....have your labour & delivery filmed and featured on One Born Every Minute? For me, I think around £20K ($33K), though less if I knew for definite that it would not be seen by anyone I know personally!
You?
Do the couples featured on there even get paid?

I don't know if I could. Way too personal. But, everyone has their price. but it definitely wouldn't be in the thousands for me.

Enough to cover therapy for my kids.
Seriously, I don't know if I could do it, but everyone does have their price. Maybe a one time only showing when no one I know would be able to watch it.

I wouldn't be interested for any price, those shows aren't my kind of thing

I don't watch those kinds of shows and neither do people I know. So depending on what exactly they show, $50K min.

No way b/c I will move to another country if anyone I've ever known saw me!

Not enough money. If I was still in as much debt as I was 5 years ago though...

Never heard of that show but I have seen "A Baby Story" on TLC. Is it like that? I'm sure the people on it do get paid some, but probably not enough for me lol!
I'd have trouble turning it down for over 30k.

It depends on if I could have say over final edits. I would want to make sure there were no unflattering angles shows.
@pui: I'd have trouble turning anything down for over $30K!

@illumina: Is that show even still on? I loved it!

@MrsMcD: it is here in the U.K. (the U.K. version though--we do get the U.S. version, though it's not as popular).

@loveisstrange: "Rather than having a wonderful, lasting legacy of my baby’s birth — as promised by the BBC" ---so that was all they were offered??

I'd like to say no amount, but realistically I'd have a hard time turning down $200k+

I don't know that show… do they show vag? lol If my modesty was protected and it was just the annoyance of having a camera guy and perhaps me looking like shit and saying unflattering things….. not that much. Maybe 20k? If its one of those shows where they would show boobs or vag… there is no amount.

I think I'd do it for around $50K. Generally people who watch that show watch it because they think births + women's bodies are amazing, so I wouldn't be worried about creeping someone out by the scariness of childbirth... haha. Plus hopefully they watch enough that mine wouldn't stick out in their mind!
I watched my sister give birth, and it was a LOT less creepy than I imagine seeing her butt naked in a different setting (say, running naked to the mailbox as mentioned several months ago!)

@illumina: I bet the UK version is funnier than the US version. Is the show meant to be a little funny? It always is regardless.

@MrsMcD: I think it is actually more serious and reserved? (confirming to British stereotype, I guess). I watched the U.S one a couple of times and there seemed to be so much drama, millions of family in the delivery room and arguments between said family members and the nurses. I'm not sure if it is really dramatised or if that's what it is like over there!

For me it would depend more on how big/invasive the crew is than what they show. I'd be happy to let them film and air anything if they had just one or two silent, unobtrusive cameras. If there's a lot of lights, camera, action nonsense, no way, not for millions. Likewise if there's lots of editing for drama.
