I wish I could watch but I don't think I can quite sit at my mother-in-laws all day watching people give birth live on TV and make everyone else put up with it too. I loved the last series though. I'd be sitting there all day crying my eyes out.. For this reason, I cannot bring myself to train as a midwife!

Looking forward to it, though may have to watch on sky plus as Glee starts at the same time :-$


Really looking forward to the return to the original format (hopefully) as have to say, didn't think the live/Doctor embarassing illnesses/Julia whatnot format worked that well at Christmas - though the actual birth stories were lovely as always.

They were both terrible presenters! especially when interviewing people. But also some bad links and awkward moments. It just didn't work. I also found it hard to get really excited about how many/which one first would be born on CHRISTMAS DAY, it's the births we tune in for really isn't it - i don't think the audience cared that much about who'd racked up the most Xmas babies etc.


it was nice to find out how the parents whose babies had been in special baby unit were doing - that was very moving.

Mrs Keef made the point that the hospital is very old school (she used the term "out of the dark ages). All the births are women lying flat on their backs. I guess other births may be hard to show, without showing too much, but it's not really a realistic account of things.
There's me and my partner talking about another baby in the next 2 years then I go and make him watch it! Silly me. Once again cried at both births and felt sorry for both of them. Then I remembered the best bit of advice I was given - concentrate the screaming to the pushing!
Out of interest, what does "DH" stand for? I know it's your other half / Husband, but I don't know what the D stands for.


Just looked it up, and it means "Dear Husband". Yuk yuk yuk, you should all stop using it immediately!


Anyway, sorry, back to one born every minute.

I know Keef, but it is universally understood so tricky not to use, mind you I think of it as Darling Husband, also DD or DS Darling Daughter/Darling Son.


My own favourite is ROFLMSO (rolling on floor laughing my socks off).


Did think for ages that when people put LOL they were sending me Lots of Love prior to realising it was Laugh out Loud!!

I really enjoyed the show last night, brings it all back! I have vivid memories of wandering round the labour ward at Kings waiting (and waiting and waiting and waiting) for my induction to work and hearing a woman screaming like that lady last night - at which point I wondered whether it was too late to change my mind! I was the complete opposite, no noise, no talking, went completely into myself and dealt with it that way.


Looking forward to next week's episode!

    • There has been a number of achievements, but drowned out due to: Bloody awful comms from the government Some daft decisions and initiatives, then either digging themselves into a hole and/or turning For example the well off should not get winter fuel allowance, benefit needs to be reformed and rich farmers should not get tax breaks, but we now how all that went  Employers national insurance - money has to be raised from somewhere but that is the difficult question The image from the right wing press has now stuck, propagated by traditional and social media. And then some appalling acts of self harm. We of course all know better, but I do wonder about the competence of those advising him.
    • Left on wall outside 27 landells Rd ( end near Lordship Lane and library )
    • When did this whole “elect a govt and then change leaders as we see fit “ notion take hold ? it didn’t help the Tories and it won’t help Labour  (and why do people think they can change leaders, call new elections on a whim, but NEVER EVER talk about changing Brexit)  I dont think starmer is doing a good job. But he was elected. And the volatile electorate wanting short term fixes are part of the reason behind his ultra-cautiousness  Complaining about govt and suggesting change of direction seem fine to me. Demanding a change of leader not so much  that being said, if there was some Labour implosion and someone like Burgon was in some mad scenario made leader, then I think the electorate should be entitled to a general election. Just as it should have happened when Johnson was replaced 
    • Personally, I would like to see labour do something positive for the country, unfortunately under Starmer and Reeves the opposite is true. Change of leadership.is now required, not a general election at this stage but if Starmer and Reeves stay in post then the May local elections will give Reform more power.  Now is the time for change and damage limitation , not after May when large number of reform local councillors will be voted in as a protest against this Government.
