Omg thank you for your wit, humour, and for the written equivalent of nitrous to take the edge off these contractions from hell.
As an American implant (now also British) living in Scotland, reading this was like that post-labour cuppa and toast you mentioned - a balm for my soul.
I had finally gotten to a good headspace yesterday (brought on by the Senate Democrats preventing the passage of the anti-trans sports ban). Then I watched last night, and I was again in bad shape today.
I LOVE that you were a midwife. Call the Midwife is my favorite TV show of all time. ♥️ We only have season 14 episode 1 so far here, so no spoilers if you watch. 😉
I don’t watch it as I am the worst person to watch any dramatised births. I annoy everyone around me by constantly criticising the reenactment… I’m all ‘that’s not a newborn’, ‘you can’t stop a haemorrhage that quickly’ ‘why haven’t they put a drip up?’… glad you enjoy it though, it’s really popular in Britain. ❤️
Couldn't bear to watch it, so thank you for the potted summary. If there are going to be four more years of this, we might need more than an epidural, an induced coma perhaps...
Well said Rebecca. I was in the basement listening to my lp’s. I made the mistake of popping my head up, thinking that it must have been over. Boy, was I wrong. The orange one was still rabbiting on, spewing lies and insults. I should have put the kettle on and have a cuppa or two to calm down.
Yep Wayne…I went through 3 cups of tea listening to that complete bullshittery… the exploitation of the grieving families was particularly stomach turning. Stay in the basement next time until the coast is clear and pour yourself a nice cup of tea ☕️ (or something stronger)!

Such a beautiful comment Stacie. We all need a bit of soul uplift right now. Lifts my soul that you enjoyed it. ❤️

Haha! I get it. The storylines are just so magnificent. We watch Ghosts UK because we loved Charlotte Richie’s Call the Midwife character so much.
Ghosts is fab too and Charlotte is such a good actress, good choice 👍🏻

Ooh I’m British and I work in the NHS… lists are long for induced comas though 🙊
Damn!
Will Medicare pay for that? 😉
Probably not, but fortunately I have the NHS 😁
Trump WAS, IS AND ALWAYS WILL BE A LYING CON MAN.
Agreed!
I’m taking a self care break; thank you 🙏🏻 for keeping me informed. I will read.
‘Self care break’… I love it. ❤️ Enjoy, Mary… take as long as you need. ☕️

Alcohol is out for me for medical reasons, replaced by Earl Grey.
You nailed it! We will have our review up later, but yours hit all the low points (like every minute!) very well!
That’s freaking hilarious. We seriously tried to watch it and couldn’t do it. He just spews vomit 🤮. Asshole and a bunch of kiss ass motherfuckers
