As someone who has never been pg or given birth - what the hell is the tablet thing about?

sheeplikessleep · 07/02/2011 21:18

baby heartbeat sound on machine brings it all back ...

darleneconnor · 07/02/2011 21:18

Surgery would maybe be riskier for her than a 'normal' mum.

Dunoon · 07/02/2011 21:18

Or maybe not.

drivingmisscrazy · 07/02/2011 21:18

I assume the repeated disappearance of heart lady's bloke and mum is at her request (e.g. every time she's examined)? Seems odd to have it all over the telly, but not want your partner there Hmm -

BertieBotts · 07/02/2011 21:18

Ohh I've missed the start. The first couple had only been together 10 months? I can top that Grin My ex and his new girlfriend had been together for 9 months + 1 week by her due date Confused

sheeplikessleep · 07/02/2011 21:18

imps - i think tablet is to induce her and get labour underway

"what's your plan for pain relief"

["to wait until the end of this bloody contraction before I speak to you, you **"]

Pink t-shirt mum mentioned an epidural but the mw seemed to ignore her!

Imps7 · 07/02/2011 21:19

Sheep - don't they use a drip with jungle potion (saw that on a previous episode)? Or are there lots of different ways (or two at least)?

expatinscotland · 07/02/2011 21:20

I fucking hate that, 'There's no need to panic' shite. No, bitch, there's no reason for you to panic, but my brain is saying something else so kindly fuck off!

It ain't exciting, bitch.

And guess what, bitch? It still hurts even if you've done it before?

Patronising cow.

ImFab · 07/02/2011 21:20

I don't think she was patronising, she was trying to calm Sara down.

sheeplikessleep · 07/02/2011 21:21

don't know imps to be honest Grin

she's me "i want an epidural, i can't do it" Grin

expatinscotland · 07/02/2011 21:21

'Pink t-shirt mum mentioned an epidural but the mw seemed to ignore her!'

Yeah, they always fucking do unless you insist on it every single time you open your mouth.

She's done it twice, if her body feels she needs the epi, she needs it.

Ladyface · 07/02/2011 21:21

"Your new best friend" Grin. That was me with dd. I loved loved loved the gas and air.

Mrsmackie · 07/02/2011 21:21

Don't think she was being patronising - just reassuring her

KangarooCaught · 07/02/2011 21:21

BertieBotts Hmm maybe she's having an elephant? Grin

hellymelly · 07/02/2011 21:22

that midwife is such an absolute cow.Is she the world's most patronising person?

Gleeb · 07/02/2011 21:22

Not liking this midwife!

QuoththeRaven · 07/02/2011 21:22

thats what dh said darlene.

KangarooCaught · 07/02/2011 21:23

My MW said they try to counsel away from epidurals - which explains a lotHmm

oldme · 07/02/2011 21:23

AnathemaDevice - lol I don't know how I would cope with those childbirth is a doddle comments, mind you I didn't- thats why he is probably an ex!

Imps7 · 07/02/2011 21:23

It's alright love - you carry on with your biscuit then...

wrigglerstea · 07/02/2011 21:24

She is NEVER going to manage to deliver like that! What she really needs is someone to actually calm her down, not just tell her to pull herself together and then leave her.

Dunoon · 07/02/2011 21:24

Gawd I wouldn't want that midwife
