Trash TV... Bring on the babies!

If you're anything like me, then you're partial to the odd cheeky delve into the realms of crappy reality TV. That's right, judge away, I can take it.

Since motherhood has become an ever impending destination for me, I've been on the hunt for shows that can satisfy both my trash TV urges, as well as my growing interest for all things pregnancy and baby related (I do have a life, I swear). Luckily there are many avenues through which to pursue this craving and no shortage of interesting shows and documentaries out there to keep me quiet for a while.

Now, bear in mind that most of the shows listed below can be found on either YouTube, Netflix, through online streaming of 4oD or BBC iplayer (TunnelBear is a fab, cheap program that I always use to stream my favorite UK shows) and, ahem, generally round and about online if you're will to dig a little.

Here are just a few of my favorite baby related reality shows to keep you going, and keep you excited for your own upcoming Mama experiences;

Well, these should keep you fixed to the telly (or laptop) for a while, right? I could go on I'm sure, but that'll do for now... phew! If you have any more suggestions that aren't included above, then throw 'em over via the comments box - I, for one, am always on the lookout!
