I think so. But am not 100% sure I can be bothered. And I used to love it. Don't think its been as good this time

I used to love it but think that this series has been long and slow. They could have done less episodes and more action I think Grin fed up of no babies until 9:50pm! comment from obviously childless person

i'm here. will watch it. will get cross with it. will shout 'GET HER OFF THE BLOODY BED'. will get exasperated with silly men and furious with the clips of midwives sitting around gossiping and eating cake. my bloody pressure will go through the roof and i forsee much Wine will be needed.

THIS might soothe me a bit.

It is on. I will watch it although I have not really been enjoying this series and I don't even really know why I don't like it as much, its boring me. Used to love the previous series though.

I thought last week's episode was rather good.

Different positions, a baby in the first 20 minutes or so, and a bit less of the old 'on yer back, epidural in' that the rest of the series seems to have been (with the exception of the lovely Disneys)

Made me wonder if they'd hurriedly re-edited to show a bit more of the sort of thing we've come to love about OBEM of if it was a one-off for this series.

And before someone comes along and says 'we don't all have the choice of being off the bed' - no, women don't and sometimes it's the only appropriate place but come on, the proportion of women in this series who are on their backs with CFM and other interventions is seriously high compared to past series (which were filmed elsewhere)

I'll be watching. It's one of the only time dp goes to bed and I get to pig out on the sofa and watch tv.

TheFirstMrsGClooney · 14/03/2012 20:55

Aye, I'll be watching too... Mainly in the vain hope it will encourage DC3 to make an appearance - 40+6 and counting Sad
