MAIA DUNPHY’S THE TRUTH ABOUT CHILDBIRTH

In 2012 Maia Dunphy made her first ever TV documentary; “From Boom to Maternity.” As a newly-married 36 year-old plagued and perplexed by those “next step baby?” questions, Maia took a personal journey through the Irish baby-making industry during the biggest baby boom in the history of the State. Three years on, the baby boom’s still blasting only this time Maia’s not a spectator, she’s a participant.  Battling feelings of panic, she faces into the biggest upheaval of her life;  challenging her own deep-seated fears about childbirth by meeting women who’ve given birth in every possible way, from homebirth to waterbirth, Scientology silent birth to a woman who gave birth all alone in the toilets of a garage forecourt.
