Aw - I'm not surprised, although to be compared to the gorgeous women in the other popular programme with desparate in the title can't be that bad?

Can't help on the vid front, mine's broken, much to the annoyance of dd and ds!

Oh god I am! Quite a few faces I recognise! Aren't they lovely? But I'm biased obviously!

Oh, he's crying and breathing

OMG, that wee boy scared the h* out of me!

Wonder if it's a good idea to watch this whilst pregnant.

Oh I used to watch the health channel ones when starting my mat leave, and spent half my time in tears because of the lovely babies being born, and the other half scared witless.

I never did the labour bit (induction didn't work) so this whole pushing and shouting/screaming bit is still very curious for me.

I did this with my first. My husband cut me off in the last trimester, however. . It was keeping my mind off the acid reflux, too.

Think so - but will have to fight DH for the remote next week. There are some great advantages to him going to cinema for the evening
