One Born Every Minute

[FiveGoMadInDorset]

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

OMG!! Sam's mum is younger than me if she had her when she was 20 and Sam is 20 now.

Blimey Sam's mum is the same age as Joy!

Anyone else think that Fabio looks like Kevin McCloud?

Flip, Joy, Flip!!

Love Joy's obsession with her lunch!

Sounds like Joy has been through a lot to get to this point

I'm really glad they're showing both sides of the spectrum- both arguments-

have a baby early efore being 'secure' financially etc

or

wait until you are 'secure' yet this may cause fertility probs etc.

Shit, of course she'd be obsessed - she's diabetic.

That receptionist!

The lunch saga does sum up the NHS bureaucracy and efficiency quite well.

Receptionist lady's a cow.

she's cranky because her blood sugar has plummeted right?

I brought a bulging bag of snacks with me.

So do we think that MWs assume that any woman who really complains of pain early on is just being a spoilt brat? They do seem to expect everyone's experience to be the same and put us all in boxes according to how dilated we are.

DH has very kindly told me that I was really really reserved during my labour. I'm thinking if I'd made more of a fuss perhaps I might have got some pain relief? I internalised it all because I didn't want to make a fuss and I thought I wasn't entitled to be in so much pain early on. I'm very very relieved I didn't behave like that Sam though!

Yes - Sam's Mum is the same age as me too!

That's not good that they've left her lunch knowing she's diabetic! Thought Nancy was a bit harsh about it too

I feel for the receptionist, she must get so much grief from the cross mums-to-be

yes now we know her full name and the village she lives in

What's going on with Sam's baby?

I thought that booksgalore. A most impressive surname nontheless

I hope Sams baby is ok, I think her mum is trying not to panic....

DH has been rolling his eyes at Sam all the way through.

Think she is off for a section. Don't think she will manage pushing anyway

Baby's heartrate
