I rarely watch it but did tonight and agree with you pasta - very emotional indeed! I'm sure they wouldn't show us the details if things didn't have a happy ending but I was holding my breath until baby Nathan took his first one!
Himself was v difficult to contact on boy #1 (they sent him home and tried to get him back in the middle of the night - he got there with HOURS to spare although it didn't feel like it). He redeemed himself on girl by delivering her (or dropping on her on the floor, depending upon your point of view).
@sherrard...one dad tonight was there the whole time,then popped out to get coffee. The baby then popped out while he was gone. One of the midwives said it was like a salmon jumping......;-0
