Aw - I'm not surprised, although to be compared to the gorgeous women in the other popular programme with desparate in the title can't be that bad?

Can't help on the vid front, mine's broken, much to the annoyance of dd and ds!

Oh god I am! Quite a few faces I recognise! Aren't they lovely? But I'm biased obviously!

Oh my - the little boy isn't breathing properly. Am sat here with my heart inmy throat. Not sure I should be watching such a crucial part of someone's life.

Oh, he's crying and breathing

OMG, that wee boy scared the h* out of me!

Wonder if it's a good idea to watch this whilst pregnant.

Oh I used to watch the health channel ones when starting my mat leave, and spent half my time in tears because of the lovely babies being born, and the other half scared witless.

I never did the labour bit (induction didn't work) so this whole pushing and shouting/screaming bit is still very curious for me.

I did this with my first. My husband cut me off in the last trimester, however. . It was keeping my mind off the acid reflux, too.

No doubt, Hula. That's be BRILL!

Hulababy · 23/05/2005 21:30

Think so - but will have to fight DH for the remote next week. There are some great advantages to him going to cinema for the evening

fashill · 23/05/2005 21:32

Only caught the last 10 mins, poo!! I'm due my 1st on Friday so now I've got a better idea of what I'm expecting!! Is it on again next week as I'll be watching if I'm still here

Yes sent mine to his brothers, he definitely wouldn't have watched it - would scare him witless
