Any NZ Shortland street fans? (Yes, it is on topic!)

It made such a change to see a birth as I would like to have one (not in bed)!! Cathy Are you a kiwi too? I'm in Wellington :-) I didn't see it because I can't stand Shortland Street but it sounds like a nice change from the stereo typical hospital birth scene :-) A Yep, I'm in Tauranga. I only watch Shortland Street because sometimes it is nice to have junk t.v. on (and I'm a sucker for any baby scenes at the moment, hence Friends and E.R)! The scene certainly wasn't stereotypical, which amazed me. Especially as one a few weeks earlier was the typical woman lying on a bed scene. Cathy |

When Waverly was handed the baby - about 5 seconds after the birth - it had clearly somehow managed to have a very thorough bath (aside from an artistic streak of red on its forehead). And it looked at least three months old! I mean, I know Waverly was late - but surely not that late? Kirsty - mummy to DD aged 11 weeks |

But I do see that Waverley still has a bit of a jelly-belly, so they're trying to get some things right!! Cathy |

She only found out she was pregnant in the final episodes before Christmas. She'd had a miscarriage probably only about 6 weeks beforehand. She only just started getting signs of morning sickness around that time so assuming she got pregnant straight away that means she should have been due early August. Of course TV always seems to speed up pregnancies. |

Having seen the final episode of Friends, with Erica giving birth lying on a bed (as did Rachelk many episodes earlier), I was expecting to see much the same from Waverley.

It made such a change to see a birth as I would like to have one (not in bed)!! Any more details? I've just come back from holidaying in the UK and now totally out of touch with SS. Quick synopsis of the last four weeks..? : -- Maggie |

No mention of her breastfeeding, but I suppose she is. With Shannon's baby they had a few scenes of Shannon trying to latch the baby on. Sticky is flatting with Toni, and of course Barb has the wrong idea. And Dom is back, running the new plastics unit. I can't actually remember any more - does the TVNZ website have anything, if you really want to find out? Cathy |

TVNZ site only has the short teaser stuff for each ep, not a rundown of what happened. Watched last night and managed to figure out most of it anyway! -- Maggie |
