One Born Every Minute

[FiveGoMadInDorset]

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

p'haps the son wants to be on TV!

Poor Lisa, want to give her a big hug

Ah, Lisa... Now I'm crying.

oh i think i might cry

I love this peaches ad - makes me laugh

aww I had emergency cS , know how she feels

Steve reminds me slightly of my xp, same sense of humour

poor Lisa. I actually feel terrified watching it.

Lisa is so sweet. I remember that feeling of being terrified yet resigned.

Feel so sorry for the 18yo son - he's gonna have oedipal issues for the rest of his life.....

I had an emergancy CS when I went into labour at 35 weeks with DS1 who was breech, there I was thinking I was booked in for 38 weeks and he decided to make an early appearance.. its very scary when you have to have a CS suddenly

we were never on our own when I had my 3 and was lucky enough to have my babies in one shift so no swapping midwives

OMG, the poor girl. The poor little mite. Hope it turns out OK.

When i was PG with DS1 in 2000 - many moons ago i endlessly watched a channel on sky where American women gave birth in sunlit rooms with MANY DRUGS....twas beautiful most of the time.

Oh the contrast...

hello, I think so far it has completely highlighted how useless men probably feel whilst their partners are in labour!

Colleague's baby was born with his intestines and bowel outside the body, they covered his bowel/intestines in a clear plastic bag and over weeks gradually stretched the skin and pushed it back in. He's 21 now.

Talk of the catheter would be enough to freak me out!

In the style of filing i mean obv - not the actual emotions / efficiancy etc.

I had an EMCS with DS & was totally freaked, the MW was so lovely & kept cupping my face in her hands & talking really calmly to me as I couldn't stop crying, feel so much for Lisa

It looks very like where I gave birth tbh. This time round doesn't look like it'll be much different.

I was never alone wither - but then again when I arrived at the hospital I was fully dilated and told to push immediately

I wasn't sure about watching this as the trailer was all full of jumpy shots and screaming, having had 2 difficult births, but it is a lovely programme, brings back the (good) memories.

I don't think the son being there is a bad thing, he's an adult, could be having his own children soon (but prob won't now...). Is quite nice if he's going to support his mum.

booksgalore - yes mine was super quick , decision to theatre in 10 minutes
dh needed a poo and nearly missed it
