0:00:02 > 0:00:04- She's done nothing wrong.- We haven't either.- We betrayed her.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07- He's not getting his home repossessed.- They won't do that.
0:00:07 > 0:00:08How do you know, Rick?
0:00:08 > 0:00:11- Dad, this is Roanna.- Hello.
0:00:11 > 0:00:15We both decided we needed to keep things professional at work.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18I want to be able to tell people that you are the father of my baby.
0:00:18 > 0:00:20Are you all right with that, Chris?
0:00:20 > 0:00:22MUSIC: Wonderful World by Rebecca Ferguson
0:01:04 > 0:01:09"Don't give your baby water. Don't use regular washing powder.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12"Don't use bubble bath. Don't use talcum powder.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14"Don't expose 'em to sunlight.
0:01:14 > 0:01:18"Don't pick her up every time she cries or she'll cry even more.
0:01:18 > 0:01:20"Don't let baby cry too long
0:01:20 > 0:01:23"or she'll become traumatised and might get a hernia.
0:01:23 > 0:01:25"Don't let her sleep on her back or she'll choke.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28"Don't let her sleep on her stomach or she might suffocate.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30"Fortunately, I don't have to worry about the sleep thing,
0:01:30 > 0:01:34"because she doesn't sleep and neither do I."
0:01:34 > 0:01:36"She likes to feed every seven and a half minutes,
0:01:36 > 0:01:40"consequently, I have cracked and bleeding nipples..."
0:01:40 > 0:01:42- So do I and achy boobs. - Yeah, me too.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46- My mum says if you put cabbage leaves on your boobs, it'll take the pain away.- I'll try that.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49I can get you some cabbages, I've got loads on the allotment.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52There are a lot of don'ts in your blog, Kim?
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Yeah, well, I just wrote down things I've either read or people have said to me.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58I only said don't pick her up every time she cries,
0:01:58 > 0:02:02- cos I thought you needed to get some sleep.- I can't just leave her to cry, Susie!
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Sorry, I'm a bit tired.
0:02:04 > 0:02:05We know how you feel, don't we, Dev?
0:02:05 > 0:02:08- Dev?! - DEV SNORTS
0:02:08 > 0:02:12We're both knackered cos we share getting up in the night, I express me milk and he does second feed,
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- I have to give him a prod like. - I always wake up.
0:02:14 > 0:02:17Then you stand watching me, cos you think I'm going to choke her or summat.
0:02:17 > 0:02:21No, I don't! That's complete bollocks! Excuse my French.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23Oh, I think it's a mother's instinct to wake up,
0:02:23 > 0:02:25it was the same when I had my other two.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29Three o'clock in the morning, I open my eyes and two minutes later Sonny starts to whimper.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Right then, I think we're all agreed that having a crying baby
0:02:32 > 0:02:36or a baby that won't sleep can cause a lot of stress for the parents.
0:02:36 > 0:02:40- Sorry, can you just take over for me a minute? Thank you.- Sure. Are you OK?
0:02:40 > 0:02:43Yeah, I just think the baby's lying on a nerve.
0:02:43 > 0:02:47So...happy relaxed parents, happy relaxed baby.
0:02:47 > 0:02:51One of the ways that you can soothe your baby if he or she's crying is by giving them a massage.
0:02:51 > 0:02:54Ohh! Sorry, I think I'm going to have to go.
0:02:54 > 0:02:57- Do you want me to come with you? - No, no, no. It's fine. - Is she all right? Dev.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- You go, I'll hold her. - No, it's all right.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Ooh!
0:03:02 > 0:03:04Ooh!
0:03:04 > 0:03:08OK, everybody, so let's carry on with the baby massage.
0:03:08 > 0:03:11Would anybody like to volunteer their baby?
0:03:11 > 0:03:14- Kim?- Oh, I'm sorry, she's...she's due her feed.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16BABY CRIES
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- Just take deep breaths. - No, honestly, I'm not in labour.
0:03:20 > 0:03:24- How do you know? You've never been in labour.- We all have, it looks like labour to me.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- Me too.- Ooh!
0:03:27 > 0:03:31There's no damage to the kidney, bladder or urethra as far as I can see,
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- so I'm just wondering whether... - Geraldine! Geraldine!
0:03:34 > 0:03:38- Don't worry, it's just her uterus stretching. Bye.- What is it?- Oh, God, I don't know.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42- I've had it all week but it's getting worse.- OK, let's get you into Assessment.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44VICKY GROANS
0:03:55 > 0:03:57Well, the baby seems happy.
0:03:57 > 0:04:00Can I examine you, make sure nothing's going on with your cervix?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03If there's nobody else to do it.
0:04:05 > 0:04:06I could do it if you want.
0:04:09 > 0:04:10Fine.
0:04:12 > 0:04:16- She's definitely not due yet. - No, she's got another six or seven weeks left.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18- You know he's the father of her baby.- Who?
0:04:18 > 0:04:21- Him in there, Dr Bellingham.- Really?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Yeah. Yeah, but they've fallen out. He thinks he can do better.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26Bastard.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Everything's fine. Nothing happening down below.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Can you show me exactly where the pain is?
