New series of OBEM

[Dillydollydaydream]

There's a new series of One Born Every Minute starting 24th February.

I was heavily pregnant last time it was on so I'm looking forward to watching knowing I don't have to give birth this time!

OBEM

squirming at the first couple and their fucking posh cars. piss off no one cares.

the other 2 couples are fab tho. really hope he makes it in time. my DP missed DS's birth by less than 5 minutes. It probably shouldn't matter but I was devastated at the time. couldn't stop sobbing and telling him I was sorry which really marred an otherwise happy occasion (actual birth was great, quick, no pain relief out in one push!)

My dp refuses to watch it too. He tells me to turn it over whenever it comes on. I dread to think how he's going to cope when it's our turn.

So does anyone know any of the Mums taking part in this Series? I'm sure that there was a MNetter who was filmed for the previous series who shared her experience and joined in the discussion (I hope I've not made that up) I'm might have had a major memory fail though. Anyway, it made it more exciting

But did anyone know that Dad 1 has lots of flash cars???

Oh poor dad :(

oh bless him.

At least they knew Michelle was at risk this time around. It looks very calm despite the blood loss (only had sections so I'm not familiar with a PPH procedure).

Did he OS?

She is never going to live that one down

Oh he missed it. There was a lot of blood!

Gosh! So is it quite rare to haemorrhage like that after a birth?

My Dh is the opposite. He's just said "a natural birth would be nice this time wouldn't it?" Yes dear, but it's a bit easier for you to say that than me. I was the one who pushed for bloody hours last time and then got rushed to surgery.

Fia, fairly rare - more common with c-sections.

Sorry, just flitting in at the end of the episode to say

HE ATE THE TOAST!

He missed the birth and then ate the toast they brought her :o

No-one here to shout it at, hope you don't mind. Anyone attempting to touch my post-birth toast would have been in immediate mortal peril...

The midwife did say she brought tea and toast for two, to be fair to him!

I haemorraged after ds2. I wasn't really aware of the trauma, was in a bit of a daze, but DH said afterwards it was horrific.

No lasting problem. I had to stay horizontal for quite a few hours after the birth, and was a bit anaemic, but that was it.

It was very gushy though - bit horror movie like!!! Looked much worse than it felt!

gutted for him to miss the birth and then to come into that scene! He was great though so calm and seemed so supportive in the lead up!

Thank you The Science

I was wondering if the haemorraging was related to speed of labour. My labour with ds was incredibly quick (10-15 mins).

Bee sounds awful. I can imagine how shocking and scary it must appear.

Maybe it explains why DH refuses to watch OBEM

Ah, thanks TheScience, I missed that. Was probably too busy shouting.

My first labour was slow and I lost about 900ml (although no-one said at the time and I didn't notice!), second labour was v fast and no blood loss. Only found out I'd has pph when booking in for my second pregnancy

Just watching on catch up I had a small
PPH with DS and a worse one with DD I don't remember much just being given oxygen and feeling quite odd. I wasn't allowed out of bed either and has to have a bed bath! DH said he thought I was a goner when the midwife pressed the call button and they all came stampeding down the corridor!

HE ATE THE TOAST!

What?!?! Noooooooo. Surely no wise man would ever eat the toast?

DP ate the toast as I was waiting to go into theatre for third degree repair. I hadn't eaten in ten hours and had to lie there watching him eat the toast!! I was having lovely skin-to-skin with newborn DS though so didn't mind too much

I didn't even get toast!

I love OBEM... Makes me want to have another baby. Dangerous because I really can't!

Didn't the MW say she done toast for two!
