    My grandma was an identical twin but they lived very separate lives when they grew up.
    I know identical twins like that too. Not all identical twins are best buddies. But I was so glad that Mum chose her husband to go into the operating theatre with her and not her twin.

    My husband said the big woman looked like a heifer being calved....

    You have to admit her lying there being examined was not a pretty sight even though the bad bits were pixilated.

    Why do women agree to being filmed and broadcast on national television like this :confused:

    Do the Mums giving birth get paid for being filmed ? I personally wouldn't let anyone film me for all the tea in China.

    Yes, although I believe it's not that much money.

    I don't know how they can do it. I'm due to give birth in a few weeks' time and I'm dreading anyone seeing anything to be honest.

    Did anyone else think the husband of the large lady was very camp? I found them fascinating tbh.

    I gave birth via C-section rather than vaginally (although I still had my bits uncovered) and I can guarantee you that once you are in labour/about to have your baby all your inhibitions go and you won't care who comes in the room.

    Good luck x

    I have never watched this, the idea appalls me, some things should be private.

    I cant believe they film it,, who thought it up, Monkey Tennis?

    Yep, as the saying goes, "You leave your dignity at the door" as soon as you have a baby! I'm a naturally very shy, reserved person who would never consider 'flaunting' myself normally, but after having my first baby I did lose a lot of the embarrassment that goes along with 'medical womanly things'! It just kind of happens!

    Wishing anyone who's pregnant on the forum good luck - remember, it's not a competition, and there are no medals for giving birth, and at the end of the day it doesn't matter 'how' the baby emerges into this world as long as Mum and baby are healthy and well at the end of the process. And you really do forget the worst of the pain... but I'm also quite pleased that my child-bearing days are more or less behind me now! :p (Spent the afternoon at a four year old's birthday party - had forgotten quite how tiring it it running around after toddlers; mine are 19 and 16 now!!)

    Thanks. That's what everyone says but I really really dread this part of it more than the pain. I don't mind medical people seeing anything as that's their job but I am dreading my partner or mother seeing stuff I'd rather they didn't see.

    I am 42 and it's my first baby (and my last).

    Hello! :)

    This macho bloke is a bit of a knob, isn't he?

    So this evening we get the contrast of macho man and sensitive man.

    Ok I get the skin to skin contact but it seemed weird the man taking his top off!

    Indeed he did, my comment at the beginning seems even more apt now!

    That was the impression I got, after listing his gym routine in excruciating detail!

    Get the impression he'd rather be anywhere but the labour ward. What does she seem in him?! Please be born after midnight, please be born after midnight.....

    I'm giggling at the woman being in full makeup including lipstick whilst in labour! Honestly, make up was the last thing on my mind for the first 5 years!

    They compromised and he got Zeus as a middle name after all!
