Do any of you watch this show? I love British television and historical dramas, so I thought it'd be right up my alley. However, I had to stop watching after one episode because I just can't deal with the heartwrenching "Is the baby going to make it?!" aspect. Should I swallow hard and keep watching? Or do you think I made the right decision to stop now before things turn worse, since I'm already kind of sensitive?

I love that show! I feel like there is more good/uplifting than bad--but there are occasional sad endings. Up to you if you can handle that!
-
What I like the most about that show is actually the great mix of serious topics and humour. Stick with it!
-
KEEP WATCHING!
I love it. It's my go-to show when DH isn't around.
-
I just started it two weeks ago and I love it!! I think it's great that they have happy and sad endings.
-
I love it! It really turns into more of a show about the relationships between the women than about midwifery.

@Skadi: I loved it, but got bored with it I think when I got toward the end of the second season. I had to respond because I understand feeling sensitive about this kind of thing! I was sensitive, too, but quickly got over it. I kind of remember the "is the baby going to make it" theme being much more intense in the beginning than it is once you get into the show. There are moments, but it's about way more than that.

I love it but couldn't handle the sad endings while pregnant!

Where are you guys watching? It's not on amazon prime.

@Skadi: Ooooh I LOVE this show, I loved the books too. Honestly, there are very few episodes where baby or mum don't make it. Watch the rest! I just started the third season and am seriously addicted.
-
@SimplyFelicity It's on Netflix.
Thanks for the encouragement, guys. I think I'll give it another go!
-
Love it and there is a good balance of good and bad. Obviously it can't be all good as they were difficult times in a very poor neighbourhood.
-
Love it! Though, I stopped watching it (and reading it-/ I was almost done w the last book of the memoirs) while pregnant and haven't watched it since...
-
@Skadi: Thanks! Not sure why I didn't think of that.
