To cry at EVERY birth on OBEM?!

I can't be the only one surely? Grin

I have watched it for years and years and years and I still cry at every single birth in every episode Grin

My sister watches it too (she never cries) and thinks it's extremely odd that I get so emotional Blush

I refuse to believe I'm the only one Grin

The music definitely plays its part in inducing the meltdown!!

I find my eyes really tearing up when I know they are at the final stage and then when the baby comes out and gets passed to the mom the tears just start rolling. It's just magical.

I try to cry and sniffle discreetly but I'm sure DH knows what I'm up to Grin

I have cried every time ! Grin

Every single time. I have to watch it on my own though as I'm pregnant and it totally freaks DH out that we need to do it in a few months!

YANBU - I can only enjoy it if I'm watching alone otherwise trying to hold back tears in front of people is no fun.

Didn't cry at my own baby's birth though Confused was a bawling mess when hormones kicked in a day later though

Obviously I don't know you but I bet you're right lovely. That's why you cry because you understand the joy, hope, happiness and sheer love that each of those births capture. Don't ever stop feeling.

Pretty sure I've cried at every one too. Also never made it through a whole episode of 'Call the Midwife' without having a good old cry Blush

We watched The Fault In Our Stars yesterday. I umm, blubbed. Buckets. Proper wailing and sobbing.

Today I am mortified.

OBEM gets to me every time. It's the teeny, crumpled, bleary eyed babies, they're all so bloody adorable. And Oakley, for some reason Oakley on yesterday's really got to me, she was so dignified.

That beautiful girl's poor teeth this morning though :(
