The Midwives: Tonight BBC1 9pm

[TaggieMandevilleBlack]

Anyone planning to see if BBC can be better for the blood pressure than OBEM?

lem done

It's my bloody mother's fault!!! She told me it was on and I should watch it!!!!! she knows I won't watch OBEM...this seems to be x10 times worse!!

I'm going to ring her at 10pm and tell her she's frightened the bloody hell out of me! (plus haven't felt my baby move now for 30 mins...even she's bloody frightened!!!)

Thanks guys, it's horrid I don't have faith in any of these MW apart from the forceps one!

Gas and air noise always reminds me of labour!

that midwife is like a blond jo brand

Shoplifting? Where?

Tango I thought exactly the same thing

Forceps would have been done by dr,obstetrician,not midwife.

I had 3 straightforward deliveries - but even so there were scary moment. Partly because I didn't know what to expect, partly because no matter how you look at it birth is physically stressful. The majority of labours are fine pickles and bluemoon, and ime most midwives are pretty good as well even under intense pressure.

Shcharlotte seems to be responding to midwife Jill's technique, but I understand that not everyone would.

The blonde midwife is the only one I'd run a mile from! The rest seem lovely.

Blond midwife is better in action than on the triage desk - they should keep her backstage!

Agree that her style is not for everyone, or for all situations though.

Awwww broody all over again

Ok she's redeeming herself here a bit!

actually i had a midwife similar to jill,her name also jill,

no nonsense women but i did warm to her

and im warming to this one

mine had no kids but the three dogs were her babys

Same here Orm. And there was meconium at the last minute and they lost her heartbeat completely. The room was flooded with paediatricians and midwives and it was several minutes before anyone even told us she was a girl (after she was breathing).

This blonde midwife is a nightmare!

Scary moment, he needs oxygen I think. My last 2 babies did.

i dont remember one of them units im my delivery suite,do all have them

All delivery suites have those tables for resuscitation. And home birth midwives carry oxygen to do same.

what a massive responsibility being a midwife,they must need nerves of steel

I think she is pretty good actually, the jo brand one. In control. Reassuring. And got the job done.

Much pinker now! Phew!
