Midwives

[Pickles77]

Evening all, well it's on and I'm shocked!!

I'm in bed watching, quite shocked too!

Evening.

what are shocked about? I'm a few mins back a bit as I was finishing my chicken sandwich before I watched.

Very shocked!

I love this series.

Yep I'm here too, think I might find this one a bit upsetting.

I find pretty much everything upsetting at the moment, but still :)

Just people not having a clue, and a women home from hospital less than twelve hours going missing with a baby. And the conditions some people live in, it's so sad
It's making me appreciate everything I have though

It is very sad.

I also appreciate everything I've got.

I am so grateful for all the help my midwife GP HV and sure start help im getting.
One actually said to me, it was nice to see someone appreciate extra help and support not feel it was a burden

I'm not sure about that midwife Di, laughing about the missing lady?

I haven't seen anything that's shocked me yet sadly.

Commentary is rather annoying too

I think its utter frustration.

What has that midwife got against swaddling? Didn't know it was a bad thing these days.

I think that's a nervous laugh. You must need a defense mechanism to cope with that.

Is swaddling bad?

God that midwife is annoying me. Sorry most cotdeaths are nto caused by safe co-sleeping - ggrrrrrr.

i'm not liking her much - imagine the worst thing about finding your patient being evicted as how to get on with your day

poor editing..i hope so

Budge over ladies me and bump are here too! Thought baby would be here by now but it seems not!

Feeling very sad for some of the conditions for these ladies and babies.

swaddling

What conditions? seen nothing terrible there, fair enough the overnight bottle was bad.

When you work in certain area's laughing is often a way of dealing with that stress- it doesn't actually mean you think the situation is stressful. Unfortunatly I have not seen anything at all shocking as yet.

I get the over heating thing but she just sounds stupid. Sleeping on a sofa is so not the same as safe co-sleeping. And no mention of the impact of smoking on SIDS. Just scare-mongering.

I am so glad I had more enlightened midwifes and HV's

Right just logged on to work out the problem with swaddling?

Been watching every week but just wondering why is swaddling so bad? My mw recommended it with DD and it helped her sleep perfectly and was planning doing it again this time round

Oh no signet how far are you along now?

Swaddling is ok if you are aware of the risks that overheating can cause. i think with all the other risk factors with some of these families they maybe prefer to advise against.
