Trailer for "Pregnant in America" Pregnant in America

 A film documenting the state of maternal care in America and showing the people that get hurt by the use of harmful procedures and drugs. The video warns of the extreme serious risks of the drug cytotec to induce labor which is still often used in major hospitals because it works better than pitocin and is extremely cheap. A major risk of being induced with cytotec is uterine rupture and mom and baby can both die, this happens far too often. The FDA says they have no way to stop hospitals from using this dangerous induction drug, even though the drug packaging clearly says "Not for use on pregnant women". Hospitals have been biting the bullet at times and settling for large payouts...that drug must be dirt cheap if one hospital can pay nearly 27 million in settlements. To make all this worse, the deaths are poorly documented with no real details of why mom and/or baby did not live. How can this improve when there are not proper records kept to facilitate accurate investigations? The drug  manufacturer, hospitals, and the FDA must believe profits are more important than moms and babies and no one will catch on. Mamas spread the word...this is not right and women need to know the risks of induction!!

I have two beautiful daughters one born in the hospital and my other daughter was born at home in the water. I became a birth activist after my homebirth. Women should be free to choose where and with whom they give birth.
