The International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) of the Twin Cities is pleased to announce a special sneak preview of THE BUSINESS OF BEING BORN a documentary film directed by Abby Epstein and Executive Produced by Ricki Lake.

Panel discussion to follow film. Panelists confirmed as of 1/11/08:

  • Rebecca Barroso, Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM) 
  • Victoria Bolton, RN, Labor & Delivery
  • Dr. Laura France, OB/GYN
  • Susan Lane, Doula and Childbirth Educator
  • Gail Tully,  Certified Professional Midwife (CPM)
  • Clare Welter, Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM)

In 2001, actress Ricki Lake gave birth to her second child with the assistance of a midwife in her home bathtub. She made the choice for a home birth after she experienced unwanted medical interventions while delivering her first child at a hospital birthing center. Ricki succeeded in giving birth on her own terms and the experience was so unexpectedly empowering and life-changing that she felt every woman should know what they could be missing out on.

We thank our wonderful sponsors:
