Midwives sometimes tell us they shout at the TV during birth shows. Perhaps it’s always hard to watch your own profession on screen

Former doctor Adam Kay’s tale of an arrogant gynaecologist struggling in an NHS hospital was shocking, hilarious – and revealed a horrifying truth

Might we have different responses depending in whether we watch for depictions of birth or of an NHS under pressure?

HBO's #HouseoftheDragon hit our screens last week & episode one caused quite a stir with a graphic caesarean delivery of a breech baby. @KingsNursing's @SisterShawnRM, an expert in the field, discusses the reality of delivering a breech baby 🧵👇 #KingsQs

Everyone's talking about the gruesome birth scene in House of the Dragon. While some defend scenes of horrible things happening to women as realistic of the medieval era, was this scene something which would have happened at the time?

#BirthOnScreen in a different sense. Interesting and mixed responses to this idea

How amazing would this be for our women who have a caesaran section or instrumental birth in theatre. It would mean they could be more involved with the initial top to toe assessment, watch mum/dad cut the last bit of cord, & observe resuscitation, if required. What do you think?
