That was a shock. I thought she was out of the woods ... and then ....

I had a high school friend that died of a massive stroke after the birth of her second baby. Millions of babies are born without trouble every year, but so much can go wrong.

post-birth stroke.

My blood pressure sky rocketed at the beginning of both my third trimesters and I was put on bed-rest and only allowed to lie on my left side. I even delivered my second child lying on my left side.

First kid I lost enough blood it helped the bp come down, but the second one I hardly seemed to lose any and it took a few days for the bp to get back down again.

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. It is so easy to forget in this day and age of medical miracles that not all endings are happy ones.

BUT, on Midwife, TRIPLETS!!!

Sybill?

I haven't seen it, but have read about it ... Recorded it for tomorrow. Was wondering when it was going to happen.

and now will come the battle about the christening and whether the child will stay at Downton.

and lots of other things.

the Earl's aristocratic doctor pal was such an arrogant dick, I figured the old family doctor would be proved right. Sad, but a perfect plot setup.

I did not see it coming!

on TV?

You watched these where???

season but if you guys are just now getting to Sybil's death, I guess somehow I jumped ahead. I have spoilers if anyone is interested.

we'll ask you, by p.m., when we're that curious.

Thanks.

... so I knew it was coming since season 3 aired there already, just wasn't sure which eppy.

The rest of the season ... fasten your seatbelts.

from this episode and 'hints' about the next. Looking forward, I guess, and intersperse with The West Wing, for REALITY!!!

that horrible death scene. It really had an impact on me. God, I am just WAY too caught up in this show.

remember Lavinia

We had to tape it last night and watch tonight.

Lord G might want to watch his back. Son-in-lawyer is questioning his investment strategies and the Mrs. isn't happy with him.

Cora also seems kind of passive, so he might want a food tester.

I love this show.

Lord and Cora more likely to remain, imo; Mary and son-in-lawyer not so sure.

Cora still wants to sleep without Lord G, she said 'I'm never against you, but you've lost on this one,' Tom wants daughter to be christened Catholic, and something about a knife in the prison and Bates.

mentioned that the Downton episode has drastically shot up awareness about eclampsia.

having my own experiences with PIH and my cousin nearly dying from HELLPS, I am more acutely aware than the average person.

With everybody.
