Call the Midwife.

[Toddlerteaplease]

What is going on with Mother Mildreds make up?

I think CTM has put my ddsoff having babies I still remember Dds face when a womb fell out was early series it was a bit graphic 😁

My grandson wS 5 or 6 watching a Christmas special, one of the earlier ones. After a particularly difficult birth he said 'Well I'm never going to do that!'. We assured him he would never have to.

HA bless him

I got the ectopic.

From the pain in the shoulder? 😂

Shoulder pain can be a sign of ectopic pregnancy.

Soup yes. Not that this programme is predictable or anything...

Shoulder pain can be a sign of ectopic pregnancy.

I know. That's the point.

I'm virtually a lead consultant due to my training on Casualty, Holby City and Call the Midwife.

I thought it was her gall bladder i would be rubbish in Holby

You need to watch more crap medical dramas. I'm hoping for a qualification in fake forensic investigation after this season of Silent Witness.

I thought the 😂 was because the idea of shoulder pain being a symptom was laughable.

I've just watched and got ectopic immediately too. Though I'm not too up on the far reaching effect of gonorrhea and didn't know it could cause joint pain, so I looked it up. Not going lie, I wish I hadn't.

Is anyone else finding this series really boring so far (including the Christmas episode)? Or is it just me? I normally love it. 😔

A bit dull. Love Fred & Violet but little dull.

It does seem to have lost its sparkle a bit. The different stories are not as well woven into a satisfying whole programme.

I wonder if they just need some new ideas, though they have covered just about every birth issue possible by now!

I think it's become a bit 'write an episode by conditions' now.

I suppose there needs to be more diseases/conditions/social problems now as the birth rate had dropped by this time due to the pill and there are fewer people left in the slum housing.

And more people giving birth in hospital by now too.

Maybe they should focus on the district nursing aspect more - lots of potential for fresh material there.

I'm still liking it; but feel it's definitely drifted too much away from the midwives and the women of Poplar and far to much into marvellous doctor territory.

Think we were more involved in the midwives' lives before too, I don't feel as if I really know them now.

The midwives at the moment dont seem to have lives outside their work but they must do maybe it would take up Dr turner s reen time if they had outside stories

I agree that the midwives lives seem to be very much on 'pause' which doesn't really fit in with the era they're now in.

I love Call the Midwife.

Only now, as others have said, it is very much Call Dr Turner.

And I don’t love that.

Unfortunately Dr rubbish turner won’t be going anywhere

I could do with seeing less of Dr Gurning Turner and his simpering wife. But I think we are stuck with them.
