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

[seasidesally]

Really looking forward to this,anybody else ??

Who orders soup and curry anyway?

Yes, Huy's husband runs a company in China and lives there. He 'jetted in' for the birth.

I don't like seeing all those babies away from their mums

The nanny cooks and cleans? I thought they were just for childcare?

So glad that she got the birth she wanted. And she kept her baby with her. I'm liking her.

I like Pat, who looks after the babies.

Yeah the maternity nurse stealing smiles

Also laughing when they said "silver service dining", imagining a poor minion two-spooning peas onto plates while women labour (I think they meant fine dining)

eek! That Chinese woman.

Is she also the first breastfeeder?

Oh that was sad, poor new mum worried about her husband finding someone else. So insecure

You can imagine the Chinese Mum having a nanny thread on here!

Yes she seems much more confident and happier. Maybe because it's her second though.

Those poor men stuck with their fat wives with stretch marks

Ooh she sacked the nanny! Bet she did an AIBU about it.

Poor baby Lucas.

Oh god NEXT TIME?? There's more?

Huys baby (Lucas ?) is gorgeous

Is Pat on her own looking after all the babies? You'd think when they're charging that much, you'd get more than one Pat.

'Baby Lucas is now on his second Nanny'...

...because the first one got pissed off with being treated like a skivvy.

Especially that gorgeous curry eating bloke...

If that's what kind of relationship and birth money give you im thankful we ate skint!

7 years down the line and I still struggle with the fact that DD spent her first few nights away from me and in special baby care. At the Portland, it's expected they will send them to the nursery .

I get needing some sleep, the midwives took DS to let me sleep for a bit. Do you think the programme is edited to make them all look rather cold and unfeeling?

Or the nanny walked out?

Only caught the last 20 minutes, found the whole thing incredibly depressing.

We were visiting my new niece last night in an NHS hospital and there was a ward with three new mums, all their babies and assorted relatives. It was hot and noisy but cosy and so joyful. I think that is what's missing at the Portland.

Baby Lucas is beautiful. I thought his mum was a vacuous idiot at first, but she just seems very insecure and lonely and quite detatched now. Someone probably needs to keep an eye on her.
