Mummy Pig Went Private!

[MyOliveHelper]

Evie Pig was born in the Lindo Wing even though Mummy Pig has mentioned the COL crisis. I think it was a response to the chronic underfunding and poor performance of the NHS. Saying that, the Lindo isn't infallible.

Did you go private? Would you? Could you?

This. Yes mummy pig has sold out and lost me.....

But equal BIL refused to let my sister go private unless she really wanted to because if his experience (he has worked on various maternity wards, NHS and private)

Oink

A toddler's TV programme called 'Peppa Pig'. The main characters are a pig family. 'Mummy Pig' is pregnant and they're airing the 'new arrival' episode soon. Exciting stuff!

I wish someone would turn that damned annoying pig into rashers. I'd watch that!

Surely Peppa is in her twenties by now...

Miss Rabbit has lots of jobs, they have shown cross-over at least with the supermarket, ice cream stall, midwifery unit, helicopter rescue, fire service, taxi, china shop and theme park.

There are ALSO lots of other Miss Rabbits. Mummy Rabbit just has lots of babies. Madame Lapin is in France and very clear she is not actually Miss Rabbit. And about 5 American Miss Rabbits (taxi driver, diner waitress, forgotten who else) join Supertato in the Hollywood film Vegetables in Space to eat all the carrots, after being Peppa on the campervan trip she got from her potato golden ticket.

I heard the little one was born already, but haven't seen the episode.

Little Evie 💞

Carrie is this you channeling your inner Boris ?!!

I thought there was research to show when you have a state funded and a private option you essentially create a two tier system where those with money have better care and outcomes than those who have to rely on the state. The systems with the best equality of outcome are where private isn’t really a thing- and they are good outcomes for all it bad outcomes for the rich to match the poor.

if we really want to improve the nhs we need to make the people move go don’t need or care about it care again.

then poor mummy pig would not have had to face this ethical dilemma and public scrutiny

This thread has given me flashbacks to the time I bruised a rib coughing brought on by laughter at "Does Daddy Pig snort when he comes?" on here.

Thanks.

I heard, her sort generally have 11-15 per litter, sounds suss to me!

Yep, she's old enough to be carving out her own career now.

She could decide to become a doctor, if that's her chosen path; although that could cause 'issues' for the lawyers of an existing fizzy drink.

Or do the children lose their first names in common usage when they become adults; so would she just be known as Dr Pig on her LinkedIn?

I work in a health system that has public and private and have long experience of both.

I also have high risk pregnancies and would be extremely stupid to use the private system in these circumstances.

I just keep thinking time in the Peppa Pig universe must be a bit like The Simpsons otherwise Peppa and George would be late teens early 20s by now 🤣

But she's paying for it using the money she gets exploiting her kids in their reality show, you can bet Peppa and George got NHS or even free births! I see Evie growing up as the spoiled princess, everyone goes goo-goo for babies so they'll probably change the show name to Evie Pig and just show her rolling around and being cute for the next 20 years

Indeed - Bart is now 46!!

Evie looks very alert for five day-old baby - all a bit suss…

Awhh I was so excited to hear about Evie Pig. My DD16 believed she WAS Peppa Pig when she was little. I can’t tell you how many times I visited Peppa Pig World. She had the full contingent of Peppa’s stuffed toy friends. I was Mummy Pig, the ex was Daddy Pig 😗 DD2 was George 😂 It was very cute. And her name is Evie 💕 Like Mummy Pig I did go private. The Portland not the Lindo. The main reason being that I wanted to know who was delivering the babies - 2 C sections - and my insurance covered it. I don’t blame Mummy Pig for going private if she has the money now but ultimately a hospital is a hospital and I don’t think most people want to be in one at all. Paid for or otherwise.

And ...
Does he?
And, why do I need to know so much.

I had Independent Midwives but that’s because I knew I wanted a homebirth and wanted consistent support from women I got to know. It was very clear that the community midwives in my area were not going to provide this. Not in the same ballpark in terms of cost though.

Thank you! 😂

Ridiculous to judge people for going private! They’re helping to take some burden off the NHS. I never get how so many people are such fierce defenders of a system that is so clearly completely and utterly fucked, just because it’s free. If the government provided a free disgusting, mouldy spam sandwich for every UK citizens’ lunch every day I don’t think people would be judged for paying £3 for a nice M&S sandwich that isn’t going to give them food poisoning. Yes the NHS should be free for people who can’t afford it, but people who can afford it should be taxed accordingly so we can actually have a decent system that works. Or there should be more affordable and better equipped private healthcare so more people can choose to go private to take the burden off the NHS. Even slightly risky births are all transferred to NHS hospitals anyway!

I watched all those baby pigs being born on Clarkson's Farm, and the terrible outcomes....so I am an expert on pig farrowing very suspicious about there only being ONE piglet. Mummy Pig, did you lie on the others? Own up!

Mummy Pig snorts, Daddy Pig squeals.
