Don't forget.

and Dinah & slarty, thank you

next week looks like when my DTs were born and NNU experience

that must be a record number of responses duelingF..

not sure I can watch next weeks, will bring back memories

oh and at StarlightMcKenzie

Absolutely best episode of the series so far. Have laughed and cried tonight watching it! Loved it.

slarty it's my favourite book! I've read it so many times & listened to the radio shows. Most of my friends have never even heard of it, which I find sacreligious!

Thought the film was pretty good, but I'd have preffered it to be longer so they could have fitted more in. Shame that noone appears to want to make films of the books that followed.

i must re-read it, i bought the trilogy of four recently but time you know? and lack of..

Where do you find out what next weeks is about ?

Does anyone know what Penny called her baby? I hate it when they don't say their names!!

It's taken a bit of poking around but there's a video on the C4 website titled 'Penny bonds with new baby Isla'. It's here.

Ahh, thanks EightiesChick! I just love to know what they are called!

Awww! I missed you all last night. ExDH was here seeing DS and went off with the laptop so that "you can watch that bloody birth programme in peace".

I didn't quite have the heart to say "Er.... actually... I usually MN when I am watching the bloody birth programme".

Have enjoyed the thread over a cup of coffee this morning. Really enjoyed last night's programme - thought Richard was just lovely. Penny and Ben were fantastic - dig the "up on all fours" position for birth - one of my faves as a midwife - along wiht the standing up positions.

So - will see you all next week.

I couldn't come on here last night while watching, but that episode had to be the best yet.

Lovely parents all round.. WOnderful supportive Dads. Poor Richard looked so worried when waiting for news from the emcs.

Ben was also so lovely and sweet. REally great episode.

loved last nights one born every minute - lovely couples and gorgeous babies didnt penny and ben's baby look like penny !! cried my eyes out he was so sweet with her during labour.
poor shelagh - that is what happened to my sister a code 1 emcs she really struggled to come to terms with it all

I heart both mums last night and I double heart Richard

Couldn't get up to the pc last night as SPD was killing me.

Why do I watch this programme? 7 weeks and I have to do it all again.

Loved both couples, did wonder about Penny having the IVs in as it looked like she had a completely drug free birth! I have never had an IV in for any of mine (had G&A all 3 times though) too fast for anything else.

When Ben told her it was a girl (huge sob alert)

Watched this with a quivering lip and a tear in my eye from start to finish. Both Dads were wonderful - hope it's all going well for them.

ye i agree the nurse form doctors or donna from holby.
il uved the younger couple so cute toghether and shenagh gr8

Not weird at all, there are many adoring dads to their adoptive children. Richard will be the one raising their son - he will be Fraser's daddy.

I had an IV with mine because of a fibroid - they were worried I might haemorrhage and so got one ready just in case. Maybe something similar for Penny?

I watched this today as I'd Sky+'ed it.

Oh my, I was not expecting to react in quite the way I did.

I started to shiver when Shelagh got carted off. Same happened to me (distressed baby and C-section scar started to give way)although I was screaming to my poor dh to not dare leave me and poor dh was sobbing.

I really felt for them both. It made me realise how much I must've bottled up all those feelings after dd was born.

I'm glad they were all ok.

Absolutely loved Shelagh and Richard. What a wonderful man. Didn't she remind you of the trucker in Gavin and Stacey when she first walked in? Seemed like a perfect romantic story, and made me weep by the end.

where is everyone?
