My sister's mother-in-law discovered she was pregnant with her youngest child (out of eight) 6 weeks after giving birth. She said her husband could not wait any longer than 3 weeks.....personally I'd have kneed my husband's knockers up where the sun don't shine had he come near me looking for it that bloody soon :mad:
So hes not coming back then? I thought he was going to drop the child off with someone.
I feel sorry for her having to give birth alone. Surely a family member or friend could have watched the little girl for a bit.
I have to admit that Frank Spencer was a far better dad-candidate than most of the idiots I have seen on this show...just what were those women thinking???
I feel so sorry for that girl giving birth alone. He's 51 for God's sake. There must have been someone he could have left the child with. Strange set up. Think she has sold herself short tbh.

Does she not have any friends that could have gone in with her?
The thing is you can opt for an early epidural ( I had one after 18 hours of labour for my first) but then it can slow things down so much that the baby becomes distressed, takes in meconium and then things get a whole lot more complicated This happened with my son, who came out blue. The silence was awful. Fortunately he was ok in the end. The smug ' I'll have an epidural' woman annoys me. I wish I'd been given the chance/moral support/encouragement in that hospital to have a more natural birth. Instead I was left to walk up and down a darkened corridor on my own, not knowing what to do next and worried about bothering the midwives (((
Thank goodness for the midwife led unit for my second child. A totally different and enpowering experience.. and I managed it alone!
Have this couple got another child - i thought she mentioned something about this labour being different to last one but they arent talking about other child?

Maybe she didn't want to have anyone there? If I'm honest, should I be daft enough to have another one, I'd be quite happy to not have anyone with me. I didn't feel any better for having my ex and my sister in with me

I thought it was their first but heard that and doubted myself. I thought I'd missed something
The midwives have had to learn how to deal with the replies they get when they ask what names they've chosen. I suppose they can call upon 'Oh, that's unusual. I've never heard that before.' when they can't think of anything else to say!
I'd say, if your midwife politely says 'how do you spell that?", I'd seriously rethink the poor babys name
Omg, I thought it may happen and now it is, OBEM are to show a sad end to a birth, where the baby sadly passed away at 6 days old. I don't know if I could cope. I watched that baby hospital and was in bits. I knew they'd show a sad one eventually.

I can understand the reason why they are showing it and its very brave of the couple to allow them to film. However I will not be watching this week then, whilst I have got 2 healthy children. I am the only child my parents were able to have. Mum had 2 stillborns and 2 miscarriages after I was born.
The emotions this week will be to raw for me to handle. I'm not heartless however this show always puts a smile on my face when the joy of birth and parenthood is shown.

I agree, my wife had a miscarriage and I really don't want to watch it.

I thought the same - seems a bit strange.

I feel mean, as I was kinda wishing that her epidural didn't work ....

lol she delivered one of my babies. She was amazing
Exactly my thought, surely they know one person who would look after the kid?
Yes, good point! What got me about Bianca was that she knew kale was a kind of cabbage, but chose to call him that anyway.

I was saying for a while that it's only a matter of time before they showed a baby passing away, but I just assumed it would be a stillbirth.
If the parents want it shown to raise awareness then I suppose I can't judge them for it.
