I lost my baby girl at 19 weeks this Christmas. I wish we had a bereavement room and midwife caring for us. I'm now pregnant again at 17 weeks and I'm so scared of loosing her too. I burst out into tears when the midwife read the note from the parent who lost their child. The note put me right back into the experience of loosing her. I wish I had gotten one of those. It would have helped me not feel so alone in the situation. We've been trying for a baby for 3,5 years. Hopefully this one will come out screaming and wiggling
I sonsorrybfor your loss! I agree that room is lovely. My sister loss her baby a month ago, so even though I am Auntie and not the parent I can still feel your pain.
I'm now 27 weeks along and have developed pre-eclampsia. She has barely grown the last 2 weeks and is the size of a 24 week old fetus. My baby will probably have to be delivered by c-section around 28 weeks. I hope she is strong enough to make it out healthy, but the doctors are telling me to prepare for the worst since she is so small. I'm scared for her, but she is dancing in my belly as I type, so I'm still hopeful ❤️🤞
@@raychieeliz7658 Er what do you mean ‘that’s how I interpreted it’ ? I answered a question, I didn’t make a statement. Your comment makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.
I caught that she very nearly said "nothing will go wrong" but she caught herself and said "nothing... we'll be looking after ya" it must be so hard just wanting to say whatever you can to take the anxiety away but also knowing that she can't make any promises
These midwives are absolutely wonderful; The care and compassion they show is amazing and I love watching these shows. It's almost 40 years since I had a baby.
Aw my heart breaks for Helen, losing a baby is the hardest thing ever to go through, I’ve lost 7 little angels and just experiencing any type of uterine cramps/contractions bring back such horrible memories and fear, just being constipated which is normal in pregnancy and causes crampy feelings brings on such horrible anxiety, so I understand how scared she would of been feeling the poor darling.
Lost our youngest child, our 12 year old son to cancer a year ago. Now expecting twins. I understood Helen's fears of losing another child and for a moment I thought the twins mum was about to realise my fears for this pregnancy. I appreciate that our son was able to come home for palliative care for his last 3 weeks of life. And even then, the night he stopped breathing was a shock. Doesn't matter how much warning you have, it's still a shock.
I was a midwife for 25 years, but sadly had to give it up due to arthritis in my spine, watching makes me feel so nostalgic, and I miss midwifery terribly, midwifery is an amazing career
I would love to go back and continue my midwifery journey (I dropped out in yr 2 of Uni due to my marriage breaking up and having 2 small children at the time), but in these last few yrs I’ve needed both knees replaced. I wonder if I’m too knackered physically at 48 to re-apply and have another go, despite my crappy lower half?! I have many dear friends from my cohort who now midwifery matrons/specialists midwives/sonographers…I am torn!
I had three early miscarriages and a baby with no kidneys. Then i had undiagnosed placenta accreta and had to have an awful emergency hysterectomy under local which took five hours as they tried to put me back together whole then had to unstitxh me again. I could not hold my baby for days.
@Sally Ebsworth I’m 12 years old and have wanted to be a midwife since I’ve been old enough to understand, I’m almost a teenager now and I really hope I’ll be able to help mothers and babies just like you!
@@theflyinggymnast1957 it’s a very rewarding career…here I New Zealand we have what’s called Direct entry midwifery whereby it’s a 4 year long degree in training to be a midwife. It’s tough but so worth it, I had to retire early unfortunately as I have arthritis in my spine and can no longer perform as a midwife….all I can say is go for it honey because it’s a wonderful career choice ❤️
Midwives are one of the most essential parts of giving birth, never forget mine. Luckily she was there while I needed General Anaesthetic after giving birth, had no idea what had happened to my baby…..there she was safe with my midwife & husband. My milk monster is now 23 & just finished her placement on Obstetrics as a trainee Dr….full circle ❤️
Thankyou guys I’m a retired midwife of 50 years of birthing babies in two countries and looking after special needs and NICU babes whilst in England You all brought it all back to me I’m still dreaming of delivering baby’s. Once a midwife all ways a midwife despite the highs and lows and fatigue I don’t regret any of the time. 50 years went in a flash. I wonder how many babies my babies have had and they are having babies. By the way I loved your bereavement suites. Keep the faith The calling is worth it
Love the Mum, Miriam, who bought all the natural remedies in for her daughter. Such love for her daughter is beautiful to see. I find natural remedies to work extremely well for me.