0:04:35 > 0:04:37It's mainly down this side.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39It's around here.
0:04:42 > 0:04:45- Ow!- Any other symptoms?
0:04:45 > 0:04:47Backache, heartburn, aching legs.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Apart from being pregnant, anything out of the ordinary?
0:04:49 > 0:04:52You said you felt sick the other day and that you had a headache.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54Oh, yeah. I think that's cos I hadn't eaten and then I had to work
0:04:54 > 0:04:57- through my lunch break.- I don't think we should hang about,
0:04:57 > 0:05:01let's get some bloods and I'll arrange an abdominal ultrasound as soon as possible.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02You can get dressed.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06It's him, isn't it?
0:05:06 > 0:05:08VICKY SIGHS
0:05:13 > 0:05:17So, just to finish off, take the baby's hands in yours
0:05:17 > 0:05:20and gently massage the palm with your thumb,
0:05:20 > 0:05:21round and round in a clockwise circle.
0:05:21 > 0:05:24You didn't need to snap at me in front of everyone,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27I'm only trying to help. I'm not your enemy, Kim.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30I said I was sorry. I didn't mean to snap.
0:05:30 > 0:05:35I'm tired...and I've got a lot on my mind.
0:05:35 > 0:05:36Like what?
0:05:36 > 0:05:42And there you go, one happy, relaxed, contented baby.
0:05:42 > 0:05:44APPLAUSE
0:05:47 > 0:05:51Thank you. There's some hand-outs on the table if you want to grab one.
0:05:51 > 0:05:53I suppose we'd better go and find the others.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55We could just wait here till they come back.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58Well, we've got to go to Neo-natal, haven't we?
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I'm just going to head up there.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04Guys, it's Roanna's birthday tomorrow
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- and she's been a bit down in the dumps.- Tell me about it.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10I wondered if you guys wanted to come round to the house for a drink and a bite to eat?
0:06:10 > 0:06:12Oh, yeah, I'd love that, mate.
0:06:12 > 0:06:16Yeah, well, it's my court case tomorrow, mate,
0:06:16 > 0:06:20but we'd love to come if I'm not...I'm not locked up.
0:06:20 > 0:06:23They're not going to lock you up for your first offence, you dick.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35- Are you going to go say hello to your mum?- What for? She said she never wanted to see me again.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38We say a lot of things in anger we don't mean, Jude.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Your mum loves you. She's just upset you did a bloody stupid thing.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45Yeah, well, I'm trying to make up for it now, aren't I?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Well, you should speak to her. - I think you should speak to Kim,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51you know you want to.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56Are you going to come in, then?
0:06:56 > 0:06:58No...I'll wait here.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- Hiya.- Hi.- Hiya.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19We were going to drop Rosie off at the flat.
0:07:19 > 0:07:23- That's all right, we're going to go in and see her dad. Didn't you tell them?- I forgot.
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- I would've gone with you.- Sorry.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28Jude's in the car. I think he'd like to see you.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I'm here.
0:07:33 > 0:07:34How's she doing?
0:07:34 > 0:07:37Fine. She doesn't sleep much, though.
0:07:38 > 0:07:41Well, if you need a break, I'd love to have her...
0:07:41 > 0:07:43anytime.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47SUSIE CLEARS HER THROAT
0:07:47 > 0:07:49Right, Rosie.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51See ya later.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Do you want to go with them?
0:07:53 > 0:07:55No. Don't be stupid.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02You don't have to be here, you know.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05Yes, I do, I'm your doctor and I'm the father of the baby.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08And I'm your partner, I think.
0:08:08 > 0:08:12Although for some reason, you've hardly spoken to me in the past week or answered my texts.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16- Why do you think that is, Chris? - Well, actually... DOOR OPENS
0:08:16 > 0:08:17Sorry about that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20So, you're 33 weeks?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22Yeah, that's right. I'm nearly 34.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26- Unspecific sporadic sharp pains in the abdomen for about a week.- OK.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29I'm going to put some gel on your tummy, it might be a bit cold.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Can you lift your gown up? - Yeah, sure.
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Baby's heartbeat's fine and the cervix is normal.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- OK. Well, let's see what's going on.- Yeah.
0:08:50 > 0:08:53Sometimes it feels like the pain comes from around here.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55Right.
0:08:55 > 0:08:57Is it ever the other side?
0:08:57 > 0:08:59No, but it feels like it's everywhere,
0:08:59 > 0:09:03- it goes all the way round and then it just goes off.- Right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08Well, I can't see anything, can you?
0:09:09 > 0:09:12No...everything looks normal.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- Do you know what sex it is?- No.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Do you want to know?- Yes.- No.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Oh, sorry, I thought you were just the doctor.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I am, but we're...
0:09:25 > 0:09:29Well, Vicky's my partner and the baby's...
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Well, it's my baby. It's OK about the sex, though,
0:09:32 > 0:09:34it's whatever Vicky wants.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48- I don't think you should be on your own tonight.- Why's that?
0:09:48 > 0:09:52Well, anything could happen. You've got a temperature and...
