Babies rarely come when they are expected to. Are there any methods for speeding up going into labour?
Linda's friends try different methods in order to help start the labour process. Can eating spicy food trigger contractions?!
Linda:
It's fine! Course I’ll know when it’s happening! I’m not going to sleep through it, am I? Well, turbulence is very different.
Alarm ringing
Linda:
What the?! Look, I’ll call you back Mum.
Alarms ringing
Desiree:
Just trying something.
Chantelle:
She thought it might let the baby know it’s time.
Linda:
Desiree switch them off.
Desiree:
Give it a minute, let the message sink in. It’s getting boring now though isn’t it? No offence but you need to crack on.
Linda:
Oh! Do you wanna take over, do you?
Desiree:
No way man. If Katie and me have kids, she can do this bit, it is long!
Chantelle:
You’d think they’d have found a way to speed it up by now?
Desiree:
If blokes had to go through it, they would.
Linda:
Any more alarms Des?
Desiree:
Na, plan B now.
Everyone:
Down it, down it, down it, down it, down it, down it, down it
Linda:
I can’t.
Chantelle:
Does this definitely work?
Desiree:
Anything spicy, draws em out. Waited this long for him, be fumin if he comes while I’m away.
Chantelle:
You’re only going to your Nan’s!
Linda:
I can’t feel my tongue.
Desiree:
Good, keep going.
Chantelle:
I’ve popped a few extra things in your hospital bag.
Linda:
Let’s have a look then.
Chantelle:
One for you, one for baby.
Linda:
Giggles
Chantelle:
It was only a joke! Do you know what? Take them out.
Linda:
I think it’s started.
Chantelle:
Oh bloody hell! I didn't think spicy stuff always worked. I’ll phone Josh. Oh, bloody hell!
Linda:
We’re okay.
Chantelle:
Josh, it is happening it is happening! You've got to get over here. She is breathing okay, pretty loud.
Linda:
Breathing loudly
Chantelle:
You can do this. God, I’m going to have to deliver it, aren’t I? It’s alright, I’ve watched Call the Midwife. And I won’t tell anyone I’ve seen your… you’re safe with me. I need a bit of this.