Hello. I am Nkote Annie from Cameroon. A final year Bsc Midwife. You all midwives at St Mary are my heroes. I am overwhelmed at what you do. Hopefully I get to work and be trained by you all next year.
How incredible to have a bereavement suite. After seeing women being left in a maternity ward full of new babies when they’ve just lost theirs I can’t believe these things exist. And the beautiful gifts 💔
I love this practice in the UK. In the states the OB Gyn only comes in for the delivery and the nurses here absolutely do not give the care and attention that I see the Mid wives give in this show! I wish we had a system like this here in the states!
If you did, your country wouldn't have such an abysmal standing of maternal and fetal/neonatal morbidity and mortality in the developed world! I was never a Midwife, which was ironically the very reason I went into Nursing in the first place, but I was also a Childbirth Educator and I LOVED being in the Labour Ward when babies were delivered, but I believes that every woman should be able to birth their babies in whatever position they want to and unfortunately I was born with a dislocated hip and I knew that arthritis would be a problem in a few years and so I went into Palliative Care nursing instead, but I have always been interested in maternity issues, which leads me back to the US and it's incredibly high caesarian rates and while I'm aware that there are legitimate reasons for SOME C Sections, I am also aware that due to the litigious environment in the US many OBGYN's have incredibly high insurance rates and often they will take the option of doing an unnecessary C Section for convenience, which is major abdominal surgery and not without significant risk to mother and baby. If the high C Section rates were reducing the fetal and maternal stat's then that would be evidence of better outcomes but it's the opposite. However, they'd get less money if they had a system like the UK and we'll we can't have that!
They’re recording one of the best wards in the U.K. They’re not all like this. Nurses in the U.K. can be callous too, don’t be fooled. Our maternity wards are currently under scrutiny because of the increasing number of issues that they’re not addressing.
Those twins were mini versions of their dad! So glad they were okay. Boris, Hancock and all their greedy cronies shouldn’t ever be allowed healthcare on the nhs again after depriving these wonderful people a pay rise they well deserve
I was like Helen when I was in labor and my doctor told me to shut up. She didn't talk to me, didn't try to comfort me. She made me feel like I was bothering her. I hope she either was retrained or quit for this one. I don't want to go through that again. I wish she was more like these midwives are.
As they say here, you never forget who delivers your children, the midwife who delivered my first born, she had no sympathy at all, I was young, in a foreign country and in those days you could not have your husband with you. My second baby was much better with a lovely midwife who was really sympathetic and helped me give birth quickly with no trauma
Same here my first was so traumatic and midwife was so uncaring and wouldn’t smile or help calm me, the second went so quickly and amazing I just focused on breathing deeply into gas and air and was virtually painless and the midwife was lovely and kind
I too gave birth to my eldest after only a few months in a foreign country. no sympathy from the nurses, no husband allowed in the delivery room, and a jealous mother-in-law! A very traumatic experience.
I have no idéa who was there😅. But they were amazing. So kind and always calmly wispering/talking to me. Perhaps I will remember next time this summer😁.
I know that pain of losing a baby. I gave birth at 20 weeks. My sweet little girl was born a live but passed 4 hours later she was gone. She passed away in her dad’s arms.
My placenta burst like the mother of the twins. It's was so scary because the nurses and doctors moved so fast. I was in surgery before I really understood what was happening. I was so grateful seeing my sweet little son. I can't imagine having that job.
Midwives everywhere are my heroes. The strength, kindness and compassion that it takes to sit at someone’s feet and tell them that they CAN do it, is beyond words!!
