One Born Every Minute - Weds 1/2/2012

[HepHep]

Who is watching tonight? I'm quite excited No chocolate here though. Forgot to get some, bugger.

I had gas and air with an examination.

I could have done with gas and air for breastfeeding.

I have been offered gas and air when ive had the initial VE.

I didnt take it the first time thinking 'why would that hurt'?

It hurts why wouldnt they offer G&A?

I see already lots of patronising comments about her finding the VE painful!

Oh is there two blinds apols, then

Blonds, bloody ipad

Methadone?!?

Methadone? haha

VE/ having waters broken was worst part of whole event for me.

Managed the rest very quietly and fairly calmly.

She doesn't even know about pain relief! Did she not go to classes?

The 17 year old girl really is as rough as they come- I am from Leeds, but her accent is so broad it's barely English!

Did they explain why the other one was having ARM?

I thought it was the same on bigeyes but I think this is the first time we have seen her do the talky bits when they have time to do hair and make up

She is being lovely today :)

What's this diamorphene stuff then? That's not an epidural is it?

I found the VE more painful than ANYTHING else, even the recovery from my lovely Kiellands forceps delivery with ultra episiotomy. Found contractions a breeze in comparison...

blonde in previous episode got a bit of a bad rep because of the way she spoke to the women..

Why? Diamorph's more likely to make you sick and if it does, you can't take it away!

Amber sorry i was never offered gas and air with any of mine didnt know it was available.. I had a russian shot putter for one of mine as well she had hands like shovels and it bloody hurt. Not all of them did but she did.. ouchy

I'm another who finds ves worse than labour.

I was a bit shocked cos I think she looks about 14! just listening to her talk about having a baby being 'the fashion' and something that people her age just do these days, that made me :(

VE was awful for me, I started babbling that I wanted to go home and turned into a nutcase:(. Hurt SO much! Not G&A offered though..

Stranded - I wasn't that much older. I'm not saying "poor kid" as any sort of judgement. I suppose I'm :( because I think it's going to be hard for her. Having had kids when very young and then having had kids when I was relatively old, I think it was easier being older. I needed that maturity.

My sis is having her first baby in a few weeks and I've had to trick her into attending classes. She's young although not as young as this girl

woohoo diamophine, it's so dreamy
