r/CallTheMidwife

I'm rewatching for the 100th time and I firmly believe that Sister Ursula was the reason Sister Mary Cynthia had a full breakdown.

Sister was doing well when the team left for South Africa and by the time they got back, she was severely broken.

Plus, Sister Ursula looked horrified at the idea of delivering a baby at Nonnatus, and I think she would have been shite at delivering a baby in general. I know she worked at a cottage hospital that was shut down, but some Sisters aren't good midwives and I think Sister Ursula caused very bad things to happen. Not to mention she had zero idea how district visits worked and the difference between them and hospital treatments.

Ugh, I'm so angry at that woman.

She’s absolutely despicable and deserves more hate! PrOnTo!!!!

And Avril Fox deserves more love. She ended up being one of the kindest souls in Call the Midwife!

In the episode where all of the student midwives come to Nonnatus, there is a scene where all of the midwives and students are on their bikes and then ride off together. I was just watching that scene again and I noticed that Nurse Anderson is not riding her bike, but running beside it. Did anyone else notice this?

I noticed that in the last seasons Angela and May wear matching outfits all the time, day wear and even pajamas.

Am I the only one who's slightly annoyed by it? It seems like something younger children would want, not really realistic for 11-12 year old girls.

What do you think? Did you ever want to have the same wardrobe as your sibling?

Sister Veronica gets a moped because she can't bicycle far due to her health. What happened to Sister Evangelina's? Or was the one she and Fred rode belonging to someone else?

This line is something I repeated to myself the entire time I was recovering from a breakdown, but I also quote it to many people.

I love it so much.

It's currently in use by a very good friend who is fighting her own mental health battle alongside watching her mother succumb to the big C. I'd like to think it's helping.

To everyone out there fighting a battle of their own: You are wanted. You are loved. You are worthy. You are enough.

And one day, you will feel alive again 💚

Spoilers right up to season 13!

It's always been in my mind how the only two people who shared a room with Phyllis had unhappy endings.

Barbara died

Lucille had a miscarriage, then a breakdown, nearly took her own life, left Poplar, divorced Cyril, and never returned

She loved those young women with all her heart and then lost them both

I don't count Miss Higgins as it was for only a week

Re: Kirsten from Sweden

This will absolutely cause a stir of comments and I'm ready for it!

I know it's disgusting that Kirsten's father pimped her out, but part of me adores how the entire ship seemed to care deeply about her

I'm weird, but I viewed it as them all seeing her as their communal wife and that the baby was all of theirs

But I'm a polyamorous person, so this type of "relationship" is something I am tickled by, not grossed out by

But it's not acceptable that Kirsten had been groomed into the life. I guess I try to see the happy side of things so I don't focus on the terrible truth.

where can i watch the specials? i dont live in the uk and vpn doesnt work when i try to watch it on iplayer and i dont have netflix :(

I’m watching for the first time, and I’m on s4e9. Does anyone in this show ever get a happy ending? All I see are breakups and deaths 😭

I think Sister Monica Joan would be an absolute menace.

I’m at the part where Matthew proposes to trixie. They are a very cute couple and I’m really hoping this guy sticks around for trixie because she deserves to finally find love. However does anyone find the whole storyline kinda of weird? Imagine being the midwife and nurse who delivers your wife’s baby and was there as a nurse when your wife passed away suddenly. And then a year or so later (not of the timeline) MARRY that nurse? If I was that wife I would be ROLLING in my grave!! Like out of all the people the nurse who took care of me? Idk anyone else feel this way? I feel like the writers could have brought him in a different way. But again super cute couple!

Am on my 250th (probably!) rewatch and ive just seen the Lucy Chen episode (the baby who gets sick from carbon monoxide poisoning) she mentioned her father was deported and so did the Cormorant. He also has a scouse accent so in my head he's Lucy's father!

Why was it such a big deal that Nancy had a baby as a teenager when the sisters and midwives are always so kind and understanding towards unwed mothers in their practice?

I genuinely don’t understand why everyone reacted like she had once killed someone? She was a teenager who made a mistake and was trying to make a good life for herself.

So I'm rewatching the circus episode and I just noticed 3 things.

1. It's season 9, episode 3 "Christmas Special 2020" on Netflix, but on IMDB, it's listed as season 10, episode 0?

2. Sister Julienne talks about Valerie resigning her job because she was distraught from her grandmother passing away. But her grandmother doesn't die until season 9, episode 11 "episode 8", 8 episodes later.

And 3. Netflix shows season 9 episodes as 1. Christmas Special 2019 Part 1, 2. Christmas Special 2019, Part 2, and 3. Christmas Special 2020. Were there 2 Christmas specials in 2019? I came into the show late, so didn't see all of it live.

TIA for clarification.

I looked on the PBS site and they said season 15 will be available to stream on PBS passport until June 9, 2026. Where is it available to stream now? I looked on the website and app. It’s not there. Thanks