0:09:52 > 0:09:56Oh, and they say that romance is dead. I'm just going to go home,
0:09:56 > 0:10:00I'm going to sit in front of the telly with a takeaway in me jammies.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02What if the pain comes back?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05I've got a phone.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08I didn't realise that you wanted a boy.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Well, I didn't realise I wanted a baby.
0:10:13 > 0:10:15You should be able to take her home tomorrow morning,
0:10:15 > 0:10:20- she's feeding and breathing really well.- When will we know if there's been any long-term damage?
0:10:20 > 0:10:22Only time will tell. She may be a little bit slower
0:10:22 > 0:10:25than her brother at talking and walking, things like that.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27It doesn't always follow.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Can I just say thank you? You've been...you've been fantastic.
0:10:30 > 0:10:34I...I don't even think she'd be here if it weren't for you lot,
0:10:34 > 0:10:37so...thank you very much.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Thank you.- You're welcome.
0:10:43 > 0:10:45You're coming home, baby.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47SHE SIGHS
0:10:47 > 0:10:48You're coming home.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52You're coming home!
0:11:01 > 0:11:02Oh!
0:11:03 > 0:11:05SHE SIGHS
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- DOORBELL RINGS - OK. I'll just...I won't be a minute!
0:11:15 > 0:11:17Two seconds!
0:11:21 > 0:11:25- All right, you can come in now. - You don't need to tidy up for me.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28Yeah, I do, I hadn't moved a thing all week cos I didn't really feel very well.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32Well, you just get sat on the sofa and I'll do the rest, OK?
0:11:44 > 0:11:47OK. Do you have any more plates?
0:11:47 > 0:11:49Or just the ones that need washing in the sink?
0:11:49 > 0:11:54There should be two in the cupboard next to the...washing machine.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04I said feet up. Get on that sofa now!
0:12:16 > 0:12:20I know why you've not been speaking to me or returning my calls.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23Right, so why do you pretend that you don't know, then?
0:12:25 > 0:12:27Well, because I don't know what to do.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32I can't give you what you want, but I don't want to lose you.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Well, you can't have it both ways.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39I've carried this baby all this time on my own
0:12:39 > 0:12:42and I didn't tell a soul for long enough that you were the father,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44so I think that I deserve an answer!
0:12:46 > 0:12:48Why don't you want to marry me?
0:12:50 > 0:12:53It's not you I don't want to marry.
0:12:55 > 0:13:00I just...don't necessarily believe you have to be married in order to...
0:13:00 > 0:13:01Yeah, well, I do!
0:13:01 > 0:13:05- And you're only saying that cos your parents got divorced.- Maybe, I don't know.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10- It was traumatic for my sister and I. - Yeah, well, my parents got married when they were 20 and 22
0:13:10 > 0:13:15and they've been together for nearly 35 five years and all my memories are happy childhood times.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Well, you're lucky, cos you're the exception, believe me.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Right.
0:13:22 > 0:13:25So how are we going to resolve this, then?
0:13:31 > 0:13:33I can't marry you, Vicky.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36- Right, then I would like you to leave.- Will you just listen?
0:13:36 > 0:13:39No. No, sorry, I don't want to hear it!
0:13:39 > 0:13:42You don't want to marry me because you think you can do better than me
0:13:42 > 0:13:45and you're coming up with all this crap to try and justify it.
0:13:45 > 0:13:47You go and marry your anaesthetist,
0:13:47 > 0:13:50you know, Jane or whatever she's called.
0:13:53 > 0:13:54DOOR SLAMS
0:13:54 > 0:13:56SHE SOBS
0:13:56 > 0:13:57Vicky?
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Vicky, please!
0:14:12 > 0:14:13PHONE BUZZES
0:14:18 > 0:14:21- What's up?- Who is it?
0:14:21 > 0:14:25Yeah. OK, I'll be there as soon as I can.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30There's a problem with Rosie. I've got to go round to Neil's.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36I was beginning to think this day would never come.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38Oh, we're really going to miss her.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40And look at your handsome daddy,
0:14:40 > 0:14:42he's put his best suit on take you home.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- Yeah...- He has to go to court today.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- Oh, really. Well, good luck with that, then.- Thanks.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- Sorry I'm late. I slept in! - Oh, you're still here, then?
0:14:51 > 0:14:54Yeah. I've got another six and half weeks left yet.
0:14:54 > 0:14:56No, I just thought after last night...
0:14:56 > 0:14:59- Oh.- Dr Bellingham said you weren't coming in today.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Well, Dr Bellingham got it wrong.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03- How are you feeling?- Oh, yeah, a lot better, thanks.
0:15:03 > 0:15:06- I think I'm just getting to back end so...- I don't think you should be at work
0:15:06 > 0:15:10and I've brought Janet in to cover for you. Why don't you go home and have a rest?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13- We'll leave you to it, then.- I'll see you tomorrow, I'm doing your home visit.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Oh, great! See you.- See you. Thanks for everything again. Thank you.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19It's his court hearing today.
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Oh, no! I hope he goes on all right,
0:15:22 > 0:15:25how will she cope with all them kids if he gets locked up?
