Call The MidWife

One Wednesday evening at around 9 pm I decided to search the TV channels to find something to watch.  Flip, flip, flipping channels until I flipped to channel WLIW 21.

There I began to watch an English show ,Call The Midwife.

Call the Midwife, written by Heidi Thomas and based on the best-selling memoirs of the late Jennifer Worth.

Call The Midwife is composed of short stories.  Stores about midwives, and nursing nuns, who help women give birth on the East End of London, England.

It is a story of life!  It’s a story of woman having babies.  It’s a story of men standing helplessly as they watch how strong women can be  giving birth.   It’s about giving birth in and out of wedlock.

Call the Midwife shows the strength of women and the magic of birth. Women’s loses!  Women’s joy!

With only bicycles to get around in, and not much pay ,the midwives are young and full of hope and desires.  They cherish their jobs and seem to understand that birthing is a blessing and a miracle from God.  No matter how or who has “A bun in the oven”.Image - S2_About.jpg

I Love the show.  I Love the era.  I Love the simplicity of life in the time. I now watch Call the Midwife on Wednesday evenings at 9pm on channel 21 WLIW.
