Yes Totoros I don't like that, don't see the point in them airing that either tbh

[TotorosOcarina]

i like that midwife

[TheSkiingGardener]

Ah water birth, are they going to mention the sieve???

[kingprawntikka]

I wish I'd looked that good in labour!

[Ewe]

Really like the young couple, probably because I was a year younger than her when I had my DD so can relate easily. How fab does Lydia look in that bikini?

So good to see a water birth too.

[TotorosOcarina]

nice they are letting her sister in. such a lovely family

[SilveryMoon]

I'm not really feeling this episode as much as last weeks.
There's a bit too much negativity for me, what with the cleaner moaning and the family of the young couple talking about abortions and lack of contraception

[MrsShrekTheThird]

mrs pickles - nooo wayyyy
pmsl

[Ewe]

Aww, I like hearing about the falling in love bit, sets the scene really nicely.

[SilveryMoon]

This couple seem lovely

[TotorosOcarina]

really nice little interview then with those 2, he really loves her

[MrsShrekTheThird]

I know they need to show the 'waiting' and long process sort of thing, but this is a bit yawwnnnn atm

[RailwayChild]

Why are the Dad's so useless?

What's with texting whilst she labours?

[TotorosOcarina]

i think i'd be kicking that sister out!!!

[kingprawntikka]

I am enjoying this weeks episode more. The couples both seem really nice.

[Ewe]

I had a fanjo wax a week before my EDD it seemed ever so important at the time. I couldn't cope with the thought of all the blood n gunk getting in my lady hair.

[TheSkiingGardener]

I love seeing the midwives getting organised, worrying about notes, organising all the women on the whiteboard. Its the other side of the unique experience every couple is going through. I find the contrast really engaging.

[MrsShrekTheThird]

get the mac and wellies out - ARM time

[SilveryMoon]

MrsShrek agree. Although it is nice to get a bit of background info, I am watching this because I am interested in labour and childbirth, not because I want to hear if the sister likes hospitals or not

[Pesha]

I'd rather see more of the mum and dad than the bloody sister moaning about how hard it is for her, whats she got to do with anything?!

[TotorosOcarina]

how far dialted is lydia, did they say?

[Shivs1974]

Why are they breaking her waters? Why has she come out of the pool?? I refused to cone out once in :-)

[kingprawntikka]

The sister looks like she'll need more support than the mum to be!

[Ewe]

Sister would be out on her arse, how irritating.