0:15:25 > 0:15:28God only knows. Let's hope it don't come to that.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Where is he then, Lord Nibs?
0:15:31 > 0:15:34He's doing an emergency C-section, but he should be finished soon.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Do you want to wait? I'll put the kettle on. We've got cake.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45No, you're all right. I've waited long enough for him.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49I'll ring you! See you!
0:15:54 > 0:15:56I heard Dinah crying, got up, came in here.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Saw Jude weren't on the sofa, so I went into Rosie's room and there he was in her bed.
0:15:59 > 0:16:02It was her fault, cos she said I could stay in her room.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04Oh, yeah, that's right, blame it on me.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06I said you could if you wanted to,
0:16:06 > 0:16:08cos you keep going on about it being your bed.
0:16:08 > 0:16:10It seems they had unprotected sex again last night.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12I'm sick to death of telling you about using condoms.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14I can't keep my eye on 'em 24/7.
0:16:14 > 0:16:16- God knows what they get up to when I'm at work.- OK.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20The first thing is to get you the morning-after pill and I think Jude should go home.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- I'm not going anywhere without Dinah.- She's staying with me.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36Oi!
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- What do you think you're doing?! - Just what I'm told.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- This is 14 Elgood Road, in't it? - Yeah, so?
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- No, there's been a mistake. - There's me instructions.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51Told you.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Right, listen. Listen. When I get back from the court, I'll sort this out, all right?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59They've got it wrong. Don't worry, OK? It'll be all right.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- BABIES CRY - It's all right. Let me just get the babies out.
0:17:06 > 0:17:08BABIES CRY
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- Take it now.- I can't take a tablet without a drink, it'll get stuck in me throat.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24OK, well, as soon as we get home.
0:17:24 > 0:17:28I don't know what you were thinking! You could've ended up pregnant again.
0:17:28 > 0:17:32I was upset over me dad, they don't think he'll ever be able to look after himself again.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- It's horrible.- I'm sorry about that, Rosie,
0:17:34 > 0:17:37but that's even more reason for you to be careful.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41I'm responsible for you. This can't happen again, do you hear?
0:17:41 > 0:17:45Maybe you should think about going on the pill.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48I can't take it cos me mum died of breast cancer.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53PHONE RINGS
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- Hello?- All right, pal.
0:17:58 > 0:18:02- You all right, mate? How are you getting on?- Yeah, all right, yeah.
0:18:02 > 0:18:04No, listen, I just wondered...
0:18:04 > 0:18:07do you fancy...coming to court with me today?
0:18:07 > 0:18:09Oh, mate, I can't, I'm sorry,
0:18:09 > 0:18:14- she's got a million jobs lined up for us. You know I would if I could. - Yeah. No, no, I just...
0:18:14 > 0:18:17I just thought you might need an excuse to get out the house.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20But no worries, no worries.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25Just a bit freaked out, to be honest, you know, with everything that's happening.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29- I've never been in court before, have I, so...- You'll be cool, mate, just tell 'em like it was. Yeah?
0:18:29 > 0:18:32You were totally skint and desperate. You did it for your kids.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Yeah, yeah. No, cheers, Dev.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37I reckon that you'll get a suspended sentence,
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- but you'll have it over with and you can get on with the rest of your life.- Yeah, I know.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42I hope so, pal. I hope so.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46- Anyway, I'd better get going, so... - All right, mate.- I'll speak to you later, yeah?
0:18:46 > 0:18:48All right, pal, see you.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- DOORBELL RINGS - Yeah, I'm coming!
0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Hiya.- Hiya. This is a nice surprise.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09- You're still here, then?- Yeah.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11I didn't know you had a home visit booked. Come through.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- Oh, no, I'm not here as your midwife, I've just come to see you. - Oh, that's great.
0:19:15 > 0:19:18That's really nice.
0:19:18 > 0:19:22I went into work, but Chris told them I weren't coming in, so Geraldine had got cover for me.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24Well, I'm not surprised after last night.
0:19:24 > 0:19:27- We all thought you'd gone into labour.- I don't know what the hell that was,
0:19:27 > 0:19:30but it seems to have settled down now.
0:19:30 > 0:19:35- Oh, right, so they didn't find anything on your ultrasound? - Well...just a willy.
0:19:35 > 0:19:40- I found out I'm having a boy. - Oh, that's lovely!
0:19:40 > 0:19:43- Did you want a boy?- I wasn't too bothered,
0:19:43 > 0:19:45but it turned out Chris did.
0:19:45 > 0:19:48Don't matter what he wants, he deserves jack shit.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50I thought we were making progress last night,
0:19:50 > 0:19:53he told the sonographer that he was the father of the baby.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55Big bloody deal, he is the frigging father.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58PHONE RINGS
0:20:00 > 0:20:02Hiya, babe. How are you doing?
0:20:02 > 0:20:07I'm at the booze section. Do you think we should take wine or beer or both?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Oh, I don't know, a nice bottle of wine. And it's her birthday, so get us a card and a box of chocolates.
0:20:11 > 0:20:13Don't forget me cabbages, though!
