[NotAQueef]

Anyone watching tonight?
Couldn't find a thread.
Like this couple so far

Crying my eyes out watching the shoulder dystocia again... Was pregnant when I saw it first time round and I remember my ante natal yoga class the following night was v subdued, we were all traumatised!!!

I remember watching her last time with my heart in my mouth. So scary.

I thought I recognised her. Poor woman.

Oh god yes I remember that one- I think I was holding my breath the whole time, and I just sobbed with relief when it was all ok. So glad to see they are having another- poor mum must be so nervous though!

I'd love to see Lara now! Did I hear them say they had to pull the arm first? Would that have damaged her arm?

BleUgh! [squeamish]

Seeing that first cut makes my tummy feel funny, no matter how many sections I go to, that first knife to skin always makes me wobble

Fuck, that shoulder dystocia isn't any easier to watch second time round...

How sad to give birth on your own. Surely they could have asked a neighbour, nursery mum? Anyone would do it , I have in the past.

That aside, I don't like her, she's a bit of a prat.

I think the doc broke the baby's clavicle to get her out.

Lozario, they had to break something, arm/shoulder to get the baby out. Was very dramatic first time round.

Are epidurals standard in America? American woman seemed like she expected one regardless.

I remember the feeling of the epidural drugs going in. It felt like someone had tipped a bowl of warm washing up water in my lap

Yes. If you watch OBEM USA. It is standard to have an epidural & synotocin (sp) drip.

Feel completely numb inside now after seeing that again.

Can feel a sleepless night coming on with all the memories of DD's birth coming back. :(

Really love Butlins couple

Oh pigley

"How sad to give birth on your own"

I've done it. It was actually very nice.

Wow American woman genuinely seems confused as to why more people don't just stroll in and ask for epidurals right away!

It would have made very interesting tv if the anaesthetist had been too busy to fit the American woman in

The American woman is irritating me too but I can't put my finger on why.

Isnt the Epidural rate something like 90% ? So probably just thought as the norm ?

Why are neither of them moving about ? Gah - worst way to give birth flat on your back!

I would have loved a water birth. Instead I was strapped to the bed on a drip and then whisked to theatre.

Wonder if she chose an epidural so she could have a days peace before going back home.
