What I watched last night-One Born Every Minute

A woman's birthing plan went out the window during last night's episode as gave in to using gas and air for pain relief having planned on none at all.

25-year-old Sammy and her 44-year-old partner, explained she wanted a natural birth, 'If my body is able to make a baby then it can give birth to one', she said. Some famous last words as during labour she pleaded with her mum to give her medication for the pain. But having had strict instructions, her mother, who was given the role of birthing partner and hypnotherapist, refused to give in to her daughter's demands. Hours later and baby arrived.

The programme also followed the birthing journeys of young mums, Sarah, 21, and 20-year-old Jenine, who also chose to have only natural pain relief, very brave women.

Naive Jenine, who is married to 20-year-old Tony, said they felt like something was missing in their relationship, ermm maturity (?), and they intended on providing a stable home home for their child and unlike their parents would never consider a divorce.

Whereas clued up Sarah, who delivered her second baby, did not have her partner by her side as he is currently serving time. Instead mum and her best friend, who kept stealing the gas and air, were by her side for the delivery of a baby girl.