0:20:14 > 0:20:17BABY WAILS
0:20:18 > 0:20:20I'll...I'll have to go. I'll see you later. Bye!
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Dev? He's gone!
0:20:25 > 0:20:26BABY WAILS
0:20:26 > 0:20:27HUBBUB
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Excuse me. Excuse me. Move, move, move!
0:20:35 > 0:20:38- Is this your van, sir?- Yeah. - And your baby?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Yeah, I forgot her, all right. She's new.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42I ain't quite got me brain round things yet.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry,
0:20:45 > 0:20:47What are you doing?! SHUTTER CLICKS
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I was so chuffed when he said he was the dad.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52Oh, well, I've glad you've come to see me.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56Me mum, me dad and me nan can't stand Chris,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58they think he's a prize prat.
0:20:58 > 0:21:02- Well, he is. Coffee or tea? - Oh, tea, please.
0:21:03 > 0:21:06Yeah, I know he's a prat, but it don't stop me loving him.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08I think this whole love thing's totally overrated.
0:21:08 > 0:21:10I used to think that I loved Jack,
0:21:10 > 0:21:12it turned out I didn't love him at all.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16- Milk?- Please.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24I was with Matthew for six and a half years before I met Chris.
0:21:24 > 0:21:30Now, he was a proper prat. I found out he'd been shagging a friend of mine behind me back for five months.
0:21:30 > 0:21:32Sally saw 'em in Nando's holding hands.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36And then three months later, Chris started at St Catherine's.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40The first time I saw him me heart went all fluttery.
0:21:40 > 0:21:44He used to tease me about wearing me make-up and having a fake tan
0:21:44 > 0:21:48and I used to tease him about being all nerdy and posh, you know.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I could tell that he fancied me, though, cos I used to catch him
0:21:51 > 0:21:56looking at me and he were all dead twinkly when I talked to him.
0:21:56 > 0:22:00Then one Friday night, I'd assisted on a C-section
0:22:00 > 0:22:04and he asked me if I wanted to go for a drink.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08And I ended up going back to his flat...
0:22:08 > 0:22:10and I stayed there all weekend.
0:22:11 > 0:22:14Jasmin. Jasmin!
0:22:15 > 0:22:19- Oh, sorry, I must've dozed off! - Sorry, I just didn't want you to spill your tea.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23- Look, I'm going to go and let you get some rest.- No, no, it's fine, honestly. Sit down.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25I don't know where the bloody hell he's got to,
0:22:25 > 0:22:28me boobs are filling up, it must be her feed time.
0:22:28 > 0:22:32I'll give you an extra tenner, mate, if you can get a move on. She's due a feed, yeah.
0:22:32 > 0:22:33PHONE RINGS
0:22:37 > 0:22:41It's funny, he's not answering. I hope everything's all right.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44- It will be.- It's weird...
0:22:44 > 0:22:49but every time I'm not with her, I get scared summat's going to happen to her.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52Cos if you think about it a million things could go wrong.
0:22:52 > 0:22:55It's not that I don't trust Dev, it's just..
0:22:57 > 0:22:59..I don't know what I'd do without her.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04Maybe his phone's gone down or he hasn't got a signal.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06I don't know what he's doing,
0:23:06 > 0:23:10he only went to get a couple of cabbages for me boobs and a bottle of wine for party.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Whose party is it?- I thought you knew about it?
0:23:13 > 0:23:17- It's a surprise party for Roanna's birthday. Si's organising it.- Oh.
0:23:17 > 0:23:20We're all going. He's even invited Geraldine.
0:23:20 > 0:23:22Well, yeah, she delivered her so...
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Oh, he'll definitely want you there.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27I think he thought you were working, that's why he didn't ask you.
0:23:27 > 0:23:30I wouldn't be able to go anyway, I get too tired of a night.
0:23:30 > 0:23:32Oh, it's starting early and it's not going to go on for long.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35Come with us if you like, we're picking Diane and Rick up.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39- DEV SIGHS We're back!- About bloody time! Where have you been? She wants feeding.
0:23:39 > 0:23:42Sorry, sweetheart, I got a puncture, I had to get it fixed.
0:23:42 > 0:23:47- Are you hungry, my little treasure? - Hiya. Still here, then?- Yep, I'm still here, still pregnant.
0:23:49 > 0:23:54Richard Anthony Manning, you have pleaded guilty to aggravated robbery
0:23:54 > 0:23:57and I have read your statement very carefully
0:23:57 > 0:23:59and that of the young bank clerk that you demanded the money off.
0:23:59 > 0:24:02Yeah, I'm really sorry about that, I hope she's OK.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07- You don't need to comment, I have everything written down here.- Oh.
0:24:07 > 0:24:11Clearly you had no regard for the young woman, she was 19 years of age
0:24:11 > 0:24:13and had only worked at the bank for ten months.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17No, no, honestly, honestly, I didn't mean to frighten her, Miss.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20Nevertheless, you did and I'm not "Miss".
0:24:20 > 0:24:23You refer to me as My Lady.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, My Lady.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29I appreciate that you were under a lot of financial strain,
0:24:29 > 0:24:32having been made redundant some five months earlier,
0:24:32 > 0:24:36but there are many people today who are experiencing financial difficulties,
0:24:36 > 0:24:38they don't all go out and rob a bank.
