The mw said 'do you not want to try anything else first' but wasn't forthcoming with any suggestions!

Maybe if she stayed in there with the Mum and bulit up a relationship of trust the Mum wouldn't be so scared.

laughing at the man saying "baby coming early hours of morning or tomorrow" as if he knows when

MoonUnitAlpha · 07/02/2011 21:24

What a patronising twat!

These midwives spend an awful lot of time in the staff room - if she can see how anxious pink t-shirt mum is why doesn't she spend some time with her, reassuring her!

drivingmisscrazy · 07/02/2011 21:24

mmm, yummy hospital canteen food

ng1412 · 07/02/2011 21:24

why can't she have epidural? Sorry if silly question, first timer here due in May, trying to work out what the heck may happen in my case...

giraffesisonadiet · 07/02/2011 21:25

I dont like hr either - might have helped her to stay with her and reassure her a bit longer.

Mousesmummy · 07/02/2011 21:25

I cannot believe they don't let you have an epidural!!! Why doesn't she leave her tea and biscuits and try to reassure her a bit more - how thoroughly unprofessional!!

Gleeb · 07/02/2011 21:25

MINGE!!!!

Ellielou02 · 07/02/2011 21:25

Wouldnt want that midwife, she seems more interested in her cup of tea, agree with helly patronising as anything.

KangarooCaught · 07/02/2011 21:25

Grin at her troughing her baked potato...she'll be seeing that again!

FriggFRIGG · 07/02/2011 21:25

QuoththeRaven · 07/02/2011 21:25

Emmanana · 07/02/2011 21:26

Pain my minge on National TV - FAB!
Was she talking about the bloke?

Imps7 · 07/02/2011 21:26

Do they normally tend to abandon those who've been there done that quite so much? I can understand if there are first timers to attend to, but to bugger off the staff room and carry on with your cup of tea seems a little, I dunno, complacent.

wrigglerstea · 07/02/2011 21:26

Yeah, we will be seeing it again, pretty soon by the look of it!

Best to have something to bring up though...

expatinscotland · 07/02/2011 21:26

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

I travelled 1.5 hours by ambulance expressly to get an epi.

They fobbed me off and fobbed me off.

I got more and more dope - G&A, diamorphine, whatever I could get, but kept harping till I got what I fucking well came there for.

The baby was 2.5lbs. heavier than his eldest sister and 3.5lbs. heavier than the other one.

After the epi my bp was still 190/115.

Yep. Wound up with two pushes of some bp drug starts with an L and ventouse delivery to get him out.

Oh, yes, he had cord round his neck as well.

giraffesisonadiet · 07/02/2011 21:26

lol at that carash

sheeplikessleep · 07/02/2011 21:26

ng - with both ds's the mw's delayed my request for an epidural (didn't actually end up with one for ds2, but requested it - glad i didn't have one now in hindsight). they seem to let you ask for one for a while, before they say ok. i think it's to let labour progress a while, not too sure really. i guess to see if you can actually get through it without one.

choccyfiend78 · 07/02/2011 21:27

PMSL at a pain in my backside and my minge!!

ihavenewsockson · 07/02/2011 21:27
