One born every minute

[missprim]

Anyone watch this last night? What did you think of the midwife that was so unbelievably over the top at being nice?

[vodkancoke]

I don't know that girl felt but I wanted to fling a shoe at the tv! She grated on me!

[missprim]

If I was in that position (so to speak!) I really couldn't be doing with her.

[EvianBaby]

She seemed like a lovely person but I think if I was trying to squeeze a melon through a keyhole she might begin to grate on me a tad.

[Prudie]

I'm not sure, from what I can remember of my labour I was so scared that I clung to any empathy from the midwives.

[MrsLeeG]

She iritated me beyond belief! It was the fact that she said in her interview that sometime you have to tone it down a bit, try all the time!!

[missprim]

Yes it's lovely to have a nice nurse/midwife but I just thought she was just too nice.

[Robinia]

She was a bit much...I kept thinking 'Chantelle from Holby' :o)

I didn't watch it, however it did remind me of my own labour, or more correctly the labour when I was having Mini Boo. I had two of them, midwives I mean. One was the really really nice, and almost apologetic about telling me what to do, the other was a bit of a harridan. Mr Boo says that I took no notice of the nice one at all and concentrated on the bullying one- lol.

So perhaps its one of the few situations where "being nice" doesn't work!

She was bearable up until the time she kept banging on and on about putting that CD on!

Sickly and slightly false, thought she was acting up for the TV coverage.

[anneasquith]

i think she meant well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ummmm]

I don't think she was over the top at all. It was just her voice..

[Eve]

Ahhh I thought it a bit but she was well meaning bless her though I'm not sure how I'd be with her if I was in a lot of pain trying to push the equivalent of a basketball through my bits. She seems like the lovely sort though and some people must like the more sympathetic fluffy side, she looks like the kind who'd go and grab you a nice cuppa or whatever to make you feel better (well, betterish?), maybe especially for people in on their own or really young or scared etc...

Saying that, can't see it works when you see them trying to control the birth with pushing and problems and such though where the more direct approach seems to work better.

Having not had children myself I have no idea really :)

[anneasquith]

i did wonder if she was newly qualified,

[rozia]

oh she really peed me off, if i was having that baby at her hands, i would have told her to f off, and get a proper non /suck up/squeaky midwife to get in here!!!

[Princessstacie22]

I am sure her heart was in the right place but i guess when you are giving birth, behaving in the manner she did, is nothing but annoying!!!
I love OBEM. It makes me so broody though...........
