Also Dan not even wanting to say vagina


Actually so glad Louise called him right out on that. I'm definitely meh on her in general but she was enjoyable in the video and I actually wanted to cheer with that particular correction.
I was thinking about you while watching it -- I don't know how severe yours is, but my sister has what I'd probably class as moderate tokophobia, and would be uncomfortable watching the video. I don't think it would affect her to the point of tears or lasting discomfort though, just squirming and possibly needing to not watch the whole thing at once. It's not super graphic and they don't go in for any kind of shock factor, just carefully framed facts.Catallena wrote: Wed Oct 18, 2017 7:28 pm I'm waiting a bit with the Louise video to figure out by the hand of reviews here and on Twitter how badly it'll trigger tokophobia
Being in the medical professional I love this so much, I am just about to watch the video so will come back with my opinion after but this photo reminded me of a funny personal story.fancy_nancy wrote: Wed Oct 18, 2017 7:09 pmDeppy's face when hearing what an episiotomy is, is the best thing I have ever seen![]()
Thank you for thinking of me omg. Lovely @liola put some advice on what she thought could probably be triggering in a private message and with that I was able to watch the video in small parts with breaks. I was uncomfortable throughout most of it, but there were thankfully no pictures of which really helped. Plus I was quite distracted by Depz and their answers.. why are men like this :')SneakyLizard wrote: Wed Oct 18, 2017 8:23 pmI was thinking about you while watching it -- I don't know how severe yours is, but my sister has what I'd probably class as moderate tokophobia, and would be uncomfortable watching the video.

I wanted to be a midwife at one point though, so my perspective is quite different and I have an interest here already and no triggers to worry about... Maybe wait till some kind soul does timestamps and then decide if it's something you feel comfortable watching![]()
I was wondering about that too, on my screen at least it looked like Dan was slightly out of focus? I agree it wasn't centered very well.DatCog wrote: Wed Oct 18, 2017 9:07 pm Re. Louise video: does it bother anyone else that the footage doesn't seem to be properly centred on the 3 of them...or is it just me?![]()
Re. episiotomies
Not just you, have just started watching it and paused it to come here to complain about how off camera Dan is. Didn't they check the position before they started filming.DatCog wrote: Wed Oct 18, 2017 9:07 pm Re.

i agree with you-- in these collabs, phil tends to come across as a third wheel. dan & phil & louise are way too much all at once.missemma wrote: Wed Oct 18, 2017 9:46 pm I'll admit (don't come for me) that I think I would have preferred the video just with Dan as I kinda got a bit bored with Phil coming out with wacky and random comments - such as the "i touched the babys eyebrows" and "can't you just put duct tape there".
You're the first person I've seen comment on the Spice Girls reference! I was a huuuuuuge fan when they were big (which I just realized was 20 years ago and omg i feel old!!!) so I loved the sneaky little reference. I feel like they've been making a lot more song references recently (though this one might've been Louise...i don't remember)twix wrote: Wed Oct 18, 2017 10:36 pm
highlights
- dnp's faces upon learning about episiotomies
- louise's face upon learning about dan's past placenta facination
- louise roasting dan's inability to say "vagina"-- i wonder if he thinks the word itself might lead to demonetization; it reminded me of that one gaming video where he referred to a female orgasm as "a lady finishing her process" (obviously not equivalent contexts & situations, but the same sort of discomfort)
