Did anyone see last nights programme. I can't believe how calm that lady was at the beginning, the one where the midwife said she looked to posh to push. I could never stay looking like that through my labour..

I did feel for the family at QMC who's little girl did not breath at first.

She was calm due to the epidural! couldn't feel a thing, and look where it got her, forceps delivery ouch! once the drugs wear off!!

I thought the lady who was 'to posh to push' looked fantastic, in fact I said to my husband 'that how I want to be!!!' Calm, quiet, and looking good! I realise the last thing on my mind will be how I look, but in the calm before the storm there is no harm in preparing..is there? In fact this very morning I decided my leg hair had taken a life of its own so grabbed the bull by the horns and had a full defuzzing session and am now as smooth as a babies bottom! I just hope baby arrives before it grows back as I cannot face trying to get into those sorts of positions again ! Sorry to those who probably think I'm shallow, but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do!
Does anyone else 'force / encourage' their partners to watch desperate midwives? I've managed it 3 times so far!!! My husband is now in awe of what I have to do!!!!

I guess there is something to be said about making the most of your 'moment!'

Nish · 21/07/2005 10:46

My husband watches them with me occasionally, specially the first 5 as we were waiting the one we were on to be televised. I like to be in control when I am in labour too don't care what I look like.

SCRUFF1 · 22/07/2005 18:15

Which one were you then, I have been a dedicated follower so probably saw you?! Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Nish · 25/07/2005 20:03

I was on programme 5, I was the first mum of the programme to give birth, I had a little girl called Keira (I was the 2nd time mum).

If I am not mistaken it is the last one tonight isn't it?
