The Bear’s childbirth episode should be celebrated for finally getting TV birth right - an expert shares her take on the 'normalised' birth

Abby Elliott as Natalie in The Bear.

The Bear handled Natalie "Sugar" Berzatto's birth episode in the way it takes on all themes - visceral and so real. An expert shares her take on this particular depiction of childbirth on TV.

The Bear season two2 doesn't seem like it aired that long ago, and the frenetic, smash-hit series is already back to have us glued to our screens and shouting "yes chef" along with the team. Amid family trauma and messy relationships, season two came to a close with Pete speaking excitedly to Carmy and Natalie's chaotic mother Donna (an outstanding Jamie Lee Curtis), about the baby he and Natalie are having. Showing the devastating extent of their fractured relationship, Donna doesn't know her daughter is pregnant, despite the birth being imminent.
