I have seen two succesful homebirths on that show, but most of them make me
shout at the tv. I am also a childbirth educator and doula, and I end up
getting so upset watching all those women with all those unnecessary
interventions. Makes my blood boil. And I am always looking to see if there
are any bottles in the background at the postpartum segment, and only once
did I see a baby being bottle fed. I've heard some of the women make mention
of nursing, but I really wish it would be shown (discreetly, of course.
