House of Babies

Life in a real birth center is captured in Miami. You see mothers coming in for their check-ups, giving birth, and whatever issues arise you get tips such as sibling rivalry, juggling being a mom and work, Vaginal Birth After Caesarians (VBACs), breastfeeding, water birth, the risks of getting an epidural, partner help and other matters. Excellent show. I love the water births, and the simplicity with which they explain everything on the show. You also get a behind-the-scenes look on how a birth center is run, and the head midwife is an interesting character. This show is great for a layperson learning about birth alternatives, pregnant moms, current and future physicians, current and future midwives, adults and children who will be experiencing a birth, current and future nurses, and those who have experienced natural birth in a midwife setting.
