Call the Midwife - who would deliver your baby?

[UrsulaBirken]

This has probably already been done at some point, but I have been binge watching CtMW over the last few days as its cosiness and keep calm and carry on vibe has been soothing me, and it got me thinking: which midwife would I choose to deliver my baby?

I like both the glamour and no nonsense approach of both Patsy and Trixie so I think perhaps one of those. But then for the daily visits afterwards I think Barbara would be so lovely to talk to and perhaps become friends with afterwards.

Hmmm... what do you all think?

Sister Juilienne.

I find her voice calming and She seems pretty trustworthy/professional. I could imagine Trixie judging that I don’t have organic milk or the lasted wallpaper or patsy having a good laugh about it all later.

Nurse Crane! I love her. You’d be safe with her!

Lucille is my current favourite. Very down to Earth.

I would like Patsy or Chummy, probably.

Ohhh I miss CTW, can I rewatch it all somewhere?
Nurse Crane is great so her or Sister Julienne as a PP said I like her voice, it's very calming.

Sr Julienne and Shelagh would be my dream team.

Yeah Chummy!

Not the one who then became a nun. She is the most boring one but also a bit of a drip. I’d want someone to be quite forceful and strong when I needed them.

All f CTM is on iPlayer.

@CatVsChristmasTree they're all on iPlayer. Get bingeing!

Sister Julienne! And Chummy maybe.

When Shelagh gave birth and she chose sister Julienne, and her baby was back to back- this happened to me but my midwife basically ignored me and let me think I was dying. I know it’s only tv but I remember watching this episode and wishing I had someone to say the things she did and support me like that.

Nurse Crane or Sister Evangelina definitely. I'd feel safe in their hands but also confident that neither would take any shite from me.

All of them?
Oh, that's the rest of the day sorted then. I've already achieved today's goals (clean floors and make mince pies).

Yep. New ep on Christmas evening so you've got 2 days to catch up

Phyllis or Lucille. Why would you want glamour?

I'd feel reassured by the character played by Jenny Agutter.

Phyllis. She's the best, no nonsense but kind and caring, she's been there and seen it all. Love her

I had a BBA so I would have been the woman in ?s3 in the green dress who gave birth at home alone

Phyllis. Definitely. She's my favourite even above sister evangelina just

Phyllis!! No nonsense, very experienced, very kind. Also Lucille, very calm.
Trixie's voice would have been screaming for more drugs

Loved reading all of these replies! They'd all be wonderful of course - although I do agree that Sister Mary Cynthia is rather wet and drippy. Although lovely of course.

I won't apologise for appreciating a touch of glamour!

Lovely Lucille would keep me calm. Not sure I’d fancy Trixie there all cat eye flicks and stockings looking immaculate. They’d be super impressed with my 2020 house though- hot running water all day and if needs be we can call the ambulance from this phone in my pocket...

Has to be Nurse Crane. Worst would be Trixie - that pseudo-posh voice would have me screaming!

Lucille and nurse Crane. They are all great though!

Shelagh, Lucille or sister Julien. All very calming, although I'd need warning about the nun outfit for sister Julien.

I think Patsy, she's so authoritative and put together but not in that over done way like trixie.. I'd trust her the second she showed up
