Ricki Lake has been slammed by professionals at the American Medical Association (AMA) for championing home births.

Lake’s recent documentary The Business of Being Born suggested hospital births could be problematic – a claim refuted by medical officials.

Doctors have warned expectant mothers not to follow the Hairspray star’s example, and AMA members are now campaigning to U.S. lawmakers to pass legislation officially stating that the “safest setting” for birth is in a hospital, reports TMZ.com.
