Mumsnet Talk

Oh dear. From 0-8cm in, what, 15 minutes? Bucket of water dropped from the skirt area then immediate contractions so painful she couldn't stand. Have they no responsibility for educating the great British public?

On the other hand, I suppose a three day episode isn't really likely.

Nice clean baby at the end of it to.

And the baby has jelly on its head!!

was that raspberry jelly on that otherwise immaculately clean, baby's head

True, this kind of 1st birth makes everyone think it is so quick, what a lie I wish it was true!

do we know who the father is yet?

Very clean baby!

someone on a thread last night said it was Darren

please where is the midwife meant to be from?tuned in late and placing accent driving me mad

yep, Robertsons strawberry jam on its head

Strawberry jam we reckon!

Well i dont care that baby arrived 10 minutesa fter waters broke, nor that baby was the cleanest i've ever seen...other than midwife obviously dropping her toast on his head.

She has the most fantastic taste in baby names.

strawberry jelly surely?

i missed it, whoops - what name did she go for?

To be fair a proper first brthday would have needed more than a double billing, and mostly not that exciting!

George Micheal Trott.

Has she given him a bottle yet? Or are they going to make her struggle with breastfeeding for a few days before she gives up and continues Eastenders love affair with formula?

And who is the father?? (don't actually watch it, but know what's going on from the covers of shite gossip mags etc!)

I reckon it's Darren.
It was a bloke in a suit the club toilets ("businessman" Heather said I think!) and Darren is the only one who wears a suit all the time. Plus he's in shot every time the baby's father is discussed!

As he has just got engaged, EE bosses aren't allowed to let anyone be happy for long.

Aw but he was gorgeous though. <<swoon>>

I would love it if somebody could have a baby on tv and have contractions for ages without their waters going. I have never had a 'wooosh' moment in any of my labours, my waters have always hung in there till the last minute - with dd3 I reckon I would have delivered at least an hour earlier if they had gone. I would love to see somebody on tv in the delivery room yelling 'my bottom will EXPLODE'!

But oh no it's all - waters break, contractions and screaming then nice clean baby.

Hands up here whose baby had poo on them when born?

Strawberry jam my arse <<walks off muttering>>

I don't know who the father is, but I do know its either Phil, Minty or Billy.
All will be revealed next week.

well, my waters "whooshed" in a big gush on the floor

then I laboured for 3 days !

< sigh >

Well, my waters was my 1st sign of labour - major flood too! But I didn't get any contractions and not a nice easy birth like 'evva's

great minds eh scaryfucker

Show off!
