Call the Midwife                                                  


This program airs on PBS on Sunday nights.

Season 2 premiered Sunday night.

What the show is about:
Call the Midwife is about a group women in London who work as midwives.  Their primary patients are women that have fallen on hard times and yet keep having children.  They live in a house together with nuns.  It is set in the 1950's.

IMbd gives the show 8.2 stars.

Last nights premiere opened with one of the midwives bike riding down a cobblestone street.  The character featured most last season nurse Jenny Lee.  Chummy then arrives on the scene with her new love Peter.  Chummy is a slightly awkward, very tall woman from a privileged background that has nevertheless found herself working with some of London's poorest families.

The episode featured the introduction of nitrous oxide as a means to control pain during childbirth.  Chummy demonstrated its use to some of the patients and realized she rather enjoyed this gas.

The women they help mostly give birth at home.  They would think a hospital delivery would be a luxury.  Thank goodness for epidurals!

The episode also featured a woman who was in a domestic abuse situation and another woman who lived on a ship with her father the captain.  Her job was to hmm..service the other men that worked on the ship.  She wound up pregnant and when the child was born she decided to go back to her homeland with her new daughter.
