Hi ozmidders,
I wished I had known about this as I would have watched it. I have compiled a video tape of TV births. The variety among them and the misconceptions they show are just unbelievable.
But I did see one very very positive TV birth and for the life of me I can not remember the name of the movie. But they actually used a 'live' birth, they showed the actress's face and all the emotions etc. but for the actual 'birth' you saw the whole lot, crowning, rotation the full kit and caboodle so to speak. It was beautifully done and of course the baby definitely looked newborn etc. as it was with umbilical cord and placenta as well. It thanked the parents etc in the credits as well.
I think that is my biggest peeve when they do a TV birth, not just the mothers role, but the babies they use never look newborn etc.
Yours in Childbirth and
With the love of Friendship
