It's as cringe as you'd expect. First off.... I've never met a first time parent that isn't super careful and cautious and attentive to everything. How do you assume that because your doctor says "hi" to a stranger, that he knows them and would endorse them as your midwife? Come on. She's a lawyer and yet doesn't use her lawyer skills to background check the person she wants to deliver her baby? Why does Lifetime give their characters careers like lawyer/doctor/anything that require critical thinking and logic, but have them do the opposite? A friend of mine and his wife chose home births for all three of their children. They probably wouldn't make it through this movie. Then all the doctor says is keep me posted and then he's never seen again. Would he not have in his network the resources to maybe investigate to find out...anything? I feel like this movie did not do what would most likely come natural to people in this situation.
Then the ending...good grief. The house is in flames (a la Rebecca), the villain goes back inside to die after the couple escapes. The pregnant and in labor mom2be is acting like she just went for a run and is winded. Hello! A psycho tried to kill you, your husband, and baby. Your home is in flames...and you're in labor...sure, let's just stroll away from the scene. Terrible.
On top of all of this, it was boring. I had it on as background noise while cleaning and got sick of it, so I started skipping through.
