Lovely to watch an unplanned pregnancy resulting in the birth of a little boy whose father couldn't care less Hmm

Olessaty · 02/02/2011 22:48

Yes, there is still loveliness in those circumstances. My amazing daughter was born in them and she was an angel, I was so amazed by her, I have the most beautiful picture of the OMG it's an actual baby moment. YANBU.

yogididabooboo · 02/02/2011 22:48

whatever the circumsatnces that lead to that moment, the moment itself was im sure beautiful

TattyDevine · 02/02/2011 22:49

It was a lovely birth.

And he might give a shit by now. You never know, he might have fallen in love with that little baby boy.

Well she has a close relationship it seemed with her own mum and that counts for a lot. I wish them luck.

I thought he looked absolutely besotted holding the baby at the end. He didn't seem fantastic, but they hardly show you a full and rounded picture of relationships do they?

Either way, she did brilliantly and has a fantastic, no nonsense relationship with her mum. It was gorgeous.

The other couple however were so horribly annoying I could have done without seeing them and their overblown am-dram performances TBH

You know that the lovely male midwife Christian has posted on the OBEM thread in Telly Addicts?! He's posting as "midhusband" and says he'd like to do a MNet web chat.

You'll have to wade through all the flirting and fawning complimentary posts to fund him, but he is there!

CaveMum · 02/02/2011 22:57

Fund him?! Hmm

Find him!

LoisLame · 02/02/2011 22:57

Omg that other couple were making me feel sick! It was lovely how open and supportive that mother/daughter relationship was. Don't think I would have coped half as well as I did if my mum was my birthing partner!

pigletmania · 02/02/2011 23:01

The other couple were blughh and very up their own arse. What with the lady listening to her doggy tunes or was it whale music Grin

lalalonglegs · 02/02/2011 23:12

I thought the other couple were sweet - she was being soooo polite. Polish woman was brilliant, her mother was ace - how old was Amelia (the one having the baby)? She looked barely out of the sandpit but was very un-self-absorbed for a teenager, I thought.

The Polish boyfriend is off the scene.

lalalonglegs · 02/02/2011 23:33

Is that official? Didn't have high hopes but Amelia was lovely and their son was gooooorgeous (and I don't normally go for newborns). Hope her mum is still around for her.

If he's a midwife seems strange that he'd call himself 'midhusband' - midwife means with woman/wife; midhusband would mean with man/husband. A midwife would know that.

agnethafaltskog · 03/02/2011 13:02

He describes himself as a midwife - "midhusband" is his MN nickname.

PigValentine · 03/02/2011 13:06

WHat do you mean, if he's a midwife?!

We've all seen him on TV being one!!

Oh and agnethafaltskog I was the result of an unplanned pregnancy, whose father didn't give a shit - it doesn't mean I wasn't a much loved and celebrated baby. What a horrible thing to say.

StormInaCCup · 03/02/2011 13:32

I was thinking when I watched it how much I hoped to get a midwife like him - he was absolutely lovely.

I don't think the posh couple were particularly polite, just very clearly well bred. She was obviously dying to get across how annoyed she was to have been made to wait on the ward - but couldn't possibly say so so resorted to a kind of passive-agressive 'i'm going for a walk to stretch my legs as i've been here 3 hours' in a very jolly-hockeysticks kind of way.

I also found the relentless listing of all the talented musicians in her and her DHs family a bit nutty as well as being very smug. When she was singing to her DH I was creasing myself laughing - even he looked a bit embarassed by it!

The Polish girl was a sweetie and very funny. I cried my eyes out when her little one was born and her mum was saying 'we've got a baby' in a kind of wonderment. I was sad for her that her partner seemed to be uninterested and useless, but nevertheless I was pleased to see that she had such a good support in her mum and they obviously both doted on the baby.

Shimmerysilverglitter · 03/02/2011 13:38

I had a male midwife too and he was wonderful also, think takes a very special kind of man to that job.

agnethafaltskog · 03/02/2011 17:43

I think the "posh" couple (can't remember their names)have received an unfair bashing on MN (see Telly Addicts thread). She was clearly very, very nervous about the procedure and handling it the best way she could which included jabbering on and singing Smile

When she told the consultant she had been waiting for 3 hours, he said he'd been in theatre since 8.30am whereas he should have apologised.
