Ricki Lake gave birth 10 years ago, we finally get to watch.

I was just watching Ricki Lake acting pregnant in Cry Baby this weekend, and was wondering what it would look like to watch her push it out. Now, I will be able to find out. The new movie she is producing, "The Business of Being Born," will show a number of births, including Ricki giving birth to Milo in her bath tub.



I am quite excited about this film. Apparently, it's going to feature less of the stereotypical birthing scene, i.e. crying women screaming for an anaesthesia injection and a baby suddenly appearing out of nowhere, and more of what it is really like to see a baby being born in a healthy, non-hospital environment. So there will be vaginas, there will be mucus, there will be placentas, and there will be real women sharing positive stories about giving birth. Hurray for Ricki Lake!
