Brazil. How “safe” are these cesarean surgeries, and what are the health implications for the mothers and
babies? Explore Your Options examines the pros and cons of birth centers, described as a perfect middle
ground between home and hospital. Special features include Alanis Morissette and Alyson Hannigan on the
advantages of doulas, Christy Turlington Burns on her unexpected complications at a birth center, Molly
Ringwald on how she avoided a cesarean birth with her twins and Gisele Bundchen and Michelle Alves on
the cesarean epidemic in their native Brazil. (Running Time: 102 min)

The VBAC Dilemma: What Your Options Really Are
The VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean) has become a hot-button issue in the modern maternity
care system, as one in three new mothers will give birth via cesarean section. Are all of these mothers then
forced to undergo a repeat cesarean the next time around? Epstein and Lake posed that question to dozens
of experts, determining the surprising truth about VBACs. They also follow several women’s stories – both
those who succeed and fail at attempting a VBAC – including that of filmmaker Abby Epstein, whose first
c-section delivery was depicted in the dramatic, final moments of The Business of Being Born.
(Running Time: 51 min)

I would love to see ”Down on the Farm”! Neato!

I would love any of them, but I’m most interested in Explore Your Options. Second choice would be The VBAC
Dilemma.

I would love to see them all, but if I had to pick just one it would be #3. I am having my second child, first homebirth
sometime in the next few weeks. When baby is good and ready to enter the world, on their own time!
