Casualty

[FoxLee2]

Watching Casualty last week, I was surprised when Fenisha had her baby at 32 weeks (and 3 days) and the baby wasn't put in an incubator and she's already had the baby at home and it's only a week old.

It seemed like only a few weeks ago that she announced she was pregnant!

Is this a repeat or are they still actually filming this??

[Mamyalynne]

Not repeats.

If the baby is able to feed and breathe then it is not unusual for a 33 week baby to go home after a few days. A lot of that is dependent on his birth weight.

Really? He was born at 7 months so couldn't have been that great a weight - it just seemed strange to me that he wasn't even put in an incubator.

My daughter was born by elective c section at bang on 34 weeks and was never in an incubator. She had around 5 days in hospital

Did she weigh over 3.5lbs, bednobs?

He ended up back in hospital last night. Ethan and Fenisha seem to be getting along better.

[FoxLee2]

Okay, I stand corrected - it's not so unusual then.
Going back to the storyline - is it right for Ethan not to tell Fenisha about his Huntingdon's diagnosis? You can see both sides of the dilemma - he tells her and she has 18 years of worrying before her son can be tested or he doesn't tell her and then she finds out - what price honesty between them?

[brainiac]

They nicked the Huntington's storyline from Neighbours :)

Conspiracy theory alert!!! Ethan doesn't have Huntingtons, it was his brother Cal (now departed) who had it. Never liked Cal, he just took a loan of Ethan and I wouldn't have put this past him.
