What’s the Story?

Reviewed byEmily Ashby
RUNWAY MOMS chronicles the pregnancy and birth stories of professional models at a unique agency that specializes in representing expecting and new moms and their babies. Much like A Baby Story, each episode puts a new expectant mom in front of the camera to share her thoughts on pregnancy, childbirth, and life as a new mom. The main difference is that for these stunningly beautiful women, being in front of a camera is all in a day's work -- which brings them to Expecting Models, the world's only agency devoted to representing models during pregnancy. The women talk about their careers, their families, their hobbies, and the ups and downs of their pregnancies. Some confess to worries about labor and delivery, others share tips for staying in shape while expecting, and all open up about the feelings they've experienced during pregnancy.

Is It Any Good?

Throughout the show, Expecting Models president Liza Elliott-Ramirez -- who acts as both an agent and a close friend to many of her clients -- talks about the company she started after having her own two children. She discusses the market for pregnant models and new mom/baby teams and shares her joy at being able to represent these unconventional professionals.

For regular watchers of TV's ubiquitous Baby Story-esque shows, Runway Moms offers little originality ... but plenty of the soaring emotions that surround childbirth. And since this series doesn't feature actual delivery scenes (the most graphic it gets is mentioning dilation), it's a good option for introducing kids to issues surrounding pregnancy and birth, especially if you're expecting yourself. As an added bonus, pop-ups explain potentially unfamiliar medical terms like "amniocentesis" and "pitocin" when they arise.