0:24:38 > 0:24:42- But my wife was pregnant... - So I gather.- ..with twins.
0:24:42 > 0:24:46Aggravated robbery is a serious offence.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Normally, I would give a custodial sentence of three to four years,
0:24:50 > 0:24:54but I've taken into consideration this is your first offence... VOICE ECHOES AND DISTORTS
0:24:54 > 0:24:57..and there were mitigating circumstances.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02BIRDSONG
0:25:12 > 0:25:16- Thanks for ringing me.- I'm sorry.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19It wasn't the sort of thing you could tell someone on the phone.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24I think it's best if Jude came home.
0:25:24 > 0:25:28- He can come home any time he likes. - He won't without Rosie and the baby.
0:25:34 > 0:25:36They can all come home.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44You didn't tell me they were selling the house.
0:25:44 > 0:25:46I'll go get 'em.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50I wonder how he got on at court?
0:25:50 > 0:25:52Shit! I forgot about that.
0:25:59 > 0:26:00- Oh!- Oh, my God! What's the matter?
0:26:00 > 0:26:05- I'm sorry I forgot to ring you, I'm not going to go to the party. - Why not?- Come in!
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Oh, Diane!
0:26:13 > 0:26:15It's Rick, isn't it?
0:26:15 > 0:26:17He got time.
0:26:17 > 0:26:20- Ten month.- No way, he's not a criminal.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I don't know how I'm going to manage without him.
0:26:23 > 0:26:25Oh, I'm so sorry!
0:26:25 > 0:26:27DIANE SOBS
0:26:27 > 0:26:30He rang me. You know, it didn't even sound like him,
0:26:30 > 0:26:32his voice was so shaky.
0:26:32 > 0:26:37I knew I should've gone with him. Me mum said she'd look after the kids, but he said he didn't want me there.
0:26:37 > 0:26:39Well, I suppose he didn't want to put you through it.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42His solicitor thought he'd get a suspended sentence.
0:26:42 > 0:26:45- Yeah, that's what me and Dev thought.- Or community service.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48I can't believe they've sent him to prison on a first offence.
0:26:48 > 0:26:50It's going to be in all the papers again.
0:26:52 > 0:26:55SHE SOBS And I've got an appointment with the bank tomorrow!
0:26:55 > 0:26:59Oh, well, if me and Dev can do owt, look after kids or anything, just give us a shout.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02- GRAN:- Come and eat your tea, Sam!
0:27:03 > 0:27:08- Right, get your coat on, you're coming with us.- I can't. I honestly don't feel like it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09It'll make you feel better.
0:27:09 > 0:27:14Just go for an hour and if you want to come home, Dev will always bring you.
0:27:14 > 0:27:16Come on.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I suppose I could ask my mum to look after the babies
0:27:22 > 0:27:25- and just take the kids with me.- Yeah.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27And you don't have to tell anybody anything.
0:27:29 > 0:27:32It'll do you good to get out of the house.
0:27:32 > 0:27:34- Oh, come here. - DIANE SOBS
0:27:42 > 0:27:44Bloody hell! Look at this!
0:27:44 > 0:27:46Proper loaded.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Right, let's do it.
0:27:49 > 0:27:50DOORBELL
0:27:53 > 0:27:57- Hey, come in. She's not here yet. - I'm Simon's mum.- Pleased to meet you.- Pleased to meet you.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01- Where's Rick?- Oh, he's stayed at home with the twins,
0:28:01 > 0:28:03- it's my night off.- Oh, OK. - Hiya. You all right?
0:28:03 > 0:28:07- Yeah.- Thanks for letting me tag along.- No, don't be silly, it's lovely to see you.
0:28:07 > 0:28:11- You haven't had the baby, then? - No, not yet, I'm still here, with me bump.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13- Yeah, obviously. Right.- Hiya. - You all right?
0:28:13 > 0:28:15- PHONE RINGS - The rest are in the living room.
0:28:15 > 0:28:19- Does anyone want a drink? - Oh, isn't she adorable?!
0:28:19 > 0:28:22Oh, hello!
0:28:22 > 0:28:24- What's her name?- Amber.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26And I'm Ellie and this is me brother, Sam.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Lovely. Now, would you two children like a drink of juice and...?
0:28:30 > 0:28:33My daddy's gone to prison.
0:28:39 > 0:28:42- Orange or apple juice? - Apple, please.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45- So you all met in Parentcraft? - That's right.
0:28:45 > 0:28:48I think back in our day that was called something like Antenatal.
0:28:48 > 0:28:50Yeah, it's sort of the same thing.
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- Except now it's not just about labour.- It's more about preparing for parenthood.
0:28:54 > 0:28:56Well, all sounds very sensible.
0:28:56 > 0:29:00We certainly weren't prepared when Simon came along.
0:29:00 > 0:29:03- I think we spent the first month in complete shock.- I was with Jude.
0:29:03 > 0:29:05- You already have a child? - Yeah, that's right.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08He's not really a child... he's an adult now.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10Yeah.
