Channel 4 have asked Mumsnet to find out what you think about their new series of One Born Every Minute. The second episode is tonight - Channel 4 at 9pm - it is a 12 part series.

We've recruited a special panel of volunteer viewers to add their comments to this thread. Channel 4 don't have specific questions for you - they are interested in your general comments and thoughts about all aspects of the programme and the debate this generates. 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.

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 18th.

Additionally - if you haven't already - do have a look at the extra info about the series on the One Born Every Minute website - and let us know on this thread what you think about it.

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

Many thanks and enjoy!
MNHQ

I'd kick her out now, after vomming everywhere

TheSkiingGardener · 17/01/2011 21:24

To be fair my DH was on text duty to keep the prospective GPs in the loop. He made a good buffer zone.

TotorosOcarina · 17/01/2011 21:25

shes doing so well in the pool

nice to see a more natural birth

maybe they could do a 1 off episode about HOME BIRTH?

Ewe · 17/01/2011 21:25

Lydia is so quiet - she is amazing!

FrumpyPumpy · 17/01/2011 21:25

She seems to be coping well with contractions. Tendayi and her DP seem to have a lovely relationship, and wonderful voices.

SilveryMoon · 17/01/2011 21:25

Home birth would be great!

AtYourCervix · 17/01/2011 21:26

At what point during this series are they going to show a completely normal birth?

SilveryMoon · 17/01/2011 21:26

Someone tell the sister to get out if she's gonna keep pulling those faces

MrsShrekTheThird · 17/01/2011 21:27

I'd have to send the sister packing as well. Maybe it's a target for the producers to include someone irritating in each prog

TheSkiingGardener · 17/01/2011 21:27

Couldn't agree more Silverymoon

Chocolate teapot time.

Pesha · 17/01/2011 21:27

Not so quiet now!!

Would love to see a homebirth too.

Ewe · 17/01/2011 21:27

This one is pretty normal isn't it?

Bit louder now!

MrsShrekTheThird · 17/01/2011 21:28

agree silvery, would love to include a home birth

SilveryMoon · 17/01/2011 21:28

aaaaaawwwwwwwwww

TheSkiingGardener · 17/01/2011 21:28

Wow wow wow, that baby reaching out.

Ewe · 17/01/2011 21:29

Aw, this one has really made me cry and I NEVER cry at stuff like this.

SilveryMoon · 17/01/2011 21:30

That was like my dp, snoring in the chair. Get it whilst you can mate! lol

HarryDan · 17/01/2011 21:31

OMG that was beautiful, can't stop crying x

MrsShrekTheThird · 17/01/2011 21:31

right so this is half past, so what on earth are they going to put in the other half of the programme? I would probably now be choosing to go and do the ironing / washing / make toast as this one's not quite giving me the 'interest' factor that they usually do. Not sure why, could be me being a grumpy bugger...

AtYourCervix · 17/01/2011 21:31

And why the formula adverts during the break???????

kingprawntikka · 17/01/2011 21:31

That was a calm reassuring birth for mums to be who are watching. Balances all the screaming last week.

MrsShrekTheThird · 17/01/2011 21:32

it's lacking the little interviews and interjections with the midwives I think - that sort of stuff tends to keep me hooked as well as following the mums and families.

So is the rest on the other couple then. Wonder what's going to happen there? Is the rule one simple and one complicated?

Am I a cynic?

TotorosOcarina · 17/01/2011 21:33

I think it would be better to have 3 couples and episode

theres too much 'filler' IMO.

SilveryMoon · 17/01/2011 21:34

KPT That's a good point. But I am agreeing with MrsS, not sure why I'm not into this week, maybe it's because today is the most depressing day of the year or something, but I do feel that there has been too much focus on other people, instead of mum-to-be and I actually think if it wasn't for the vouchers, I'd be switching off now and going to bed
