I have just cried my mince pies out at that Abbie lass having her baby, what a trooper!!! Her mam was brilliant and so was her OH. She never gave up and coped so well. At just 17 years old, she should be so proud of herself.

But i have to say, i hate that bloody receptionist, i would be gutted if she was part of my birth experience. Also i think the hospital looks very cold and clinical, i feel really lucky to have such a great maternity department where i have my babies xx

 

 

ahhh she was an absolute star that girl, and her OH was probably the best of all the men feautred on the series so far. Typically my OH was 'fixing' the dishwasher so couldnt watch it with me.

(he turned it off before the end of the cycle and nagged me for leaving it on when it was finished - then when there was still water on the bottom he disconnected all the pipes drained them reconnected them, in the process flooding the kitchen twice and using towels I had JUST washed and dried to clear it up. Then the u-bend leaked because he didnt connect it properly. *sigh* I was trying to tell him, but men just wont be told so I left him to it, took him 2 hours )

 

I cried too at the 17 yr old, she was amazing and her mum was so supportive - I would be proud if I have a birth like her

 

That girl's mum was a fab birth partner wasnt she. Quite a good episode again this week

 

yeah me too. She was brilliant! That receptionist needs a slap, eating all the midwive's cakes and laughing at the women who are in distress, she ought to be fired

 

I scared myself watching that lol when they said to the 17yo about push past the stinging, i looked at my OH n said "stinging?" OMG what have i let myself in for! with my daughter i was so tired i didnt feel much pain and i no with this 1 im gonna feel everything n its really scary! Does anyone else have to look away when they are doing an epidural? i panic myself i cant look at it n im really anti needles if i have to have a csection i think they will have to try and catch me first x



oh and the receptionist! My OH takes the piss outta her coz shes always eating haha. Shes such a weird woman! x

 

she was amazing and her oh was fab..... great birthing partner!!

xxx

p.s i love the show

 

I dont ever have to look away at anything TBH. I'm not bothered about blood, guts, needles etc. but my hubby got up and went to make a brew when they started putting the epi in!

 

I left the room for the epidural bit, when all the fluid started dripping out the needle I just freaked, Im honestly more scared of this than any pain!! I hope I dont need a c-section!

 

I loved it last night! That young girl just made me feel so much more positive about the whole thing! The only thing is that they sqeezed it into an hours show when in reality the she was prob in there for HOURS! first she was in the pool, then the bed, then the ball back into bed!

I was also a bit queezy when it came to the 'stingy' part! ouch! The 'ring of fire' as they like to call it!! eek! But she was really brave and the baby seemed to fall out in stead of head first then body on the next contraction!

What I love about the preogramme is the moment the baby is out its just amazing to watch.

As to the receptionist, I was LAUGHING my head of when she scurried to the midwifes office, started looking at the bored (not like she needs it for any reason whatsoever) pretending to look important then turned around nicked a buiscuit an scurried out! She may not be a very professional but I think thats what they are trying to show in a way that the world goes on around all of the women coming in and out having babies!

The student midwide was great too! I hope my midwifes are as good as in that hospital! I love the head with the round classes on!

soz for the long rant, just love it!!!

 

what a great episode.

wish my mum was that supportive haha. when she said 'thats my little girl and i just wanna take her home and tell her she doesnt have to do this' sooo sweet

 

Awww I know .. I cried when abbie said " my baby" awww

 

loved it !
the 17 yr old was amazing, and her OH was perfect. wished my mother was that when i was in labour, all she did was call me a silly wee lassy.

is that receptionist fat or pregnant??!?!? lol

 

OMG if she's pregnant I hope they all laugh at her when she goes into labour and is scared. Its what she deserves!

 

I dilate 8cm just watching One Born Every Minute, and I'm a dad!

I do get annoyed about how the blokes are always painted in a bad light. We're not all like that, you know!!
