One Born Every Minute

[FiveGoMadInDorset]

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

I'm glad to hear that Lisa and Will and babe are doing well, they are all lovely.

But I feel sorry for Tracey. She barely seemed to notice her husband's complete antipathy.

Five that's brilliant news, and so nice to know that they are doing well, rather than just wondering like you usually have to

Great news about Lisa's little boy.

Tracey's delivery looked a whole lot easier than I remember mine being. This gives me hope!

She is just like that in RL, worked in our local pub up until she was taken in aswell, was very calm throughout the whole pregnancy.

It what way didn't it show the midwives in a good light?

There were a few clips of them sitting down - but editted from hours of footage. And surely they do need some time to take a break and do admin?

Lisa was so lovely - she hadn't washed the baby blanksets for the cot! she did come acros as a lovely new mum, felt for her not seeing her baby and wanting to so much

Well I have just watched that in a blur of tears. Lol at your comments about the dickhead of a DH and yes why was their son there?
So aaaahh about the young couples baby boy She looked so scared but slightly relieved at the same time. Beautiful if you ask me
DH at the pub right now. I just texted and asked him if he would have his snip reversed? We have 5 ds's I won't repeat what he texted back

Sad that nobody said well done to that lady, or told her she was doing well.

She did a good job, she was in a lot of pain but nobody who was there encouraged her.

Just

Channel 4 website has crashed...

The woman in labour was generally ignored (editing might have made it this way) and then the comments about 'your baby's squashed, he doesn't like it, push' were just terrible. As soon as the baby was born it was a bit of chat with the husband about his job. No comments about the baby, no chat with or praise for the mum. It saddened me, the whole lot.

I hope they did say how lovely the baby was. I remember that feeling of wanting everyone to admire my beautiful baby and not liking the hairdressing chit chat!

Just watching now on 4+1. Can't take much more of this TWUNT of a man.

OMG how annoying is that man? poor woman.

After 4 births and 20 yrs as paediatric nurse I still cry at this.
Had a terrible 4th birth,abruption,emergency section,massive post partum haemmorrhage.
Good job DH now had the snip

Pointy I thought they were doing ok at trying to stress how imperative it was to push in light of the decells, yet not panic anyone.

I was panicking!

phew, that was gripping stuff.

now.

what hell programme is that, sending away 8 yr olds to baording school they were advertising.

That preview made me cry more than the babies being born.

Why do kids get sent away, i can't even entertian the thought, nor how it is agood thing.

Could we give that tw prat steve the snip with a pair of bricks now?

shall we get back tomorrow for the boarding school documentary

I thought the midwife's comments were spot on actually - she was calm despite that terrible heartrate and managed the situation without an instrumental intervention by being so 'bossy' to Tracy. Let's be honest, the husband was as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike so the midwife was pretty much doing all the encouragement.

I think posters here are forgetting it wasn't a real time documentary, it will have been edited to get a probably 6-8 hour labour down to about 10 minutes. I imagine the nice comments from the MW and post-delivery chit chat was all edited out as unnecessary.

southeastastra, i don't think i will be watching it but will, start a thread now in anticipation!!

I thought that was funny to the women telling her husband to stop walking it is giving her a headache,

My midwife told me I was very easy on dh now I believe it!

Can't wait for Thursday now, my dd1 is 8 can't imagine sending her away to a weekend never mind longer

Reading this at the same time as watching the programme was great! Am fairly newly single parent (ie dd is 19 months but single for 5 months) so was good company and glad to feel everyone else at home wanting to shout at Steve and his son etc! Realised this makes me sound really sad - oh well thanks anyway!

onestepforward - I watched it on my own too. My DH is abroad and so I just sniffed at him down the phone. 'Can't talk now I need to see the baby be born'

He'll be panicking now. We are all done. I'm not sure whether the programme made me feel sad I won't be doing that again or bloomin' relieved!

dh resolutely refused to watch and went to bed early unlike dc's .. i didnt want youngest to watch but there was nothign graphic
