One Born Every Minute

hope this one doesn't disappear.

It's the hair.

I got told off for saying 'fuck' too many times
.. in that very hospital

That's what they told me with ds no screaming.

The one time I didn't swear at all with was in labour. Quite amazing.

How long's that head MW been doing her job? And she doesn't realise yet that a woman phones the labour ward because she's in labour?!!

Ah bugger, Leonie's been transfered downstairs. She was so calm and doing so well! Now she's strapped down and

OMG I cna't watch epidurals!

poor leoni

he is weird looking, but his pain threshold noticeably increased when he screamed and swore.

the professor doing the research was motivated by his wife's experiences in childbirth.

with pain I mean

Fuck, that needle is HUGE. I'm glad I didn't see that.

What makes this so sad is these are both healthy, very young women. They ought to be really good contenders for non-interventionalist births, keeping upright and active - look at how it's panning out for both of them! for them.

Watching an epidural makes me wince more than any memory of DS's birth - and that's saying something. I really don't think I could do that whole needle in the spine thing - and god I so wish I could!

aww, abbie's boyfriend is lovely.

They are, Mama. Abbie's sitting way up.

Leoni is 8 days overdue, not progressing and she is exhausted.

Love this programme I think it's my way of being ok about never having anymore myself!! I feel all warm and fuzzy inside such special time

Her mum seems great too.

Expat, it's all the fluid and shite dribbling out that made me go all wibbly just now! It's a good thing you can't see them doing it!

Ross is FAB!

OMG watching babies born always makes me proper cry. That young man was lovely.

why didn't they deliver on to her chest?

It's the wire left coming out that gets me. What if it snags on something and rips out?! But how can I be more scared of a needle in the back than the worst pain known to man? How?

oh god gets me every time. Lovely. What a great family.

Abbie's mum is lovely and everything but she would DO MY HEAD IN if she were with me during labour. Seriously so

Maybe she didn't want her delivered onto chest? I got asked with Erin, but not for Tom.

Maybe she didn't want to

Leoni's baby doesn't want to come out.
