I was having dinner with my friend, Krissy, the other night, and she told me about a show she was enjoying, Call the Midwife. It's a BBC show, so I assumed I would like it (love me some Downtown Abbey), and I was right.
I would say don't watch it if you've never had a child, but either way, it will mess you up something fierce. In fact, during the 1st episode, I texted Krissy and told her that I needed an epidural just watching.
It really is amazing, though. The show is based on journals of a British midwife from the 1950s, and it has completely sucked me in. Noel keeps saying, "should you be watching this while you're pregnant?" And yes, yes I should be. The stories are incredible and the characters are so fun. And, oh, how I'm grateful for people who take care of all the pregnant ladies and babies, (and for clean hospitals).
PS. The first 2 seasons are on Netflix if you're interested. :)

Call the midwife is brilliant, really enjoy it and I'm so excited that Downton will be back on British screens in a matter of weeks now :) Another BBC drama to look out for is The Crimson Field about British nurses on the front line in WW1. It was only a six parter I think but really worth a watch. You are glowing byhe way :) x
I'll have to find this show :) love the dress bytheway you looks so cute!!!

I am hesitantly interested in this show. Hopefully it won't give me nightmares! ;)
I love BBC shows!! Ashley! I still cannot tell you how happy I am for you! You're absolutely glowing!! :)
I LOVE this show!! I was so sad when the Netflix episodes ended. I also really liked "Bomb Girls" on Netflix. It was kind of a similar vibe.
Just reading your description kind of makes me nervous...I haven't had kids yet though so maybe I shouldn't watch it! :) You look amazing!

Oh Call the Midwife is so good! I flew through all of the seasons. Also, I'm doing some catch up reading and I wanted to say congratulations!!! So happy for you and I'm excited because I'm due this November so it will be fun to go through this together in blog land!
I love Call The Midwife - so good!

I love that show. I always end up crying during every episode, but it's mostly a good cry. You look so adorable with your little belly!
gah, you look precious!!
and i think i need to check out the snow... BUT i think i'm the only one left on the planet without netflix...
I've never heard of this show, but it sounds interesting! LOVE your baby bump, i'm going to viciously experience pregnancy again through you, okay?!
OK I have never heard of this show, but based on your comments, I am not going to watch it. I don't have kids yet, so I fear this show might make that permanent! But I do love binge watching shows on Netflix!

I LOVE that show - even while being pregnant with my first! :-) It's a little scary though... ;-)
I've watched every episode and read the first book! So good! And you look adorable!!
haven't heard of it - but it sounds addicting!! and i'm in love with those flats you're wearing... so cute!
You look so cute! And Call the Midwife is such a great show! I can't wait for the next season.
You look so adorable!
I am going to pass on this, I am already nervous about the whole childbirth process.
Maybe after I experience my first I can bookmark it to my "watch" list ;)
Look at you - all adorable and cute! And I am definitely checking out that show. With my mother. And maybe finally she'll get off my back about having a baby :P
I love that show!
That was a Bookclub book last year and I really enjoyed it! The girl is a great storyteller and it's crazy to think these are real stories!
I love that show, too! I got sucked in while I was pregnant with Everett. It made it even more magical, somehow. I want to read the book, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. :)
I loved it too (and watched it while I was preggo as well) and had my first midwife then and lead to a home birth!
PS....I love the long chevron skirt today...had lots of complements when I wore it yesterday....had a women run me down to ask me where I got it too!
Ashley!! You are already glowing!! I am sorry I have been MIA lately and just got caught up on your recent posts!! CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy!! I am so crazy excited for you and can't wait to follow along until we meet this new sweet baby boy or girl!! yay!!
Just added this to my queue on Netflix! Thanks for the recommendation! :)
I am watching this show right now and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the rec.
