OBEM

[Emmanana]

Who's watching???

We caught up with William from the last series in the Christmas special - he's home and doing really well although if I remember rightly he did still need some oxygen support.

I know I wouldn't be able to relax with my own mother there, let alone my MIL!

Disclaimer - I love my mum very much, but she is a worrier and not very good with blood (covers her eyes when watching Casualty )

Oh see that locking of eyes between son and mum

Awwww... that's good. I sobbed my heart out watching that episode.

i had my mum there too! the room was very full!

he's getting on my tits. It is NOT ABOUT YOU

Hello!

Sorry to crash the thread, but my brother in law is running the london marathon for the NICU at the hospital on OBEM (I've already started another thread). I know everyone is strapped for cash, but many of the poorly babies on this series have been fantastically looked after on the NICU, they do brilliant work and always need to fund more cots (my sis in law is a Neonatal nurse on the ward).

Anyway, if anyone can spare a few quid heres the link to his fund-raising page:

Enjoy the rest of the program (even if it does make you blub!)

Many thanks x

My mother would fold her arms, tut and claim she didn't know what the fuss was about. My brother and I were sneezed out and it hurt no more than a stubbed toe. Childbirth isn't remotely painful and if you say it is, you're just fussing.

"You're gonna brave", aka "You're not gonna faint and bring your mum into the room tol hold your hand like the big pansey you are".

Oh, good luck darling

I imagine his mum could have done without that image of a silver-backed gorilla shagging though...

show of hands,
it sounds like my mother.
lw

she is really scared

rushing to a c-section for decels seems like overkill to me but maybe there's more we dont know

Ahh.. seeing her babies for the first time...

Of course it's about him too. He is becoming a father.

why is she having an emergency c-section? missed that bit...

What did it say on the screen? I only caught the bit about the babies heart rate dropping.

Nando's facial features remind me of a lad in my class at primary school; he had some disability, I remember it was a 'syndrome' of some sort.

I know that SOH but the focus should be on her and what she is about to go through without everyone being more concerned for him and his bravery/or not.

ng baby heart rate dropping

darlene - no, it so is not overkill.

she's a very verbal confident first time mum

this is almost too hard to watch... parents are being brilliant; I'd be jelly
