5 * Babies Inside The Portland Hospital BBC 2 9pm (wed)

[seasidesally]

Really looking forward to this,anybody else ??

Sorry, who are that couple? (5 minutes behind!)

I imagine they must do DorothyL. Seems extreme!!

£250,000 to have a baby!!

The American couple CakeNinja? He works in the American embassy in Morocco - well they move around the world.

I can't imagine how often the staff must have to bite their tongues when dealing with some of the 'entitled' patients...

I know 2 people who have had babies there. One paid, the other was sent there after the london nhs hospital she was booked into was too busy and short staffed to perform her caesarean - what luck!!

Thanks Making, did I hear right that they've paid for the entire family to live in Kensington for months aswell?! Crikey.

"Nick and wife Kinga have finally gone into labour"

(I'm watching a bit behind)

That american guy is really annoying me about the pain relief. He isn't the one doing it so it's not upto him. Reminds me of Sam faiers manchild Paul.

I wonder who the VIPs are

Farking hell, American husband is getting on my tits just via the tv

I think they are arab royalty - going on the display of dates!!

The compression stockings are still as ugly!

Yes CakeNinja, they've been living in Kensington for two months!! All paid for - something else!!

I like Kinga...sod the tea and scones, where's the whisky.

I think the footballer might be Rooney

Do the Rooneys have a daughter?

Ah missed that bit so not them then

No I think they only have boys. And I'm pretty sure the last one at least was born at the Liverpool Women's.

I loved Kinga, she was great. I think the husband let her down a bit saying it was silly not to use the pain relief on offer... It's great to have it (I did!) but she didn't want it, and he could've supported her a bit

Only managed to watch last 20 mins. Will have to watch on catch up.

I watched this last week and found it infuriating.

Yes, of course I know programmes like this are edited to deliver a certain message.

I just hate that money buys you privilege in a life/death situation like childbirth. And some of the participants just seemed so fucking clueless about life in the real world. I don't find it sad that someone is worried about her "belly" and losing her filthy rich man because of it. I find her extremely stupid for buying in to that whole world. Stupid and certainly not fit for the job of having a baby.

Gah! Tax the rich, I say

Someone actually mentioned skin to skin! First time.

I thought the fact they let them redecorate bloody ridiculous. Why can't people tell rich, pampered spoilt adults NO. You are in for a few nights, having a baby, not designing a room for an interiors magazine. The people who wanted 4 rooms for staff and visitors and the baby were ridiculous. VIP or not. Get a grip, you don't need a nursery when you are in for about 3 nights.

I'd love to know who the VIPs were.

Pat seemed disapproving again. Saying they were more concerned with their staff/maternity nurse than the baby. But then a lot,of them do come across like that. They definitely said Pat was looking after 6 babies.

Gah! Tax the rich, I say

Says the woman who's deliberating over which million pound house to buy

Sorry, couldn't resist...

I was pleased that the English couple had a better birth this time,she seemed young for her age.

The pregnant staff member seemed very tired.

Presidents daughter, which country? Which footballers WAG?

If I'd been one of the patients "bumped up/down" to the paediatric floor to make way for some VIP or VVIP (!!), I'd have been seriously unimpressed!!!
