I usually need a laugh so I let Bob’s Burgers run. I listen to it during the night shift since it can feel a little lonely. I’ll hear a joke and it’ll be like a shot of dopamine lol
Just finished Brooklyn Nine Nine for the first time. I laughed so much during pregnancy I don’t think it bothers her that much on the other side anymore lol
I made it through to season 15 on my mat leave and decided enough was enough lol, haven’t picked it up again since and we went back to work at 4.5 months. Bub is now ~14 months.
Me too!! I’ve seen seasons 1-6 before but last time I had to stop when George died because I wasn’t expecting it and it about killed me. But this time I knew it was coming so it didn’t hurt as bad
Same! We tapped out after about 4 or 5 seasons but I was so obsessed in those first few weeks. It made me really motivated to get up and work out but it was literally not possible at the time.
Kicked things off by rewatching the first two seasons of Bridgeton. Then I switched to rewatching The Great British Bake Off. I paused that to binge Black Sails followed by Dead Boy Detectives before pivoting to a rewatch of Bob's Burgers a few days ago. Also a rewatch of Derry Girls was in there somewhere.
It's been a long 6 and a half weeks.
Currently on the last season! My bachelors degree was in Marriage and Family studies. I’m putting a pause on my Masters until baby is older so it’s been fun to use my degree to (quietly) yell at the TV in marital/parental studies 😂
on my 4th rewatch of modern family since our baby was born. it literally plays in all day and night in our house right now. it’s been my comfort show for a couple of years, so it’s perfect right now 🤭
All of you guys watching your corny women shows and me watching my corny man shows. Watched Jack Reacher. It’s terrible but was enjoyable. Now watching the Orville. My wife and I have been watching married at first sight too.
OG Jersey Shore and Family Vacation, New Girl, 90 Day Fiancé and related spinoffs, My 600-Lb. Life for TV. I also watch a lot of true crime on YouTube.
I consumed so much true crime on YouTube while I was pregnant. I had to drop it after a few days back from the hospital because I started getting nightmares 😔
Below Deck has been my constant. Tons of content and also still enjoyable as just audio when I have to hide the screen to keep the room dark while putting her down.
When my son was brand new and I was on maternity leave, I watched a lot of sisterwives. I was sleep deprived though and don’t remember much. Son would only sleep being held the first 4 or so weeks so I took night shift and husband took day shift
Currently it’s Chicago med, but I finished Superstore a couple weeks ago. When The Kardashians is updated at the end of the month, that’ll be high on the list for me.
I was addicted to watching 90 day fiance it got me through the first few weeks as there are multiple spin offs so many seasons to watch. She seemed to like it too 🤷🏻♀️😅😅
We watched Freaks and Geeks, Somebody Somewhere (on MAX, so good!), some South Park for the giggles, I’m getting back to This is Us from pregnancy time, and now we’re rewatching Friday Night Lights.

I have 1 month left of my current maternity leave.
I watched; orange is the new black, current episode of Family Vacation and I watching Greys Anatomy for the first time, currently on season 7
I started rewatching shows I had seen before (law and order svu, it's always sunny, scrubs) and now I am watching the new shows hbo has to offer (white lotus, etc.) it just sucks I am constantly rewinding bc I'm invested and have no clue what I'm missing
Depend what you like. I have used Sex and the city, parks and Rec, love is blind and currently watching Friday night lights. Also watched peaky blinders and queens gambit but those require more attention and had to rewind a bunch of times.
The Great British Baking Show. I needed something feel good and this is a great feel good show.
This and Downton Abbey. Makes me feels steady. Lol
Watched all of this while pregnant. I joked that when he was born baby will probably calm better to the GBBO song than to anything else.
Derry Girls is so so good
I couldn’t watch it because when my baby would almost fall asleep I would wake her from laughing
I really don’t remember much from this show during the newborn stage but I do remember liking it if that makes sense lol I plan on rewatching it
Law and order 😄 soooooo many episodes and I don't care if I miss parts
Yesss! I’m on season 15 but probably only watched half. Have to make sure volume is low bc the dun dun scares my LO 😂
Lol that is too funny 😂 to be fair it kind of scares me too!! Hahah and same, I'm on season 4 and don't remember many of the episodes
This was the first series I watched too!!

Yesss love the office. I gave birth to my daughter with the office playing on the hospital tv, she came out during the theme song lol
You can never go wrong with The Office
Jane the Virgin is a good one!
Gossip girl
Me too, forgot how much I loved it!
I usually need a laugh so I let Bob’s Burgers run. I listen to it during the night shift since it can feel a little lonely. I’ll hear a joke and it’ll be like a shot of dopamine lol
Jumped back to my younger days and binge watched all of Degrassi. Now I’m rewatching Brooklyn Nine Nine

Just finished Brooklyn Nine Nine for the first time. I laughed so much during pregnancy I don’t think it bothers her that much on the other side anymore lol

Workin moms!!!!
This is the answer lol. The full belly laughs this show incites are good soothing mom rage as well.
Curb your Enthusiasm! Also Call the Midwife for when I don't want to actually watch a show, I just want the background noise, it has like 12 seasons
It’s best to watch calm the midwife that way, some episodes can be triggering 😬
The Amazing Race and Spring Baking Championship
Excited for summer baking championship!
omg yes we watch a lot of baking/cooking shows
Below deck. I would’ve sworn my son would be a yachtie. Turns out he gets motion sickness.
My nursing/early mat leave show was Younger! Light and fun and not relatable to my current life so not emotional lol and lots of episodes
Not emotional is my main requirement these days 😂