0:29:10 > 0:29:14- Hey! Welcome, everybody, do come in.- Hiya.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17Make yourselves comfortable. Can I get anybody anything?
0:29:17 > 0:29:20- Just a soft drink for me, thanks, or I'll fall asleep.- Hi, I'm Dev.- John.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Oh, look at you!- Chris has been trying to get hold of you,
0:29:23 > 0:29:26- he wants you to give him a ring. - Oh, tough!
0:29:26 > 0:29:28It's to do with your CRP?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31I thought it might be something like that.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34I'll get it checked out tomorrow, OK?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Oh, she's gorgeous.
0:29:36 > 0:29:40I know. Hey, and guess what? I love her to bits.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43Just came in a big whoosh, didn't have to do anything.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- I swear to God, I think me heart must've grown a million times on day I had her.- I told you, didn't I?
0:29:47 > 0:29:49Yeah. Oh, and Emily's beautiful.
0:29:49 > 0:29:52- Thank you.- I can't believe you did it by yourself,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55- without any pain relief or anything. - Yeah, well, Neil helped.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57- I had her in a birthing pool. - Yeah, I know, I read about it.
0:29:57 > 0:30:00- And he delivered her?- Hm. - It's bloody amazing!
0:30:00 > 0:30:03I don't know how he did that.
0:30:03 > 0:30:04So, where's Rosie tonight?
0:30:04 > 0:30:09She's doing her homework and looking after Dinah.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11(Are you still at Neil's or have you gone back home?)
0:30:11 > 0:30:14You don't have to whisper, she's back home.
0:30:14 > 0:30:15And so are Jude, Rosie and the baby.
0:30:15 > 0:30:17If you want to catch up on our private life,
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- you can read all about it on her blog.- What's the matter with you?
0:30:20 > 0:30:24- Sorry, I missed a couple of days. - You don't have to be like that. - I can't help it.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28I feel like you don't want to be with me.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30I think, if you're honest, you want to be with Neil.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33- That's stupid.- No, it's not.
0:30:33 > 0:30:35I saw you that night.
0:30:35 > 0:30:38I was stood in the doorway just after he'd delivered Emily
0:30:38 > 0:30:42and he was holding you and you were looking up at him,
0:30:42 > 0:30:44you didn't even know I was there.
0:30:44 > 0:30:46The only person you saw in that room was Neil.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49And you looked at him in a way that...
0:30:49 > 0:30:52you've never looked at me.
0:30:52 > 0:30:53I'm sorry about Rick.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56I don't know why they'd lock him up, it's proper mental.
0:30:56 > 0:30:57I still can't get my head around it.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00If you need owt, you just let us know, all right?
0:31:00 > 0:31:03Yeah. We're not just saying that, we mean it.
0:31:03 > 0:31:04Thank you.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14She's here, everyone be quiet.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18I thought it was just a couple of friends, Simon.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20It's just a couple of friends.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24How many people are here?
0:31:24 > 0:31:26Just a couple of friends from Parentcraft,
0:31:26 > 0:31:29- thought it'd cheer you up. - I haven't even washed my hair.
0:31:29 > 0:31:32It doesn't matter! You look beautiful, you always do.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34I wish I believed you.
0:31:34 > 0:31:37Well, it's the truth.
0:31:37 > 0:31:39- How was Kyle and Katie? - You rang them, didn't you?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41I asked Kyle not to tell you.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Yeah, well, he's crap at lying.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Anyway, he was very sweet with me
0:31:46 > 0:31:49and Katie kissed me as I was leaving and she glanced in the pram twice.
0:31:49 > 0:31:51- SMASH! - Oh, God!
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- It wasn't my fault! - Are you sure this was a good idea?
0:31:54 > 0:31:57Your grandmother's Venetian glass!
0:32:01 > 0:32:03That is it! I am never taking you anywhere again.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Now sit down and be quiet.
0:32:06 > 0:32:07Hi, everyone.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09THEY ALL GREET ROANNA
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Come on in, birthday girl, we've been waiting for you.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14This is a nice. You're still here, then?
0:32:14 > 0:32:17If anybody else says that to me today...
0:32:17 > 0:32:18- Drink, Roanna?- Oh, no, thanks.
0:32:18 > 0:32:21Simon doesn't like me having gin when I'm breast-feeding.
0:32:21 > 0:32:23Oh, put him on the bottle, that's what I say.
0:32:23 > 0:32:25Life without a gin and tonic is not worth living.
0:32:25 > 0:32:29- Breast is best.- Well, I'm not going to argue with that.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Hi. Where's Rick?
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Oh, he was in court today, didn't go well.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Listen, I'm sorry if I was a bit snappy before,
0:32:37 > 0:32:39it's just that everyone has been saying that to me today
0:32:39 > 0:32:42and I know that I'm massive, but actually I'm only 33 weeks, so...
0:32:42 > 0:32:45Don't worry about it, darling, I was terrible when I was at the end -
0:32:45 > 0:32:48- I could've ripped someone's head off.- Oh...- Vicky, are you all right?
