The Midwives

[GrannyRat]

Ooh this is my local hospital - my DCs were born there.

Was "rich dad" not there for birth?

She freebirthed! Was that her plan all along?

Just looks awkward with the doula I guess - that must cause a few problems with who-does-what I imagine.

I'm crying now at the care bit

Anyway, if she didn't want the mws in the room, that's her choice. It happens quite a lot tbh!

I don't really want to say lots and get flamed, but it's to do with the poor women back at the hospital giving birth and possibly a midwife shortage. That's all.

Im from the West too fat but have family and friends all over the wirral, none of whom are chavs! Thing is, there are lovely parts and dives in most areas.

I understand sparkling.

This is so sad

Sparkling, I thought so too.

Thanks Pickles, I feel weird saying what I think.

I do hope that young mum is ok. I really hope she falls in love with her baby like she wants to.

They're community midwives. It's likely they only do homebirths. They won't be depriving anyone in the hospital.

Plus, they'll have been working all day and all night. Should they not be allowed a cup of tea, especially if the mum would prefer not to have a room full of people?

I grew up inner city with a big big cultural and financial divide. And a family member is a HCA on a maternity ward so gives a
Similar insight.
Glad this girl is more positive now

MrsDeVere was just about to say same. I will go to bed on a serious downer if she has it and says "....nah".

My midwives were in and out in a couple of hours. I don't think I deprived anyone of a midwife because I had a homebirth. I am not sure how that works

OOh I have just seen my mate, Linda (one of the midwives)

Patronising cow midwife

I'm not begrudging the MW a cup of tea. Just seems odd to have midwives and a doula and give birth without the midwives anyway.

I didn't know there were specific 'homebirth' midwives.

Anyone else think the boyf (can't remember his name) looks like Mackenzie Crook?

Do you have 2 mws for a home birth?

Agreed, Sparkling
Would probably get a total roasting for what I am thinking, so will keep my thoughts to myself

Not for the whole labour. Just for the birth bit.

What happened with the water birth couples baby? I came down to hear the midwife talking about an empty Moses basket

That sort of sounds like she asked for epidural and didn't get one?
