OK. I've waited a year for this programme to come back on. I phoned Channel 4 and begged them to repeat it. I bought the In The Womb and was disatisfied by it (it lacks the serene poetry and has a VERY American feel to it), and now I've switched on the TV to find it on C4, half way through.

Someone somewhere must be taping it on DVD. I'm so wound up I can't get myself to watch the remaining half!

Please send me a copy, I'll pay for it.

My email address is debbie(at)thesalemlot.com

Please replace (at) with @

Many Thanks

oh dear, caught the last half hour of it and was counting on it being repeated. had me in floods of tears (pregnant and hormonal so i have an excuse!)

Thanks

sniff · 23/04/2006 10:10

I cried to whilst thinking how clever we all are!!

Thanks

SHHHH · 23/04/2006 22:07

DH & I watched it a year ago when around 34ish weeks pregnant with dd, amazed the pair of us..I have sky+'d it and intend to watch it when I next have a few hours rest while dd sleeps...Will prepare myself though for wanting another after I have watched it.......

Thanks

diddle · 24/04/2006 12:36

I watched it and sobbed too. I was miscarrying the first time it was on and couldn't bear to watch it. so i am thrilled it wasd repeated now, when i'm 33 wks pregnant. Isn't life amazing. I loved it. But sorry didn't record it.

Thanks

SHHHH · 24/04/2006 15:23

congrats diddle...Watching it the 1st time made dh & I realise even more how precious a pregnancy is. Everything that is stacked against baby being made is amazing. We had suffered x2 mc's previously, watching it made everything fall into place iykwim.

BTW dd is now a mad (nearly) 1 year old..!! .

Hope all goes well with baby.

Thanks

fenny1 · 24/04/2006 15:30

It made me cry! Was watching the first half thinking how clever it all is and then the second half thinking I've got one of those!!!!!!

Thanks

Wasn't it just amazing? We had our 4D scan on Saturday morning so it was perfect timing after seeing our own baba so clearly at 25 weeks. MIL called in tears afterwards, bless her. Really brought home to me what a miracle this is, and made me so aware that there is a tiny little perfect person inside me right now who has reactions to everything I say, feel and eat - it feels like so much responsibility all of a sudden! My sister just leaned over me and yelled 'Oi! when they talked about what the baby can hear. I explained she didn't need to shout. She is 31, by the way...

Thanks
