Many thanks and enjoy!

I'd kick her out now, after vomming everywhere

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

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?

Lydia is so quiet - she is amazing!

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

Home birth would be great!

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

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

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

Couldn't agree more Silverymoon

Chocolate teapot time.

Not so quiet now!!

Would love to see a homebirth too.

This one is pretty normal isn't it?

Bit louder now!

agree silvery, would love to include a home birth

aaaaaawwwwwwwwww

Wow wow wow, that baby reaching out.

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

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

OMG that was beautiful, can't stop crying x

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...

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

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

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?

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

theres too much 'filler' IMO.

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
