In the quest to stand out among a flooded reality TV market, a pop-up restaurant on My Kitchen Rules last night doubled as a birthing suite and suddenly we had our very own Australian Grey’s Anatomy with a particularly tasty cafeteria.
Melbourne midwives Karen and Ros decided their pop-up restaurant, aptly called Procreations, was the perfect place to double as a birthing suite, complete with prams, photos of pregnant bellies, birthing pools and humidity cribs.
I’m not sure about you guys, but the first thing I want to be thinking about when I swallow some gnocchi (affectionately pronounced “knocky” by last night’s chefs) is the blood and pain associated with the delivery of babies.

"As midwives, we help people who are reproducing and we want to reproduce beautiful food in our kitchen and instant restaurant," they said before their episode.
"It's a celebration of life in the birthing suite and we want them to be celebrating a beautiful meal."

1/ You wouldn't be serving alcohol in a birthing suite then, and
2. I'd be expecting hospital food
3. Humidicribs are for premature babies; while as I know the medical miracle of one having a premmie baby myself, I find the concept distressing to see represented in a dining/ entertainment scenario, especially on commercial TV. Bloody insensitive, midwives should know better.
