FFS. I know it is just spin and words but really.

Myleene Klass is helping to save the lifes of "100s of thousands of babies by" being/playing/not sure the word they used, "a midwife in Bangladesh."

I know all that matters is that babies are saved but she is not a midwife and seeing her trying to hear a heartbeat was a bit uncomfortable for me.

I am clearly horrible as I have posted this and moaned about her but I hate the authority she is given when I am unsure that she has any experience really. I know she shadowed a midwifery team in the past, and opened a birthing pool, but is she really going to save all these lives?

And for the thread police I have posted here as it is about to be discussed on the ITGV1 news programme.

Anyway, if a baby is saved, then great. If 100s of thousands are saved, then brilliant.

I take it all back..She sounds very knowledgable and caring. I am a bad bad person.

I'm watching too.

She's not 'pretending' to be a midwife, she's representing Save The Children who are fundraising to provide better midwifery services in the 3rd world. Yes, in today's publicity stunt, she's dressed as a MW and is in a hospital from press interviews, but she was in a t-shirt in the footage of her in Bangladesh.

I thought she spoke really well. The figures on avoidable deaths were terrible. Her involvement got this campaign onto a main news broadcast, and I hope donations follow.

And, justfab, I'm glad you started this thread. It's an important subject.

I knew pretending was the wrong word, I honestly thought that was what the newscaster said. I also took my meaness back as she came across really well. I am also going to donate to try and make up for my stupidity.
