One Born Every Minute.

[NewGirlInTown]

New series; surprised not to see a thread already.
I find it so moving. The strength of these women is incredible.
The men? Not so much.
Especially the dude who brought in a breakfast to eat IN FRONT of his partner, who was starving!
He needs to get the snip or sort out birth control, that family of four children crammed into a two bedroom flat.

I can’t watch it anymore. I used to love it until I went through the whole thing a couple of times myself. Too triggering (and I usually hate that word, but it’s true)

Sorry to hear that, Sparkle. Fully understand how it might be triggering. I can’t watch those ‘24 Hours in A&E’ shows for similar reasons.

Same here!

Also it’s funny to think the babies from the first series are 17 now! Must be strange being able to watch your own birth in such detail.

Ooh, I didn't know there was a new series! That'll be me sorted tonight then. I think I've watched every single episode both times I was pregnant and I may have the itch again

Is it still on channel 4?

Far too triggering for me. I cannot bear to watch vulnerable women being tortured by midwives. It brings back memories I would rather not have.

Such awful, medicalised births, everyone monitored and tethered to a bed.

I can't watch it.

No they’re not! Definitely a fair few birthing pools and midwife led unit rooms with all the various modular soft play-esque furniture etc etc.

I’ve not watched for a good while, but I presume they don’t cover the multi bed antenatal wards you get plonked in for for several days if you’re in for an induction and the Labour ward is busy…

I hate it. 99% of the time women are not supported properly and have unnecessary interventions. I can’t watch it since I had my three.
