One Born Every Minute USA

[pebbles]

Thought those of you who loved Once Born Every Minute like I did would like to know that they're now showing the USA show :)

Starts this Thurs 9pm on More4

I can't wait

Yes very interesting program for new Mums.

I'm interested to see the difference between care in the USA and the UK but as I'll be be having my own baba soon, may give it a miss...

Very interested to watch this, cant wait. Found myself crying at the re-runs of UK OBEM on more 4 last night. I'm under the impression from family members birthing in America that there is a lot more intervention, and the rate of induction are higher. Will be very interesting. Cant help watching and feeling 'Yes, I do want to be a midwife, definitely' and then ending up in floods of tears when the babies are actually born. Forget being an emotional midwife that stands at the foot of the mother blubbering away every single time.

Yes Gina re intervention/c section rates in the states - has anyone seen the Business of Being Born? Tbh it might make quite depressing viewing - and maybe an unwelcome glimpse into how things might develop here..

I'm interested to watch this. A good American fiend and I argue about health care nearly every time we see each other, so will be interesting to see their apparently far superior methods in action!

Sb: buisness of being born was so so depressing! I have a friend in the states who was induced at 39+5 because her ob gyn "didn't like to go past 39wks with her patients". Seriously, nhs= bloody marvellous.
