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.

Beth and Cap boy.

They just seemed like a normal young couple to me. Comments about her being fat, him being a nob, them being on Jeremy Kyle for a DNA test next etc etc.

People are such bloody snobs.

pfft

We didn't see him ask about his partner or baby GetHerOff, but he may well have done. We must see a fraction of what is actually filmed.

I have to admit to being relieved that Beth's mum seemed so calm and controlled though. She'll hopefully be helping them out.

I have not found this programme interesting, in the past but i may do so now after discovering this thread. [giggles]

Sorry MrsDV, but that just made me (and DP) laugh out loud. I hope he's not still a twit

netto course there are tons of gits like that out there. But we cant tell from this programe what he will be like really can we?
Any of the Dads could be wife beating pyschos and we wouldnt know unless they said 'i am a wife beating pyscho'.

My least favourite dad was that policeman in the very first series, prog 1. So I suppose I am just as liable to judge

Oh I missed the thread can I join next week?

I dont think the army family woman (can't remember name) had an epidural because she could feel the pressure, pain and was using gas and air. Wasn't she lying down because of the clip on the baby?

I can't wait for next weeks!! I hope my baby is here before then though as I found it quite tough watching tonight.

atruth nah he is all sensible now.
That was 20 years and 5 DCs ago

By golly he was a right twonk in those days though.

It seemed a lot less 'fly on the wall' than it used to be, Acting up to the cameras by Midwives and parents.

Yes he was and the woman was odd and havig your 19 year old DS in the room with you ewwwwwww.

frilly I watched series one pg and it terrified me!
I SO enjoyed series two because I wasnt pregnant AND had a little baby so wasnt quite at the yearning stage yet

she did have an epidural - you could see the filter bit on her shoulder. just not working particularly well maybe.

Right, I'm off to bed and to gaze adoringly at LO after getting teary at tonight's programme

See you next week ladies

I agree with you netto.

no broodiness here - crossing legs at thought of 10 pounder.

i'm not saying kurt's as much of an arse as the wall punching suggests, but if she wants her mother rather than her partner when in alarming situations (and i do understand why, her mother seemed very reassuring) they are going to have a tough time with the stress of a newborn, i'd say.

yo netty :)

Nobody needs to punch walls

Some people - particularly some young people - struggle to control frustration and anger. No it's not pretty to see. No I wouldn't want him in Delivery with me like that BUT - he apologised for his reaction, he didn't punch people (walls not great but better than the mil etc) he came back and he calmed down. He's obviously very young and I do think this relationship has the odds against it but I can see why he was flipping out. Young, scared, realised he was missing the birth, felt totally out of control - recipe for disaster unfortunately.

Personally it looked like attention seeking to me. Gradually escalating behaviour until everyone is drawn into looking after/dealing with the person throwing the tantrum.

I'm sure there are valid reasons for his behaviour - but I get panicky and upset being around people like that. I'm not sure they can be trusted to control themselves when they really need to.

Hmmm just been thinking about the dates again though. If hat boy couple was meant to be January - it didn't LOOK like January! Wasn't the whole of the uk covered in snow with sub zero temperatures?

Just a-wondering

The hat boy couple must have been Jan 2010. He was keeping up with the Leeds Vs Man Utd game when Leeds won. So had to be Jan 2010 or Feb 2004.
