Midwives is on

[Pickles77]

Evening ladies.. Are we gathering for our midwives fix? I'm dying for some sleep but don't want to miss it

I actually didn't mind being on the ward with other women. It's quite nice to have the company outside of visiting hours. Admittedly nights aren't much fun though :o

:( I think I might have to switch off, I'm 17weeks pregnant.

Ah I see, I was born in Liverpool - Fazackerly in 1972, Arrowe Park opened in 1982 :)

oh i see your point,my last just me,babe and friend the private room was a god send

good luck with your impending birth

We are vintage Pat!

I'm here dp is even watching it
He now thinks the hospital I'm going has private rooms - he is going to be disappointed!

We are indeed Merrily ...old is gold haha!

Thank you. I'm in tears at this every week!

I was exactly the same as the woman with 4 children in that I was so looking forward to my mini-break when I had dc3. Was so pissed off when they chucked me out after 24 hours after 3rd c-section. The midwife in Bath didn't see the funny side of my request for a mini break.

The midwifes in this episode seem lovely.

DP has said they not showing the 20week pregnancy. So it's safe to watch for now.

Pickles - how many weeks are you?

I'm 35+4 I think

My mum was Claire- I was born at 30 weeks @ 3lbs

poor claire

How exicting Pickles - I love newborn babies.

Oh that baby is sooo tiny.

My middle child was in NICU but at 7.5lbs was twice the size of most of the babies

Poor Claire hope she's okay

Poor Claire indeed - I was sooo sick after all my c-sections.

Poor Claire.

Yes thank you mrsCB I'd be excited if I could shrug off the sickness & UTI. And if she would move her head slightly off
My bladder it would be fab!

They do love a nice comfy bladder don't they?

Poor Claire. I puked and puked and thought it would never stop after my CS. Horrible.

Ohh you're due just before me Pickles, I'm 35+2 . Mine's still got her feet in my bladder, though...

Hope you feel better soon :)

I had DD at this hospital - the private rooms are a nice idea, but it gets lonely after a while! And the food is appalling. Care is hit and miss...

Looking forward to watching on iPlayer later this evening - am currently booked to have DC2 there but feeling uneasy about it after DD, who knows this show may seal the deal one way or the other!!!

Ditto, MrsCB - DD was 8.1lbs and could be picked up, I think the NICU nurses were secretly quite happy to have a baby they could cuddle and interact with. Must make a relief for them from all the very poorly babies they have there.

Ooo hetty are you on the sept thread? I re found it today .
Ewww hospital food.
Hollys make up stays very intact!
