thisisyesterday · 05/07/2011 22:32

have they tied her to the wall? so she can't lie down?

AmyStake · 05/07/2011 22:32

The woman just did a massive smile to the camera and put her hand up, ooh I'm quite excited now!

thisisyesterday · 05/07/2011 22:33

woman in and out again

AmyStake · 05/07/2011 22:33

I don't know, I'm not sure why they've collared her cos I've not seen them do it before. Q's looking agitated - maybe it's the collar or maybe the magic is happening!

AmyStake · 05/07/2011 22:34

She's in labour I think, there's people in there with cameras!! Hooray!

thisisyesterday · 05/07/2011 22:34

omg this is it isn't it?!!??!?!

Disasterpiece · 05/07/2011 22:37

Just seen this, just waiting for the ads to finish

Disasterpiece · 05/07/2011 22:37

Theres a camera on a stand in there too!

thisisyesterday · 05/07/2011 22:38

she doesn't seem agitated at all though. she's just standing there.

thisisyesterday · 05/07/2011 22:38

yeah a man just hbrought that in. he is behind her, with a woman as well....

Disasterpiece · 05/07/2011 22:39

I think they just have her tied up to check her, I doubt they will leave her tied up.

Disasterpiece · 05/07/2011 22:40

Theyve both gone, so has the camera...

AmyStake · 05/07/2011 22:40

No she doesn't now. They've pushed her round a little bit too, not sure if they were checking her or to give us a better view?

thisisyesterday · 05/07/2011 22:42

d'oh! i hope this wasn't just their normal checks they do then lol

AmyStake · 05/07/2011 22:43

spooky!

Disasterpiece · 05/07/2011 22:46

They do pop in for a check around 11pm usually but its normally just one woman who pops in quickly, checks her over and then leaves.

Ive never seen two people go in, set up a tripod and tie her up.

AmyStake · 05/07/2011 22:59

Will do! I'm watching intently. I have no idea what I'm watching for but she's looking a bit restless. Mind you I would if someone had woke me up at 10pm at night, examined me and taken a photo!
