Ok, survey fans - here’s another one for you. This comes to us from Kim Wildner, author of Mother’s Intention: How Belief Shapes Birth, and the Fearless Birthing blog.
From her blog:
“I am trying to determine why women watch what they watch in pregnancy. I want to know what makes some people watch Maternity Ward and others The Business of Being Born. I want to know how they conclude if a source of information is biased or unbiased, and how they decide if a movie has a positive or negative message.
I can only take the first 100 responders, but I need to have the data by Friday, April 11th, 2008.”

I believe most women choose a birth-centred movie that will reinforce their idea of what normal birth is. Pregnancy is a sensitive time for many women’s nerves and they are less likely during that time to challenge what they already believe as truth about the process of birth, unless they have had a previous negative experience that lead them to question their beliefs.