Helen's moment of despair made me feel so bad for her. It's a normal stage just before babies are born but with her sad history it must have been excruciating 😢
Midwifery, was my chosen path in health. Knowledge pushed me to have my last baby before my 30's & out he popped 3days after my 28th. I never made it back to the access course. Hated maths & that was all i had to do then apply for uni. Im 46now, what a waste of an opportunity I had. The words spoken by the midwife that ended this episode brought tears to my eyes because I threw it all away. Im now 12yrs diagnosed with MS so fate sealed, chapter ended, pick another book from the shelf Nikki. My brain function is too effected by the relapses over the years, if I was dumb before, im WAY DUMBER NOW! However, within my written guilty conscience & doom, I did deliver my grandson for my daughter in her sitting room. Aided by my 3yr old granddaughter who was OVER THE MOON with delight. Ive written this to process my emotions, kind of a therapy session. Anyway, throughly enjoyed this ep. Love for all in tbis ep & their futures ♥️🤗💙🤗
I lost my twins girl 3 years ago on 26 weeks but now I’m pregnant 34 week I have a diabetic type 2 I’m scared but I’m grateful to Queens medical hospital in Nottingham they are very kind and supportive They made me feel relieved I hope I can cuddle my baby soon . Thank you NHS ❤
My girl twins are 55 on October 24th, i was 19 and an 8 stone weakling when they were born, 2 months early, 5 minutes apart. So thankful for the midwives. Marvellous people.
I'm diabetic, I recognise the marks on Neelam's stomach. We don't heal well, and bruise easily. Our health is not great to begin with, I'd be worried about getting pregnant too. It would put a lot of strain on my body, the organs have to work much harder, anyway. Plus, the chances of infection are notably increased, abscesses are very quick to form. It is one of those illnesses people judge you for, until they find out that you are a type one diabetic... Then they shut up, when you mention you have to receive injections. Not that it is their business, people still feel the need to lecture me constantly, however. I probably eat way healthier than they do!

Love the fact these mums are allowed to do what makes them most comfortable. I've never given birth and never plan too, but it would take an idiot to not realise just how much these women are going through. When you are in such extreme pain and in a situation you have little control over, being able to do your make-up or drink special herbal teas probably does so much to help the mothers get through this experience. Even when it's not something the nurses understand, they keep their minds open and don't judge mothers or their families. It was so beautiful to watch.
Helen broke my heart. She had me crying, reliving my third delivery. You could hear me all over the hospital. I never had an easy time delivering my five boys. 😂
My experiences of midwives, I’ve never known such beautiful spirited people. When it was my time she knew just by looking at me and that was worth the world at that time. Thank you midwives ❤
Excellent documentary. The midwives keep everything together in spite of the stress and pressure. It’s amazing. Loved seeing the births and what women with high-risk pregnancies go through. ❤
so beautiful to have time to grieve with your baby i worked in hospice it was never easy but the joy i felt in my heart helping,comforting my patients and there families priceless i tell people the day your job becomes ordinary or you can’t care in the same way it’s time to leave
I remember I was like "Helen' with my 2nd delivery. It was SO fast that I just panicked. It wasn't until the midwives gave me a very firm talking to as my carry-on was putting my son's life at risk. I remember I just switched into action mode and pushed him out- forgot about the pain. I feel so much for Helen, it's so easy to be judgemental but induced deliveries are hard and fast.
Not all induced deliveries are. My cousin was induced. Stayed in labor for 12-24 hrs and ended up an emac-sec. Her baby was breeched. He’s 7 yrs old now.
I’m absolutely positive there are teams of midwives all over the US, especially in Cali! There’s just not a show about them. That’s probably what you meant. 😉💗
The midwives are blessing for pregnant ladies Even after birth I really appreciate n thankful to the midwives of St Mary Hospital London Very hardworking staff midwives very friendly …. Like a family I have experienced for my both kids Alhundullilah
I love love British accent! Im african we were once colonised by British so im so obsessed with how they speak their English. I can listen and even learn it sometimes 🤗🤗🤗🤗😍
Midwives and most nurses generally are superhumans and nobody can say otherwise. Incredible responsibility, dedication and kindness, resilience in a system that does not reward them as it should. ❤ Beautiful people
I wish this was done more here in the US. Most nurses that have cared for me in my time in the hospital I didn’t even learn their names. They were sweet caring people(usually!) but much more distant than the midwives in this series.
