Big Mother

Reality shows are embedded into the television culture.

Baby House is the latest offering – a house with six couples where the women are in their last week of pregnancy.

The cameras will show the onset of labour, the rush to hospital and
the birth, before following the couples back to the house and showing
the mothers beginning breastfeeding. Celebrity guests will lend support
and advice.

Several groups have already condemned the move as a "circus act".
Carol Bates, the Royal College  of Midwive’s education adviser, said:

"In
the last few weeks of pregnancy, what you need is rest, peace and
quiet, and a bit of time to prepare yourself emotionally. It cannot be
helpful to put these couples through the stress of living with
strangers and of being filmed every afternoon."
