Very reasurring to know that my high risk (but not really all that high risk) pregnancy is getting dealt with by the same people who get sent the genuinely difficult cases - feel very lucky to have Kings as my local hospital this time! I should really stop watching these things though, so sad for the couple who lost a twin.
I dont know if I missed it, but didn't hear anything about the birth of the surviving twin. I did not see the whole programme , but saw where the procedure was done , cutting the placenta. I wondered about the other mother having triplets where 1 of the identical twins was having problems, but all turned out well. I realy felt for the woman who lost her twin, the woman doin the scan seemed very matter of fact. Hope all went well.
I am so glad I caught this, having been under the care of many of the docs featured (including the Prof and Leonie Penna, who was fantastic) when we had our identical twins. They developed twin to twin transfusion and I had the laser procedure featured on the programme. Having that op and then waiting for that follow-up scan was the worst 2 weeks of my life. We were among the very lucky ones in that both our girls survived, the programme brought back lots of memories but more than anything reminded me how lucky we are to have our NHS and such a fantastic specialist ante-natal centre virtually on our doorstep!

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