If I only had them when it happened to me. I was 5 months pregnant when I lost mine and the one thing I didn’t like is that they kept me on the maternity ward. I could hear all the babies crying and I would cry when I heard them. I wanted to be anywhere else but there.
@@pegs1659 I would try to sleep but be awakened by the sound of babies. It was hard. A lady at the bank said , right after it happened, that she lost hers in delivery because he had the cord wrapped around his neck. I felt so bad for her.
I love watching births had both of mine naturally, was my daughters birthing partner, she had a hard time having my grandson, I was one of the first people to hold him we have a really strong bond which I cherish 😍 I love these women who want to share their journeys 🥰🥰😍
Why I watch these is utterly beyond me. Always reminds me of the one time I gave birth. Told to push, baby in distress, no epidural, no medication (allergic), and I tore. Screamed so loud Dad heard me clear at the other end of the hospital. Oh well, have a daughter, Shannon.
The midwives are amazing. Did you appreciate that these teams all work together and know one another and know the staff on other floors. They are keepers. Not something we see in the us
I wish in life i could of had two more, but god blessed me with two boys early on, they are in their 30s now, i lost two, but im grateful they are good sons, i dont care how old i get they will always be my babies.😊❤❤
I LOVE this 45-year old soon to be mother comments "It's a miracle. It's a blessing. It's a gift. This is just how I feel too"

These nurses and midwives are remarkable ladies , so sweet and compassionate I had 1 miscarriage due to a molar pregnancy out of 5 live births 💞💞
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING THESE BEAUTIFUL TIMES! I love you guys dearly and your bedside manner is far better than in Oregon where I’m from.
Thank you for uploading these series!!
Times and methods have changed but the spirit of Nonnatus House lives on..
The Mingle of both Tears of Joyfulness and Tears of Sadness and very Scary scenes.
I’m crying due is 6 weeks this just makes it so much more real 😭❤️🙏🏾
How's your baby? 😄
Love the fact these mums are allowed to do what makes them most comfortable. I've never given birth and never plan too, but it would take an idiot to not realise just how much these women are going through. When you are in such extreme pain and in a situation you have little control over, being able to do your make-up or drink special herbal teas probably does so much to help the mothers get through this experience. Even when it's not something the nurses understand, they keep their minds open and don't judge mothers or their families. It was so beautiful to watch.
Such wonderful care these women are amazing. Wish we had this in the US.
Helen broke my heart. She had me crying, reliving my third delivery. You could hear me all over the hospital. I never had an easy time delivering my five boys. 😂
My experiences of midwives, I’ve never known such beautiful spirited people. When it was my time she knew just by looking at me and that was worth the world at that time. Thank you midwives ❤
the Rainbow Rooms 😢. I'm so happy Lisa's boys made it. I was crying the whole time for them.
Thank you for taking care of the dads too. ☺️
the Pakistani mom is absolutely precious!
Excellent documentary. The midwives keep everything together in spite of the stress and pressure. It’s amazing. Loved seeing the births and what women with high-risk pregnancies go through. ❤
Those Bereavement midwives are amazing. All nurses are Angels.
These are Archangels.
I'm studying midwifery and this video just made me loving my job even more
so beautiful to have time to
grieve with your baby i worked in hospice it was never easy but the joy i felt in my heart helping,comforting my patients and there families priceless i tell people the day your job becomes ordinary or you can’t care in the same way it’s time to leave
Expecting my first in 3 months time, god the tears i shed watching this! So many emotions!
I remember I was like "Helen' with my 2nd delivery. It was SO fast that I just panicked. It wasn't until the midwives gave me a very firm talking to as my carry-on was putting my son's life at risk. I remember I just switched into action mode and pushed him out- forgot about the pain. I feel so much for Helen, it's so easy to be judgemental but induced deliveries are hard and fast.
Not all induced deliveries are. My cousin was induced. Stayed in labor for 12-24 hrs and ended up an emac-sec. Her baby was breeched. He’s 7 yrs old now.
You guys are amazing people! I wish we had a team like yours here in USA California. I so enjoyed watching this video.
