Helen's Baby Sweepstake

[Stickerrocks]

Following on from a comment by DadDadDad on the spoilers thread, any predictions for the birth?

D3 has already picked 6 May.

I'm going for 13 May, 6lb 2 oz, Jonathan.

[MrsWembley]

May 4th (DP's birthday, and he has no interest in TA so it would make me giggle)...

Joan or Jean

5lb 10oz

[LillianGish]

I think it will be born May 20 or 13 (a Friday anyway!!) It will be a girl and she will call it Hope or Faith or some such name possibly with Margaret as a middle name (or Anna if her barrister can get through to her in time).

[LillianGish]

Robert the Bruce

[MovingOnUpMovingOnOut]

Friday 6th May.

6lb 10oz

Edward if a boy
Beatrice Kirsty if a girl (pleeeeease turn out to be a girl just to spite knob!).

[lljkk]

Wee laddie, Anthony Thomas Archer, 8lb + 8 oz, 29 May.

[DadDadDad]

Does that mean I'll have to share the prize for a correct guess with Moving?

[MovingOnUpMovingOnOut]

No you can keep your own prize DDD

I forgot you'd picked 6th. I was actually thinking off camera delivery with labour starting on 6th and announcement on the Sunday.

So I'll go for 7th. I cba to read the thread a again to see if anyone's picked it. If they have pls strike my date and I'll pin all my hopes on the name.

[MovingOnUpMovingOnOut]

Not camera. Mic. Ffs 🙉

[SquirrelledAway]

I'll throw my hat into the ring:

6lbs 2oz
Friday 13th May
John Thomas (because SOC is a bit of a knob).

[SquirrelledAway]

On second thoughts (since 13th May has already gone), I'll change that to:

6lbs 2oz
Saturday 14th May (so we only get the labour as a cliffhanger on a Friday)
John Thomas (because SOC is still a bit of a knob).

[elpth]

Does it mean if he's called Anthony I'll have to share with lljkk ?

[Martha46]

It will turn out to be a girl... with cerebral palsy... all Helen's fault of course... Just ask Rob

[Stickerrocks]

Squirrel that was very noble of you to change, but I'll let you win if you're that tiny bit closer on 13th to the correct name than me!

[lljkk]

How about I get Anthony Thomas & you get any other Anthony, Elpth? Don't weight & date count too, anyway?

[elpth]

Deal lljkk!
No mention of baby or pregnancy for some time oddly (not heard tonight's, off to main thread to see if it's worth listening or not).

[VitaSackvileVeste]

SOC going for unrelenting misery.

Stillbirth. Rob accuses Helen of murdering the baby and she is prosecuted for infanticide.

[officerhinrika]

I'm thinking Kirsty Jessica and 5lb something. I so want the scan to have been wrong.

[DadDadDad]

It's probably worth pointing out that listings in the Radio Times etc (see the spoiler thread) probably now rule out some dates for the birth, so I think we're at the point of saying "no more bets" and just seeing who's right.

[DadDadDad]

Just did a quick tally, and I note that we've got every date up to 19th covered, except 8th, 15th and 16th.

I think the 15th could be a winner.

[Plexie]

How is a baby registered when the mother is in prison? Can Rob go and register the baby with whatever name he chooses? Or is there paperwork he needs to take and if Helen withholds it she can choose the name?

[AugustaFinkNottle]

Right, I'm going out on a limb and saying 22nd.

[AugustaFinkNottle]

Oh dear. That's now looking like an extremely poor prediction.
