Here

I saw a preview today and it is both shocking and inspiring.

287,000 women die from pregnancy related causes every year, 99% of them in developing countries.

The film shows the difference between UK and US births and those in Cambodia and Sierra Leone.

It does contain quite distressing scenes of still birth, so maybe not for you if you are currently pregnant.

I blogged about it today (link on profile) to give you an idea what it is about and will be watching again tonight.

I knew they were medicalised but hadn't thought about the obesity issue and the £££ of prenatal checks

I want to reach into my television and hug that doctor from Sierra Leone.

Didn't they say at the beginning that there were only 200 doctors in the whole country though?
