The male midwife (midhusband? I've never known the answer to that) seems very good - it's the first time I've seen a MW explain what can happen if you push too early, rather than just telling the lady not to push.

That said, we only see the edit so of course the others may have said it too.

Bless Amelia - I hope her BF doesn't turn up and she gets together with the male midwife. Yes, that would be a nice ending.

I reckon my MIL would be great actually. Where my SILs had their babies they aren't allowed birth partners :( My poor 19yo SIL had a failed forceps and ventouse all by herself while my poor MIL had to wait outside. My mum would be ok too but I'd rather not! I know a lentil weavery type who had a home birth with DH, mum and granny in attendance...

Have heard from a friend who works at Southampton that Nancy (receptionist) is actually lovely.

SaggyHairyArse · 31/01/2011 21:17

I did LOL at Amelia saying "why me" and the midwife saying "only you can answer that...but it was fun 9 months ago..." said in a really lovely way. True, too true.

I had dd there

AintMissBeehiving · 31/01/2011 21:17

Bets down for when Amelia's bloke will turn up;

a) In time for the birth
b) Within 1-2 hours
c) By the time she leaves
d) Never

When he does, he needs a virtual slap.

Imps7 · 31/01/2011 21:18

Oh, and I'm going to stick up for the receptionist - at least she seems quite jolly and not all doom and gloom.

Caesarian woman is performing for camera.

He's been drinking and is now sleeping.

brimfull · 31/01/2011 21:18

how romantic that he fell in love with her voice

Hopelesslydisorganised · 31/01/2011 21:19

I like Lucy and James - especially the way that their book case was all dishevilled and untidy - like mine Grin

NicolaMarlow · 31/01/2011 21:19

Receptionist's top doesn't help her look not pregnant really.

Imps7 · 31/01/2011 21:19

Christian. He's officially adorable.

CarolinaRua · 31/01/2011 21:19

'Nice' couple are just annoying. My love, my darling .........

oldme · 31/01/2011 21:19

my mil has issues- of the alcohol variety and constantly feels sorry for herself- wood ask my mum next time though- she is a rock- and won't run out for a fag when it gets too stressful!

ah, the male midwife...I think he's lovely

AintMissBeehiving · 31/01/2011 21:19

I had a male midwife, he was lovely too.

Hopelesslydisorganised · 31/01/2011 21:20

Oh Christian seems lovely

Sassybeast · 31/01/2011 21:20

OMG I love that male midwife.

brimfull · 31/01/2011 21:20

he is lovely isn't he

MoonUnitAlpha · 31/01/2011 21:20

Lovely male midwife!

Hopelesslydisorganised · 31/01/2011 21:21

Well said Christian lol

NicolaMarlow · 31/01/2011 21:21

Doesn't midwife mean with woman or something like that? So a male one is still a midwife.

Did they just give all of Amelia's partner's phone number out?

AintMissBeehiving · 31/01/2011 21:21

I love Christian even more now.

CarolinaRua · 31/01/2011 21:21

Lets all call Amelia's boyf now and ask him what the F he is doing?>?????????
