Business of Being Born Needs Your Support

Abby Epstein and Ricki Lake, creators of the groundbreaking film “The Business of Being Born” need your help in creating the next series of informative movies about birth!  They are asking for donations – large and small – to help fund this exciting project.  

This project will only be funded if at least $100,000 is pledged by Thursday Jul 14, 1:03pm EDT.  Currently the project has $46,181 pledged already towards their goal.

From their website:  “More Business of Being Born” is our new series of four  films that deepens the conversation about childbirth options, supporting every woman’s right to empowerment and accurate information during the birth process.   We’ve also completed a 28-minute Classroom Version of “The Business of Being Born” with a comprehensive study guide to reach younger women in University settings…We need a budget to promote and market these videos, to make sure that they reach as many expectant parents as possible. To acquire that budget, we need your help.”

The Business of Being Born, and the companion website and book My Best Birth, were instrumental in the birth choices and experiences of so many women and families.   Thanks to the information and advocacy of this project, an immeasurable number of women were able to birth their babies with a sense of empowerment, options, and support.  Ricki Lake writes more about this new project HERE.

Now it’s our turn to give back by GIVING!

    I have seen several couples watch this film and reconsider their initial birth plans, with many switching to midwives in and out of the hospital. It has definitely made a positive impact and I am so thankful!
