episiotomy say no. Be willing to live with the consequences of choices

Thru the journey of his wife's pregnancy he presents the ugly truth about maternity care in the US and shows the lack of care and compassion from some medical professionals.
