OBEM new series starts tonight!

[HighwayDragon]

C4 tonight at 9pm. Anyone else watching? The new advert for it makes me smile every time.

Ohh twins! I love it.

Why did they swab her armpit?

checking for MRSA, Igloo

less than a minute between them. Scrummy little babies

Awwww gorgeous twins

Couldn't watch the slicing though

I had a ecs first time and vb the 2nd, give me a natural labour any day

I'm petrified that if when we have our next baby I'll have to have a cs

I'll be giving birth there in January, so watching for a nose more than anything.

I am so broody.

.

The twins were gorgeous!

her description of pnd bought me to tears

Awww highway the cs really wasn't that bad,I just hate being laid up, and recovery was so much longer.

Yes, me too, bless her.

God love her, that really did sound tough. Poor her and poor baby James. So good to see her get through it.

This programme gets me every time. I'm off to search under my old username to find threads that remind me what the first 4 months were like with DD2. Nip this broodiness in the bud.

Thanks tibbys. That was a fab first episode. I shall not get broody

Was it me or was one of those midwives really horrible to the girl who's father was mentally ill? She was really bossy and nasty

I didn't notice that at all, I think she has a quick birth. I got the impression she wasn't looking for support other than from her partner.

What was all that stuff that came out after the twins during the EMCS?? Looked like an organ but i'm pretty sure it came out of the womb. Made me feel sick either way. The surgeons are SO rough I can barely believe what I'm witnessing sometimes...

Looked like a placenta to me AmenGirl.

Last night's was sweet with all the mother-daughter relationships. Did not understand the situation with Craig though... Why couldn't they be together? Was it just his insecurities why she wouldn't live with him?

Craig was an alcoholic iirc

"The surgeons are SO rough I can barely believe what I'm witnessing sometimes..."

It is quite hard physical work doing a C section! I know, I've been the assistant surgeon at them!

You need to push muscles out of the way and then pull the baby out. It could be done more gracefully, I suppose, if you did a massive incision but that wouldn't be very good for the mother when it can be done with a surprisingly small scar.

Anyone catch last night's episode? [hopeful]

I watched it, its my favourite programme. [sick]

I did, though wish I hadn't, pregnant with dc3 and it scared me a bit.

My next door neighbour made a brief appearance...as a midwife! Love a bit of OBEM...

Last night's was really moving I thought, that couple with the severely disabled twins seemed so practical and strong together.
