One Born Every Minute

[FiveGoMadInDorset]

Channel 4 tonight, featuring a lovely young couple from our village.

the dad hasn't given any encouragement to the mum at all just sees it all as a laugh

I almost insisted on walking to SBCU 1 hour after having DS, eventually agreed to a wheelchair, DH went straight after about 15 mins though. It's so hard when you know something is wrong.

I held Ds2 very briefly when he was born, but the girls were taken straight off, I never saw or held them straight away

Lisa is fantastic - coping so, so well... I'd be a bloody wreck

aahhh 'Steve' is awful, why is he smirking

she's got the measure of him

Baby's heartrate

god that's a slow heartbeat isn't it?

That's a very slow heartbeat..

He has not given her one nice word of encouragement.

The intestines outside the body for some time - usually not enough room for them to go back until skin is stretched.

Push come on push

why is that woman not pushing?

Come on tracey you can do it

Heartbeat's getting very slow

Father AND son peering round to look?!

Oh I'm terrified, baby's heartrate is so slow come PUUUUUUUUSH

Oh God this it like the point (after 3.5 hours pushing) that I was being threatened with a drip to boost my contractions and get DS out. There's nothing like an incentive. It's bringing back memories now.

I'm holding my breath

OMG the heartbeat is so slow...

I wasn't sure if DS was yawning or gagging
