Agatha – Yes, I thought that the issues women may finding ’scary’ or daunting were dealt with in a very down-to earth way but I do think it was the end that tied everything up so well so those who turned off earlier would have missed out.

Maybe – I taught part of an antenatal class last night & people there had watched it & loved it too – many though, had turned it off when they got to instrumentals. The women who watched till the end liked it. There was nothing scary in the program, & nothing too abnormal either.

Agatha – I thought the same but you can see from the comment from Debs that she thought otherwise. Perhaps it’s a midwife thing.

I saw the show & LOVED it – should be required antenatal viewing – IMO.

Debs – I thought it started out rather scary and I think Dawn’s reactions before the births were the same as many pre-first birth women’s, and their partners, would be but I felt that by the end it had all been put into perspective, as Dawn herself acknowledged.

I watched it, having recently had a baby I’m not sure if I thought the programme was sending out a positive message – it seemed to be a bit scare mongering
