I highly recommend Call the Midwife... It's a BBC show that's available on Netflix, and when you see how women in poor 1950s London birth and raise babies, it sure makes what we're doing seem a lot more tolerable!
I've seen this show, and yes it does give you perspective! Also there's a reality show called 'the midwives' that follows women in labour and giving birth... Sounds terrible but it's actually quite interesting and also offers a bit of perspective.
Love this show and they just put up a new season... had me sobbing and holding baby girl extra close all morning. Definitely different watching it as a mother.
