CALL THE MIDWIFE
by Cara Winter
For several years, I’ve been hearing about the fantastic the UK series CALL THE MIDWIFE, and having been told I must watch… I’ve started.
I’ve started, that is, having Braxton-Hicks contractions. And I’m not even preggers.
I don’t know about you peeps, but watching actresses writhe in the pretend-pain of pretend-childbirth gives me PTSD-like flashbacks to August 19th, 2007 at 5:43pm, and the 26 hours that preceded it. And while I marvel at the wonder that is my kiddo… I don’t particularly like to relive his actual birth. So… I had a tad bit of difficulty settling into the show, knowing that at any moment I might start cramping up.
