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.

[sissytobitch10seconds]

I rejoice when we get Nurse Crane and Barbara so soon together but despair when we got to the Trixie/Tom engagement arc and the episode about the Amos family.

[fencesandfrogs]

thinking about that line in call the midwife again..."i'm sorry i lost my temper" / "i'm sorry you felt like the only way to get your voice heard was to shout" like oh...okahy.......

Welcome to Letters2fiction!

The concept here is to send in a question or a letter request, and you’ll get a response from your fictional character of choice, from the list below. Please stick to the list I’ve made, but of course, you can ask if there’s some other characters I write for, I don’t always remember all the shows, movies or books I’ve consumed over the years and I’m sure I’m missing a lot 😅

Call the Midwife: Barbara.

Chalk doesn't rub out as completely as you think.

[thatvampireblog]

I can't be the only Ghosts fan who followed Charlotte Ritchie over from "Call the Midwife" instead of following the six idiots from project to project, and therefore I CANNOT be the only one thinking about Ghost!Barbara.

Like.....Stuck in that hospital with so many other lost souls, twisting her little grass engagement ring around her finger, watching her friends carry on with their work and even though they can't see or hear her, she continues to talk to them as if they can.

Hang on i need a minute

[fully-embracing-my-autopsy]

Nurse Barbara Gilbert (Hereward)

She's so sweet

With Barbara I won't go into detail with all the different identities. She's sweet, and well meaning, but her father and fiance (husband) are men of the cloth, and she's also a stickler for the law/rules

If it was legalized, she'd accept it. But it's not legal, and you'd be better off not telling her

For your own safety and peace of mind

CTM characters and LGBTQ+ identities: what are their stances/are they supportive

S1 Characters

Please note this is my personal take and if you disagree that's fine but please don't come to this post if you're just going to argue with me

Nurse Jenny Lee

Lesbian/sapphic: I think she'd be okay with it. It'll take her some adjusting at first, but given time I think she'll be okay

Lesbians who don't use she/her: might not understand it but if it's what works for you she's chill

Bisexual: "wait hold on I think that's me" once you've explained it to her

Pansexual/polysexual/omnisexual/mspec: "there's more than one kind of attraction like this?" She'd be fine with it

Gay/Vincian/Achillean: same as lesbian

Trans: it'll take her some time, but if she adjusted easily from calling Sister Bernadette to calling her Shelagh, I think she won't have any issues not deadnaming you. Might take a little more effort gendering you correctly, but she tries

Nonbinary/agender/genderqueer/any flavor of not binary trans identities: same as trans. Might struggle a little more with understanding genderfluid peeps

Intersex: I'd love to say she'd be accepting. Maybe later seasons Jenny, but not season one. (I think this was s2) but there was a baby born with CF and she looked so uncomfortable. She would take a long time to understand. She'll want to understand, have a million questions about how a baby can be born like this. Of course it's not always visible or obvious that a baby isn't perisex, but if she were to find out after doing her routine checkups on the newborn. Ngl, she'd probably suggest corrective surgery in instances it calls for it. She means well, but doesn't understand how harmful it is. Even after having it explained. Older Jenny (narrator) would probably understand it better

Xenogenders: she wouldn't understand. She might accept it and say you do you, or might look at you strangely and try to limit her interactions but still be polite to your face and then talk about it with Trixie and Cynthia, wondering how someone could identify like that

Same with neopronouns and they/them pronoun users

I get the feeling she'd have an easier time with binary trans people :(

Asexual and aromantic spec ppl: I think she'll find demiromantic and demisexual and latch onto it. This one I'm sure she'd understand and accept

Invisible Wounds Are The Hardest To Heal - Call The Midwife

[vivianmaryhartleys]

Call the Midwife → 7x06

Hundreds of miles from home, and not a penny in the bank, and him nowhere to be seen. And I’m not brave, not anymore. And I hate him for it. For leaving me here. God forgive me, but I do. And I hate that I hate him, because I’ve loved him all my life.

[procrastinatingalways]

Next Chapter of She Was a Nun is up! How would Barbara react to the news? We know she has her awkward moments so I hope I have captured that for everyone. Sorry this took so long, lots of internal debates on when it was best to see Barbara learn the news.

[scully-deserves-better]

“You’ve been the very best friend I could’ve had” -Our girl Barbara asking Phyllis to be her bridesmaid

[we-stan-the-turners]

Just the name of this song has me sobbing great big ugly tears

[protectiveshelagh]

Barbara: Do you think I could fit fifteen marshmallows into my mouth?

Trixie: You’re a hazard to society.

Timothy: And a coward. Do twenty.
