My latest post on AO3 is not a fic but an overview of labor statistics for Call the Midwife Series 1-12. You can get a quick look at the mums, birth locations, if it was on screen, nurses/doctors present, baby number and gender, and any other medical notes. I was doing this for my own fic writing but thought I would share for any others who might find it helpful.

Valerie: You're coming with us?
Sr J: Where would I be, if not alongside you? You were born into our hands. Your trials are ours.

Ok totally late to the party but I saw your post about casually say Valerie Dyer in Call the Midwife is a lesbian and OMG THANK YOU SOMEONE ELSE SAID IT!!! Also I swear Phyllis and Miss Higgins are totally together but super secretly and yeah 🥰🥰
Oh My God, Thank you! I always felt that she was a lesbian but it was never explored because she couldn't explore it in poplar where she knows absolutely everybody - it would get out so quickly!
I imagine that when she ends up wherever she's going and she has some healing time l that she is able to explore that part of herself more fully and more safely. I would love them to do a little reunion episode where everyone comes back and Valerie and Patsy meet and immediately realise.
Also YES! to Phyllis and Ms Higgins although I can't decide if I prefer ten year secret relationship or platonic queer best friends for them. There's a reason Phyllis was the only one to clock Patsy and Delia though.

Season 8 episode 7
Mother Mildred asks Valerie what her gran as a young woman would have thought about a service like the Brook advisory center for women. Valerie answers:
I should think she'd have danced in the streets. She once told me her first memory was being held up to kiss her mother in her coffin. She'd died giving birth to her ninth child. And her second memory was of her dad taking his belt to her older sister, who'd come home in the family way and wasn't married. When he hit her in the face, the buckle broke her tooth. It was the way things were where I come from. And where we work, now.
this is such a powerful scene, setting up the events later in the episode. If I could wish for a future plot in a coming season of the show, I'd wish for Valerie teaming up with Trixie and maybe Nancy, Joyce and Rosalind, building more support for women to have a choice about motherhood, to be safe with their decision and rooted in a caring community.

every day is just another day of missing val dyer
it’s been years but they could never make me forget you valerie my beloved <3
#me when character has a strong sense of family loyalty and is then forced to choose between that loyalty and their morals: 😍😍😍#when the morality isn’t clear cut and their family were just doing what they could in a lose-lose situation: 😍😍😍#when character still believes their family are good people but knows they need to go against them to fix the bad things they did: 😍😍😍#call the midwife#valerie dyer#ctm#mercury posting

Was considering getting back into Call the Midwife, but then remembered it's too much emotionally for me to have going in the background and switched. But not before I remembered my massive crush on Valerie Dyer

Just re-watched the finale of Series 9 and Elsie's death hits me so hard every time. The way her final wish was to see Valerie in her nurse uniform one more time, the way she said she was honoured when the cardigan of that uniform was put over her, the symbolism of the people who bring new life into the world forgiving her for her past as an abortionist, her refusing palliative pain relief as penance for her sins, and how in her last minutes she was just a grandmother sending her grandaughter out to get herself an ice cream like any other.
Will this show ever not be a masterpiece of emotion?

Valerie: I don't really know why I came in here…I don't believe in the things it does. I've tried.
Sr J: I know. But it will do those things anyway. It will shelter and it will strengthen and it will calm.
Valerie: There's going to be nothing left standing soon. Every landmark I ever knew seems to be falling down.
Sr J: I know.
Valerie: We’re going to need morphine. We need to get it ordered from the pharmacy.
Lucille: Val, that's not for you to worry about.
Valerie: And a new mattress and hopefully a pulley. She'll need glycerine swabs for her mouth.
Lucille: We can see to all of that.
Sr J: We are going to nurse your grandmother…you simply have to care for her.
