Am rather looking forward to seeing the home made bikini for the 'relaxing zen' birth...

Awww beautiful baby girl

StuckInTheFensAwayFromHome · 11/01/2012 21:36

First time I've watched this programme and I'm blubbing as much as the dad!

NotnOtter · 11/01/2012 21:36

lots of editing - we are left with NO IDEA about the timescale of these labours

AvonCallingBarksdale · 11/01/2012 21:36

Right, found the thread! Despite guffawing a bit at Disney couple at the start, I well and truly take my hat of to her in that pool. Big respect, HEather! And, looking back, yes my ante-natal classes did focus a lot on pain relief. Wish either of my birth experiences had been like hers Envy

ImpatientOne · 11/01/2012 21:37

Agreed Jambalaya although not sure I'll be needing a midwife as DH only watched the opening credits and said he didn't want to DTD tonight as babies are all slimy....

TisMeMrsDB · 11/01/2012 21:37

I love OBEM.

I spend my Wednesday nights sobbing for an hour.

Disney girl was amazing. With my DD my midwife shouted at me because I couldn't stop giggling.

SlinkyB · 11/01/2012 21:37

That water birth was amazing. Remember one from last season where a young, slim, pretty woman came in, slipped into the pool and casually slipped a baby out - they make it look so easy!

ShowOfHands · 11/01/2012 21:37

What a lucky woman. Beautiful birth.

Women are really quite fab.

Blimey she was amazing!

Sparklingbrook · 11/01/2012 21:38

Let her shout FGS.

TisMeMrsDB · 11/01/2012 21:38

Poor Kerry. Sad

bringmesunshine2009 · 11/01/2012 21:38

Well respect to her, was predicting her ripping off the outfit and screaming for the drugs but no, a brave lady indeed. He was so supportive which must have helped I reckon. The newborn was so calm and collected, I am SO insisting on the whole water birth thing next time.

NeverKnowinglyUnderstood · 11/01/2012 21:38

oh god I am crying so much. that was a gorgeous birth

Chubfuddler · 11/01/2012 21:38

God this woman is annoying. Stop screaming. Not helping.

NotnOtter · 11/01/2012 21:38

kerry should have had epidural

scarletforya · 11/01/2012 21:38

I wish she'd just let her shout FFS.

SlinkyB · 11/01/2012 21:39

Think Kerry should grab a bikini and jump in that pool.

KateUnrulyBush · 11/01/2012 21:39

Oh Kerry :( Does the mw shouting at her really help???
