Anyone else watching?

I have forceps fear.

isn anyone else wincing at the sight of that poor girl's skin?
that must be sore surely?

Can't stand the thought of an epistiotimy, I'd almost rather have a c section.

Right i'm back. Anyone around?

I though her skin looked really sore. I wondered whether she had PCOS.

Knives don't mix with perineal areas, yikes! My OH is squeamish about cutting the cord so I'm glad he's at work

If they say forceps can you say no I'd rather have a c section? Honestly I'm so so scared of forceps!!!

In all the time I've watched this programme I don't think I've ever seen a baby born by ventouse; it always seems to be forceps. Does anyone know why this is? I'd be interested to see one because that's how my ds was born.

And I think it's too late for a csection once you're at the pushing stage - the baby's too far down. To have a section at that point would involve pushing baby back up first

Oh bugger - I don't have the same fear of ventouse

Yes I really felt for her with her skin. I've had shocking spots all my life, and the one time it eased off was when pregnant. Mind you, that was about the only bit of my body that did improve with pregnancy!

Did they say what Sophie's baby weighed?

Was it just me or were they all very cute babies this week?

Yes to a lot of blood though according to dh that's nothing compared to when I had a PPH

How did she not cry when he said he didn't need a piece of paper to say ' he liked her and wanted to spend most of his life with her'?? Incidentally in my BiL wedding speech he said 'Hopefully well spend the rest of our lives together' brideZilla was unimpressed

The babies were gorgeous but the whole episode was tinged with sadness.

They tried a ventouse on me just before my section. Perhaps it depends on the hospital.
