Premieres Thursday, June 18 at 8PM

A growing movement of women in the US and in the UK are defying medical advice and choosing to give birth with no drugs, no midwife and absolutely no medical support. Supporters claim it's how having a baby was always meant to be, but doctors say this new "freebirthing" craze has terrible risks.

We follow the stories of three pregnant women who have decided to go against the advice of their doctors and give birth without medical assistance. We see the challenges they face as they prepare for their births, and witness their extraordinary births at home.
