Are there any specific Pregnancy/baby tv shows/documentaries you like or watch regularly?

I watched 'the business of being born' the other day & am part way through watching the movie 'babies'

I really want to watch some more, i enjoy them and was wondering if anyone had any favourites?

I'm not watching a lot of tv these days...lol...but when I was on leave, and Maggie's nap worked out perfectly, I used to enjoy a BBC show called House of Tiny Tearaways. It was kind of like big brother only for families with children who had behavioural issues. it was moderated by a family therapist who helped the parents alter their own behaviours so that they could have a positive impact on correcting their kids behaviours. I found it interesting.

I watched babies, and I honestly wish it had been a bit different. I felt it needed something else like a narrative. But the babies were obviously pretty cute. Definitely made it clear the difference in how cultures parent their young.

If you like BOBB, Pregnant in America is similar, but I liked BOBB better.

Even though they often frustrated me in the past, I did watch the shows on TLC here: A Baby Story, Make Room for Multiples, etc. Also One Born Every Minute on Lifetime. I watched them a lot more when I was pregnant and when Vincent was a newborn. I don't mind watching them every once in a while still, but not often.

I liked Babies too. Not what I was expecting, but it was still pretty interesting.

I used to watch A Baby Story and there was another that I can't remember the name of. We turned our cable off sometime last year ago because we were just spending way to much time watching tv, so I don't even know what's on anymore

I loved BOBB and I agree with Becky that Babies was a little dull without narrative.

I'm a baby show-watching fool when I'm pg, but not so much when I'm not. I think it freaks out DH if I do watch it, probably because he's worried I have baby fever

I love House of Babies which was about a birth center in Florida. There aren't any new episodes but I used to DVR the older ones that were on at odd times.

I remember watching a few episodes of it years back. I'd love to see some more of them some time. I wish there was a show on now that was more like that one.

I like One Born Every Minute when it was on, and there is a programme called Underage and Pregnant that I watch sometimes.
