Shiny new OBEM thread!

[sittinghippo]

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

Just switched on, hello all, can only watch this with utter fascination and respect as know I'm booked for section, too scared to watch before.

err yes..

Rhetorican I get that impression too compared to the othe hospital were there is a much more positve atmosphere.

How come they all have private rooms?

OOh Max Beesley.

I thought you always got a private room once you were in established labor?

I don't think childbirth is the worst pain of your life. It's not comparable to any other pain really.

I feel sorry for her not progressing. It's heartbreaking to hear that!

I have a 3 week old asleep upstairs but watching obem and I want to to do it all again, for a 4th time Will this madness ever end?

did you not have a private room to give birth in scarlet? I thought everyone did

haha LOVE the aldi ad

just the 'labour is horrible and it's going to get worse' comment, and the 'disheartening' comment...positivity from those who've seen it all before helps a lot especially if you don't know what is going to happen, or, like the blonde lady, you had a shit time last time around

(I'm in Ireland, sorry, not sure how the NHS works!)

I heard from a friend of a friend that works at LGI that they had 3 new delivery suites built with wall mounted camera especially for OBEM

My mw was about to send me home until I had a meltdown in front of another who agreed to put a monitor on me. One hour later i was in recovery after an emer section.

Get off the bed lady not in established labour.

dd1 was possibly the worst pain I've ever had but dd2 I could do again right now, no problem

Worst pain in your life? Obviously no experience of kidney stones/broken legs, whatever. Useless.

So the woman scored on 10 out of 10 according to the twatty-bloke. Useless.

Oh he's a prat and no mistake! Play a game?!

Sean Ryder happy Mondaysish

this lady on her second baby needs to MOVE around.

I'd sooner go through labour again than any dental pain ouryve

Hey can I join? Didn't know there was a bunch of OBEM lovers hanging out on MN :)

Hope Mrs Disney has packed some flat shoes to walk home in :o

Look did you see that head ??????
OMG

Why the cem?

(I'm pregnant on first)

I thought there was sort of a ward where you did early labour and then were moved into a delivery suite from there!!! DOH!!

I see now that is silly!

I thought you weren't allowed off the bed if they were monitoring you?

Once they put that thing round my tummy I was told I wasn't allowed to move o
