One Born Every Minute

[FiveGoMadInDorset]

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

Very stressful for them - she seems to be pinning so much on a vaginal delvery.

Don't think her husband should be putting so much pressure on her

oooh I want a waterbirth now I am so scared about childbirth but that looked alright

Dominique looks lovely!

fabulous view from their window

Oh lordy I'm crying again. Thought Eastenders had had me cried out!

er, Darren - it ain't anyone's fault, ya know!

I dealt with husbands/partners like him getting stroppy if labour took "too long". Part of the reason I left - too stressful.

Ah right I was expecting her to be one of the mums!

I was looked after by a Team of midwives with my first, it was really nice! They didn't last due to finances.

this midwife is so lovely "Just boss us around and tell us what you need"

Have a feeling that Darren could be pissing off a few people this evening...

we're going to need a new home next week!

I wanted a waterbirth with DD2 but didn't get there in time.

So instead of just those little grunts Andrea did at the end I sounded like a constipated cow.

This programme has me in tears for all the usual reasons but also because i planned to be a midwife but due to worries about future have to pick a different career

Makes me broody and frustrated and in awe and sad all at the same time and im not pregnant nor am ever likely to be again!

Lewis I think we might need a new home in about 10 mins!

Agree about the husband putting pressure on for a natural birth. Why do some men think they know best when they don't have to go through actually giving birth themselves?

Sorry, but that VBAC woman's husband should be shot - I really meant that !!!!

What the hell is wrong with a c-section !!!!
What the hell does it matter how a baby is born ! What it should be about is: the safest possible birth for the baby, and safest for the mum.

PictureThis, the view is of Fawley oil refinery iirc. Nice if you look the other way!

lol, you're probably right!

Expat, I had 2 straightforward, pretty chilled-out waterbirths and DP said I sounded like "lowing cattle"

I remember making a right old racket, very erm, primal

Oh Fuck - Aptamil follow on/Always Ultra/McDonalds......

Wasn't that the same guy who was lecturing her about how she could have had an operation to avoid all this at the beginning?

at him.

Her husband is a bit of a twunt
