to want to slap the girl on 'one born every minute'?

[HoopsIsGettingMassive]

in the title really, she is really making a meal of it!!

She's just scared and not getting much reassurance really.

Poor girl. I feel sorry for her.

It does seem as though she's aware (in between contractions) that she's not coping well - "I'm being a real wimp! I thought I could do this but I can't!" - but she just can't handle the pain.

Feel sorry for her parther too. He's clearly panicking and thinking, "They never said it would be like this at the NCT classes!" and is at a loss as to how to comfort her. It's not like a back massage or a cool flannel is going to calm her down now she's in this state, is it?

Saying that, I'm very glad I'm not her midwife or labouring in a room near her!

The other woman is really annoying though!

They're both pissing me off. I keep flicking to the Brits instead

They are both annoying in different ways. The older woman is just such a whinger.

oh button it,childbirth you're entitled to have high expressed emotions.its the rules

are you mumping about because she isnt breathing deeply and saying "i am a goddess...oh and no analgesia..chewing gum will suffice for the pain"

Actually I'm warming to the young dad. He seems like a bit of a product of his circumstances. And I'm guessing he went nowhere near an NCT class.

You can't assault a woman in labour!! I'm shocked you'd think such a thing.
(takes too literally and irritates OP)

God, you're all meanies!

Am assuming that you all managed to dilate completely silently and calmly, of course. Like me.

I think the wet lettuce for a man deserves a slap, but that fucking chinese woman is pissing me off. Dont moan about our NHS service, they do their best. But, fwiw, I made more of a fuss than the younger girl so who am I to judge .
Ahhh Im actually getting false labour pains thinking abou it...

I think the mother did the right thing by getting her to focus and calm down a bit. All that panicing was making her worse.

notanumber at roaring like a wounded animal.

I didn't know there was a limit to the amount of fuss you were allowed to make in labour. Must remember to check that out beforehand... Bullies

Aww now I have tears rolling down my cheek...

[brooooooody emoticon]

i want the old midwife to deliver mine, she is really lovely x

I know, just how delicious is that baby.

yep chinese woman needs a slap too.....kicking off about her food!!!

baby is gorgeous though, might not slap her too hard

Ok some babies are minging, but that one is gorgeously scrummy [girly jazz hands]

OK, that was harsh and I take it back. But how offensive

Does that receptionist actually do anything?

She's diabetic! And has been stuck in hospital for 4 days wondering if anything is ever ever going to happen. When I was induced my biggest fear was that it would take days to kick off. I think she's allowed a whinge.

The chineese woman is soooooo annoying sorry she is, idont think i was ever that whiney. Whinging about everything under the sun, yes Sams baby is so cute.
