Birth Film Night: Why Not Home? - the surprising birth choices of doctors and nurses

  • Sri Janani Yoga 7700 Aurora Ave N Seattle, WA USA (map)

Why would doctors who attend birth in hospitals choose to have their own babies at home? What do they know about birth that others don't? Join Jessicca Moore, filmmaker and nurse practitioner, on a compelling journey through maternity care in the United States. Told through the lens of doctors, nurses, and midwives, Why Not Home? examines the latest evidence on risks and rewards of different birth settings. The film presents a balanced and accessible view on the latest research, along with moving personal stories of medical practitioners faced with big decisions for their own growing families. Viewers are challenged to move beyond preconceived ideas, and to envision a fresh future for maternity care in America.

“Why Not Home? is a thoughtful look at complex issues. It’s down to earth style puts a human spin on the contentious topic of home birth. I hope that every expectant parent, as well as medical and nursing students see this film. There is something for everyone in this beautifully done film.” — Robin Elise Weiss, PhD, MPH, LCCE and President of the Lamaze Board