I’m absolutely positive there are teams of midwives all over the US, especially in Cali! There’s just not a show about them. That’s probably what you meant. 😉💗
RED KITE SWANSEA😐🤐🤔😀😊😉😥☺😆🙂😮
These hospital heroes are very nice and caring.
Midwife Jess is my favorite in this series! She is so awesome
She will be a ward manager before she knows it
It was so nice to see her back and with even more experience and confidence!
Those husbands that are indeed with their wives, and talk to them, and support them are the best.
Very true
I really don't know how i feel on the first cry of the baby
Too much love..
Blessings to midwives 😊
that one girl was taking advantage of that laughing gas even after she got her epidural lol. I cant believe they let you have both at the same time!
The midwives/nurses are professionally and neatly attired..the uniforms, the hair neatly done. 💐
The midwives are blessing for pregnant ladies
Even after birth
I really appreciate n thankful to the midwives of St Mary Hospital London
Very hardworking staff midwives very friendly …. Like a family I have experienced for my both kids

Midwives and most nurses generally are superhumans and nobody can say otherwise. Incredible responsibility, dedication and kindness, resilience in a system that does not reward them as it should. ❤ Beautiful people
Which hospital is this
This is incredible, the staff is great, the teamwork, including the spouse and family in the care of the patient, awesome
Neelam's mum is wonderful 🥰
I have been a nurse for 40yrs and avoided delivering baby my entire to career, Even working 8 yrs in the ER...you are heros..my biggest fear ever
It’s called labor for a reason it’s really hard work to deliver a baby 💞💞
My mum always tells me about Pauline the lady who helped bring me earthside and she sounds like a lovely lady!!
Mama from Pakistani is just amazing I love her!!
Huge respect to all those amazing mid wives 🙏🙏
After 4 children the miracle of birth never fails to bring tears of joy to me. ❤
The twins father was a saint and them as a couple seem to be so in love its just lovely to see ❤
Such a beautiful documentary. Thank you ❤
I wish this was done more here in the US. Most nurses that have cared for me in my time in the hospital I didn’t even learn their names. They were sweet caring people(usually!) but much more distant than the midwives in this series.
If I only had them when it happened to me. I was 5 months pregnant when I lost mine and the one thing I didn’t like is that they kept me on the maternity ward. I could hear all the babies crying and I would cry when I heard them. I wanted to be anywhere else but there.
I'm so sorry. That must have been so hard for you.
@@pegs1659 I would try to sleep but be awakened by the sound of babies. It was hard. A lady at the bank said , right after it happened, that she lost hers in delivery because he had the cord wrapped around his neck. I felt so bad for her.

hopefully more research can be done in helping prevent newborns’ loss of life
Am I the only mama that cries during these EVERY SINGLE TIME I hear a baby cry it’s first cry😅
No, it’s a relief to know they’re thriving when born ❤
Wow, Leeza is very beautiful. I'm glad that she and the babies are doing well.
No one understands what it takes to have twins unless you have done it 😭 it’s so hard!!!
LESLIE IS A SWEET HEART
I love this type of show! These midwives are wonderful.
Oh I can't wait I meet my rainbow in just over 11 weeks
I love watching births had both of mine naturally, was my daughters birthing partner, she had a hard time having my grandson, I was one of the first people to hold him we have a really strong bond which I cherish 😍 I love these women who want to share their journeys 🥰🥰😍
Hello pretty
Why I watch these is utterly beyond me. Always reminds me of the one time I gave birth. Told to push, baby in distress, no epidural, no medication (allergic), and I tore. Screamed so loud Dad heard me clear at the other end of the hospital. Oh well, have a daughter, Shannon.
The best things in life are worth waiting for 😭✨ no truer words have been spoken by such a proud Dad. So beautiful 💖🥰

Wow 45 with a newborn!! That's almost unheard of!! Glad all went well
Older women having children is becoming more popular now
The midwives are amazing. Did you appreciate that these teams all work together and know one another and know the staff on other floors. They are keepers. Not something we see in the us
I wish in life i could of had two more, but god blessed me with two boys early on, they are in their 30s now, i lost two, but im grateful they are good sons, i dont care how old i get they will always be my babies.😊❤❤
