Your weekly OBEM reminder

[BarnYardCow]

Evening all! Anyone around for tonights episode? Hope you are all in the warm, snuggled up!

[TandB]

Who is she talking to? Is she saying she can't send a midwife at all, or that she can't send a second one?

[pegster]

No second midwife I think?

[StarlightMcKenzie]

Poor woman.

[TandB]

Looks like none at all.

In our area there's no overlap between the hospital and homebirth midwives. The homebirth team only do homebirths and clinics, no hospital births at all.

all going ok thanks, but had a bit of a stressful day today - got really upset about impending snowfall (I live on a street that is really treacherous in the snow/ice) and it sent my BP/heartrate up so been in hospital on monitor - all ok now though thankfully

Kungfu thanks for encouraging words - your HB sounds lovely and that's really what I would hope for too

[NoelHeadbands]

I'm GUTTED for her, poor lass

[ohmeohmy]

Not bloody alright

[recall]

NO !?!

[MoottonBun]

She's completely alone :(

[StarlightMcKenzie]

That is NOT how to begin a Homebirth!

[recall]

This is sad

[pegster]

Poor woman, entirely on her own & now looking likely she can't have the birth she wanted

[StarlightMcKenzie]

Poor GD woman blaming herself. I ate crap and didn't get GD.

[IAmLouisWalsh]

Erm, surely the bloody film crew could give her a lift?

[viagrafalls]

just joined the thread, feel so bad for her and would go if I could

[ImpatientOne]

For home birth lady

[ImKateandsoismywife]

Bless her I so hope she gets her homebirth

[pegster]

Ooh, bringing back unpleasant memories of my induction, not nice at all

[TandB]

Oh poor thing. I would have gone and held her hand and repeated my two dozen words of Latvian over and over in a soothing manner.

"There there. I speak a little Latvian but my accent and grammar are quite bad. Can you tell me the way to the museum? Can I have milk and sugar with that please."

[StarlightMcKenzie]

Don't they just phone up and get on call mw? For hb if she insisted

[recall]

[sailorsgal]

I feel sorry for her having to go in. Are they just then going to send her home again.

[Yama]

Poor Alexandra. Just wish she had some family around her.
