I can't believe I never noticed that, especially as my latest birth had a tricky stuck placenta.<br /><br />I have often wondered why they never breastfeed on soaps. The only way it would happen would be if they could make some kind of special storyline out of it. It can't just be normalised and part of everyday, like you say sitting on the sofa with your boobs hanging out, lol!<br /><br />Did anyone notice when Sonia was helping deliver Pearl that she said she could see the head? Her eyes weren't even at the same level as Kim's foof, let alone was she peering up there!! :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941752338886548224.post-5085500861241398442015-04-26T12:45:50.350+01:002015-04-26T12:45:50.350+01:00I love how your photo at the bottom is on the Quay...I love how your photo at the bottom is on the Quay in Exeter, my home town!

It was the part after lunch (all eaten up and no throwing of food etc) when Lucy ( the toodler), laid quietly in her bed reading a book/wispering to her dolls whilst the baby Tom slept in the cot next to the bed! But it got better...mummy was downstairs reading a book/writing a letter! Where was the massive pile of washing up/laundry to wade through? And if you didn't have thus to go why was mummy not asleep as well? Well because said darlings slept through and mummy gets to sleep at night. Shirley Hughes clearly does not have children and this book can go back to granny's house. Had to drink wine to recover from reading such lies!Little miss Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803442036590039792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941752338886548224.post-2682369789921378172015-04-25T20:19:55.483+01:002015-04-25T20:19:55.483+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Little miss Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07803442036590039792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941752338886548224.post-85425257194932923872015-04-25T19:04:18.041+01:002015-04-25T19:04:18.041+01:00A great post - made me chuckle :) It's so true...A great post - made me chuckle :) It's so true that soaps make having a baby look so easy - having a child doesn't seem to be such a life-changing event in soap land!Emmahttp://www.2point4travel.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1941752338886548224.post-80078074195446068962015-04-25T18:14:21.477+01:002015-04-25T18:14:21.477+01:00Lol!
