One Born Every Minute. Tissues and Judgy Pants at the ready!

[beejayel]

Am a teensy bit excited. And NOT pregnant this series, so can watch without that sense of impending doom.

atruth OH got demobbed the month DD was born. If he hadnt been thrown in the glasshouse for a week for going out of bounds he wouldnt have made it in time

Freya is beautiful!!

Bloody madness, why he couldn't have a couple of weeks at home before he had to go? I know some have come home for the birth. Hard to imagine leaving your one day old baby and going to Afghan for 6 months :(

SOOOOO!!! FUNNY!!! Outfit for the water!

As if that little red skirt is going to cover your fanjo from the world

Freya is gorgeous.

I warmed to both dads by the end.

I just thought "I don't want one". Nature and age have coincided nicely - I'm very lucky, I know.

One day indeed. A friend of mine is a male midwife at LGI and he declined to be part of the show :(

ohdoadmit i know it can be done, but its just not gonna happen for me.

Kinda made the decision that we would stop after my last mc.

Doesnt stop me wanting one desperately with every cell in my body.

Nature rules in my case

Chipping, the problem is if his regiment are going away he has to go with them. They don't send one man at a time.
The deployment will have been planned many many months ago and the personnel out in Afghan cant come home till their reacements arrive.

not v impressed by this programme - seems to be all about the parents and not about the births!

Sending oflip a hug

Going out of bounds on purpose MrsDeVere?

na really im fine, thanks for the hugs they are lush

Oh my goodness, I had to stop typing as I was weeping! I want another baby! They were so scrummy and new.

People are being pretty vile on twitter about that couple.
How people can construct a whole lifestory/style from a few edited minutes out of a family's life I dont know.
They seemed a nice enough couple to me.

There's a big sign at the end of the corridor that says 'ACTIVE BIRTH' yet both women were on their backs.

Sorry oflip I didnt mean to minimize your experiences
Just lots of people think they cant once they are past 40 (I know I was one of them!).
Have another hug

Our NCT teacher called it 'One born on their backs every minute' and tried to ban us all from watching the last series.

i was a bit like that "water outfit" lady first time around - had a spreadsheet of every item I needed and 3 page birth plan. My how I laughed, bitterly, when i read it a few weeks after first birth.

Well. I may have said it a couple of times but they both had epidurals and we didn'[t see much of their labours so will let it slide for this week..

Kurt needs to grow up. He isn't that young and not an excuse. No 'Can I see my baby' or 'how's my partner' just I need a cig and I need a drink. Nob. Poor Beth.

other couple were lovely.

which couple are they being vile about? (cant be bothered with twitter anymore)

atruth well yes but not because he was thinking about getting home for the birth
He won a boxing match, got a bit pissed at an out of bounds nightclub, got caught and slung in jail for a few days, missed some thingy the rest of the battalion were going on so managed to get home in time for DD's birth.
He was a right twit in those days bless him. He was only 21

ohdoadmit you were not minimising you daft bag!! not at all...in fact you offer me such hope and a nice warm feeling in my tummy

Its lovely that you had 2, absolutely lovely, and thankyou for the lovely hugs.

I agree with getheroff, I fully understand that he was probably scared but not once did he ask how Beth or the baby was. He just needed a cig and to go to the pub.

I wasn't very nice about the guy, admittedly.
It's because it reminds me of what I see, often.
Young girls, with guys like that, who are proud, and show off their weans for a week.
Once they've been dressed up in the baby football kit, they lose interest, and are back down the pub.

I live on a scheme, and it happens all the time, if the girl's lucky, she gets out before getting pregnant again.
