Channel 4 have asked Mumsnet to find out what you think about their new series of One Born Every Minute (starting today, Monday 10th January at 9pm). We've recruited a special panel of volunteer viewers to add their comments to this thread. The panel are a mix of Mumsnetters, all of whom are parents, some pregnant, some not, some have seen the programme before, others haven't.

They would also love any other Mumsnetters - ie folks NOT in the panel - to add their comments here. Anyone who contributes to this thread will be entered into a prize draw where one winner, drawn at random, will win a £50 Amazon voucher.

We'll also be having a thread after the second programme, next Monday.

So, please post your thoughts and comments on the programme below. We'd welcome 'live' feedback during the broadcast as well as a comment at the end. If you can't post during the broadcast please add your thoughts by the end of Tues Jan 11th.

If you are a panel member please identify yourself as one when you first post.

Many thanks and enjoy!
MNHQ

Woohoo! I've been looking out for this thread.

I'll be back later to add my comments. It's going to be really weird seeing the midwife who delivered me on TV again.

Ooh, dilemma - Glee is on tonight at 9 too!!

Might have to record something...

Ewe · 10/01/2011 19:07

Wow - she delivered you? That must be odd!

I'm on the panel. Is it ok if I report back whilst watching it on +1? No worries if not, just DP is a big Glee fan!

whomovedmychocolate · 10/01/2011 19:16

Am not a panel member but I'm planning to watch, keeps DH away for sure so I get some peace! Wink

PurpleMiffy · 10/01/2011 19:47

I shall be watching

Swaliswan · 10/01/2011 19:48

I've been looked after by both of the midwives in tonight's episode. Barbara looked after me when I was in pre-term labour and Sr Duggan delivered DS four weeks later!

mummysmadhouse · 10/01/2011 20:23

cant wait till 9pm ...eek! Grin

onadietcokebreak · 10/01/2011 20:27

Marking my place for when I finally get to watch it. Have recorded it.

TheLogLady · 10/01/2011 20:33

oooh i wish they'd chosen me for the 'special panel'.

TheLogLady · 10/01/2011 20:34

Postmen deliver.

Midwives catch Grin

Swaliswan · 10/01/2011 20:41

Grin TheLogLady. She very nearly didn't get her gloves on in time to catch. I prefer the idea of DS being delivered by the postman. It sounds a bit like the stork delivering a baby. Far less painful than giving birth, surely?

SilveryMoon · 10/01/2011 20:50

Hello Grin

I am a panel member.

Just settling in now. Getting comfy on the sofa and waiting for it to come on.

SilveryMoon · 10/01/2011 21:01
