These TLC shows...

Get me every time...and I keep watching them. For instance: "A Baby Story" and other shows like that. I get nervous, anxious, excited and terrified all in each episode. And yet I watch the next one, fully knowing what I am going to go through. Ha! I am a FTM so this is all interesting to me, but man! Does anyone else put themselves through this unnecessary emotional mess? Ha..

    Oh yes! The worst was One Born Every Minute on Lifetime. I've been paranoid during this pregnancy being a FTM and all, so I check to see what the episode is about before I watch any birthing shows. If it sounds like it's going to be something that will get me going then I change the channel.

    Oh my god, I do that to myself constantly! I watch those shows daily and am always like...oh no...

    Plus I am constantly looking at the breastfeeding board and getting completely overwhelmed by all of their questions. I have to do myself a favor and try to not look!

    I have taken over our DVR with One born every minute, A Baby Story, and Baby's First Day! I watch at least one a day! I feel like they are more "real" than my other guilty pleasure, 16 and pregnant!

    DH and I watched A Baby Story all the time when we were TTC (ok, so he didn't put it on TV himself, I may have made him watch it with me lol). I cried. every. time. Like clockwork. The baby comes out, cue the sappy music, waterworks.

    Oh I watch all of those shows. I can't get enough of them. I also watch the labor and delivery videos on youtube. Like you said, i'm a FTM and I want to know what to expect. I get so excited when I watch them, but yet extremely nervous at the same time!

    hahaha this made me LOL 

    I do this all the time!! My husband questions me all the time on why i put my self through it... I am not sure of the answer but I am addicted to anything that has to do with baby... and yes now I am crazy about everything that can go wrong.. but when now that I am home more during the day (starting to cut my shifts down at work) what else to do then watch all of the baby stories and of course some Maury!!! hahahaha

     

    Thanks for posting this :)

    pretty much every day I watch these, plus some on Discovery Health channel, and I cry and also find myself holding my breath while theyre pushing lol. I've done it with my other 2 pregnancies too. Dont know why I subject myself to it, but almost everything makes me cry right now, so, it's nothing new lol.

    I watched them before DD was born.  After?  NO.  I had a traumatic delivery, and feel I had some PTSD after she was born.  It made me anxious, angry and jealous to watch the birth stories (because the moms got to have their happy/amazing moment after relatively uncomplicated (even the C/S moms) deliveries and it is all wrapped up in a 30 minute segment.)  I am able to watch them again now.
