Downton Abbey Discussion continued...

[ErikNorseman]

Here!

My non catholic mother had to convert or agree to bring children up as catholics even in 1960's.Tom would have to have baby baptised catholic oer he would be in breach of his faith,for want of better phrase.
Loved Downton tonight,despite my tears!

Mary is doing my nut in, she is just stomping around the place trying to police everyone.

I think given a death occured Mathew and the Lawyer could have taken their conversation outside (stroll) to ensure fulll privacy, or at the very least have kept an eye on the door.

Slightly it looks like the baby will be called Sybil.

Yep.i am RC, dh is not.
Dh had to promised raise the children as RC.

Oops...

DP reckons pickle will do a runner with the baby.

The baby is called Sybil. It was in the trailer.

And my DH had to sign in 1997. And people marrying Catholics have to sign today. I can't see that ever changing.

God that was heartbreaking. She was my favourite

Thats what I think wannabe

I just cant see the baby being wound into the story really.

Unless they get a hot nanny a la Friends :o

Oooh that was a good episode!

My sister had a DD this morning and that made me a bit teary

Poor Pickle and little Picalilli in the window at the end.

Picle can't do a runner, who will feed the baby, baby Sybil needs a wet nurse.

thE CHUrch of Ireland church near me is stuffed full of 'mixed' couples who refuse to be told how to raise their kids. I don't know how to spell it but it's called the nei temerei

He ownt care - he is a hothead.

Jim (new Butler) might start flirting witht he kitchen maid in order to throw Thomas off. This will drive Daisy mad.

blood pressure would have been sky high,causing the fits and death.
Still dangerous today.
I nearly died at DC4's birth following massive haemmorrhage,death in childbirth still occurs,unfortunately

Ds has said I need a new mumsnet name now Why on earth did no one do anything? I also through that pre eclampsia was 'healed' once the baby had been delivered?

Well it's not something that's really enforceable in this day and age and probably wasn't enforcable in England ever, living in Ireland in the 20s however would have been a different matter.

Or Mary and Matthew will bring it up as theirs?

But then that can they conceive storyline would become a bit insignificant.

Eclampsia and pre-eclampsia are still little understood in real terms.

Once you move from pre-eclampsia to full blown fitting (eclampsia), there is absolutely no treatment. The same is true today.

MIL went for her 31wk appointment when pg with DH and ended up being bluelighted to London and having an emcs at St Thomas'. FIL was told to expect to lose both of them. She was severely ill and probably less than an hour away from developing full blown eclampsia.

Church of reland is Protestant isn't it?

Yes, your name is now in bad taste, sorry. Poor, poor Sybil and poor Tom.

Not enforcable by law obviously but Catholic church very good at guilt trips
