Looks like a brilliant programme - will make me cry with all preg hormone

aww poor gabriel. What a beautiful beautiful baby boy.

Am recording it - will bring back birth of DD at 29 weeks. Will keep large box of tissues handy. BTW she's a strapping 2.6 year old now!!

he will be ok won't he? I always get really emotional at stuff like this, especially since i've had my own babies. Poor little soul

I hope so. I think he will. This is really incredible. I forgot how red the stretchmarks look. Tears.. awww I am sooo emotional.

hows baby daisy. I remember your birth thread

Ooh, I'm feeling really traumatised by this! DD had meconium in her waters and cord wrapped around her neck, it makes you think about what could have happened

Get the baby out now

Oooooooooohhhh!

very scarey..

babyboo is lovely thanks...although she doesn't want to be put down today!

oooh, this c-section is bringing it all back...babyboo needed to be resuscitated apparently...i didn't find out till i was reading my notes afterwards

God, I think only 2.5 weeks from DD's birth is a bit too soon to be watching this. I'm glad I didn't watch it before though!

of course he will be ok, this is fight for life...
but edge of your seat. telly

yay.....well done arnab (sp?)

Oh, daisy, I didn't realise that. Is that common with a CS as they haven't had the fluid squeezed out by the birth canal? How scary.

Ooooh, can't watch...

I never realised how seriously meconium affects the baby.

awen...i hope you're not getting too upset and worried by this...these tings should be banned for pg women

when are you due?

I was watching the natural birth and talking about the risk and wondered how any body has a natural delivery, then I saw the section one with the cord

i didn't...now i can understand what all the panic is about if theres meconium in your waters

bumper - it is common for c-section babies to have lots of fluid due to it not being squeezed out, which I didn't know until AFTER I'd had my section and spent what felt like a lifetime holding my breath to hear her cry for the first time.

new years eve. Already have one born by emerg c-section. Complicated birth. Tbh I am getting a better understanding. (that will be the nurse in me i guess). Pretty sure gabriel will be ok as this is a programme about amazing survival.

someone give that girl a hug for godsake

Poor Faye - her dp doesnt seem to be much support but perhaps he is traumatised too.

missed your Q awen....shes absolutely fine...

this is heartbreaking for that poor young couple.
