Giving birth in a hospital, or even at home, is a little too traditional for some parents-to-be. The families featured in this series have decided to give birth in nature. The mothers don't get the benefit of induction or epidurals; they do it all naturally, which is fitting given the natural landscapes that surround them. The environment is challenging and there are obstacles to be overcome in the wild, but through it all if the couples persevere, they achieve their dreams of outdoor births.

J W @RT46886059 01/23/2025 These people whomever they are have absolutely no business with a family out there. If this isn’t totally fake (which it probably is) people need to do welfare checks on them through the winter. Risking everyone’s lives because you want to give birth in the wilderness is so selfish and completely insane. Thank gawd a production crew is with them! Plenty of good birthing clinics in Alaska and places to go for a natural experience. Unbelievable. See more Read all reviews
