dc.description.abstractBirth has been firmly placed in the cultural spotlight. Among a broader contemporary interest in maternity, in the UK Channel 4’s BAFTA award-winning television programme One Born Every Minute (Channel 4, 2010-) underscores that women’s birthing experiences are receiving an unprecedented amount of airtime. The show presents itself as a documentary, purporting to reflect birthing experiences to entertain and educate viewers. Yet, despite claims of neutrality and education, these representations are highly contradictory and constructed, offering ‘good’/‘bad’ birthing processes and bodies, which contribute to power relations and social inequalities.-
