I wrote to them and told them they won't find many people that regret having their home births. I would love to know when this is airing. I'd kinda like to see how it turns out.

It's not one I had considered, and I realize that you are absolutely right. Instead of wasting my time writing to Dr. Phil to argue with his tactics, I should have used that time to finish my reports for my Childbirth Education Certification so I can reach women that really do want to learn in an unbiased approach. Thank you. Thanks for that perspective. It’s not one I had considered, and I realize that you are absolutely right.

I have no idea if they have anything to do with it, but it was my first thought. I would hope that people who watch the show will realize how unbalanced the representation is. dr phil is a man who makes lots of money stating the obvious or the absurd, and often times stating the obvious to someone who is being absurd. his show has no meat.

I agree with you. Initially his request for homebirth horror stories bothered me, and I wrote a (tongue in cheek) letter saying that when he did a show about hospital birth disasters (which I knew he would be doing in the interest of fairness) to please contact me as I had many stories I could send him. But after taking a few breaths and calming down I realized that I really don't care what the man thinks or does. I forgive him, but he's an idiot, and *in the long run* he will not succeed because women will see through his BS. I have faith in women, both in birth and in life in general! So yes, let's put our energy into educating the women who are already opening their eyes to the truth about birth. Great web site, Maryn! I agree with you.
