One Born Every minute

[mercury]

Having watched this TV programme on several occasions you could be forgiven for believing that every birth in our country is a wonderful experience looked over by wonderful caring staff with plenty of time to chat to their expectant mothers.... Are they just lucky at this hospital?  Or have things changed considerably in this country in recent years... My experience on both occasions and that of my daughter were certainly nothing like these lucky women..

We took our youngest daughter home about 60mins after she was born.  It wasn't a decision made lightly or by our own choice.

When our twins were born, there was a total of 22 staff in the room.

Blimey, how did they all get into the delivery room? did they have to move all the patients & their beds out of the ward to get that lot in? Were you outside selling tickets?

Hamlet, he was on the floor, most of the staff were trying to bring him round.
