We just watched a really great documentary called The Business of Being Born, which is about home birth and contrasts it with the typical hospital birth experience. It really bolstered our resolve to have a home birth ourselves.
There were several births that were filmed in the course of the movie, and they all moved us to tears. Many of the experts and ordinary people interviewed had some great insights into birthing. The idea that women's bodies can handle birth without insane amounts of drugs and surgery shouldn't be so novel or curious. It's just an option that seems the most reasonable.