0:32:48 > 0:32:51- Yeah.- Do you want a hot-water bottle?- No, I'm fine. I'm fine.
0:32:52 > 0:32:56ALL: # Happy birthday to you
0:32:56 > 0:33:01# Happy birthday to you
0:33:01 > 0:33:06# Happy birthday, dear Roanna
0:33:06 > 0:33:10# Happy birthday to you. #
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Come on,
0:33:12 > 0:33:14blow out the candles.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19THEY CHEER
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- Make a wish?- I wish that I get my pre-birth figure back
0:33:22 > 0:33:24and I feel normal again as soon as possible.
0:33:24 > 0:33:27Well, that won't happen till he starts college, darling, believe me.
0:33:28 > 0:33:31And this is my present to you.
0:33:31 > 0:33:35Oh, my goodness, Si!
0:33:37 > 0:33:39Simon, how on earth did you get it?
0:33:39 > 0:33:41All I'm going to say is that I couldn't have done it
0:33:41 > 0:33:44- without your eldest son. - Really?- Yeah.
0:33:44 > 0:33:46- That makes me so happy, thank you. - It's OK, yeah.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53- Where's the chocolates? - On the hall table.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56- Oh, God, it's come back again. Ow! - I think you should ring Chris.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58No, no, it's fine, it'll pass.
0:34:01 > 0:34:03It's fine, it's only...
0:34:04 > 0:34:06Do you want to try standing up and moving around
0:34:06 > 0:34:09and see if you can get baby to move?
0:34:18 > 0:34:22No, Geraldine, it's not working, I don't feel right.
0:34:22 > 0:34:23Oh, it really hurts!
0:34:23 > 0:34:26- I feel sick, I'm going to be sick. - Simon, get a bucket or a bowl.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28Ow! Ow! It's worse than last time!
0:34:28 > 0:34:31- This is ridiculous, it could be anything.- Ah, it really hurts.
0:34:31 > 0:34:33- What's this for?- Read it.
0:34:34 > 0:34:37- I can explain.- Oh, you'd better have a good excuse or you're dead.
0:34:37 > 0:34:40Well, she can't carry on like this. She needs to go to the hospital.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42- I'll take her.- It's all right, I can take her...
0:34:42 > 0:34:45- No, you're not going anywhere. - My car is quicker than your van.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48I'll go with you. Come on. I think we need to get you to the hospital,
0:34:48 > 0:34:51- we need to monitor the baby. - I'm going to be sick!
0:34:51 > 0:34:53SHE MOANS
0:34:59 > 0:35:01Why don't you answer your bloody phone?
0:35:01 > 0:35:03- Cos I don't want to talk to you. - I'm your doctor.- You're a shit.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Well, that's as may be, but this is serious.
0:35:05 > 0:35:09I've been to your flat, I've rung your parents, I've left messages everywhere.
0:35:09 > 0:35:12- You have a raised white blood count. - You said it was high last time.
0:35:12 > 0:35:15Not like this. You have a raised CRP, there's something definitely wrong.
0:35:15 > 0:35:17There's an infection somewhere in your body.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20She needs two steroid injections, but they need to be 12 hours apart,
0:35:20 > 0:35:23so let's get one in now, just in case it's the onset of labour.
0:35:23 > 0:35:26- I can't be in labour.- I presume you've checked the baby's heartbeat?
0:35:26 > 0:35:27Yes, it's perfectly fine.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30Vicky's been sick twice on the way down here, though,
0:35:30 > 0:35:33she's got a temperature of 104, pain on her mid-right side,
0:35:33 > 0:35:37if I was to hazard a guess, I'd say it was appendicitis.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40Appendix... No, it's mid-abdomen, it would've shown up on the scan.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41But scans can be wrong,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43especially when there's a baby stuck in the way.
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I'll ring main site theatre and get Mr Ellis standing by.
0:35:48 > 0:35:49I'm not having an operation.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52You'll do as you're told. Now onto your right side.
0:35:55 > 0:35:56Small scratch coming up.
0:35:58 > 0:36:01- Ow! That hurts!- Sorry, but it's for the baby's lungs, in ca...
0:36:01 > 0:36:04- She needs some prophylactic antibiotics, as well.- I'm on it.
0:36:04 > 0:36:06- OK, let's get you down. - You go, Geraldine,
0:36:06 > 0:36:09- you're not even supposed to be here. You go. Go.- I'm not leaving you.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Well, if you are staying, can you ring the porters
0:36:12 > 0:36:13while I speak to Mr Ellis?
0:36:19 > 0:36:21I'm not having a general anaesthetic.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24- It's an open abdominal. - I don't care, it'll affect the baby.
0:36:24 > 0:36:25It's you I'm concerned about.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28- When did you last eat? - I don't remember.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- You'll have to have Lansoprazol then. - I'm not having a GA!
0:36:31 > 0:36:34I want to be conscious, I'll have a combined spinal.
0:36:34 > 0:36:36Will you stop telling me how to do my job?
0:36:36 > 0:36:38You're not having a spinal - he's going to have to move the bowel
0:36:38 > 0:36:40and the uterus, it's way too uncomfortable
0:36:40 > 0:36:42and it's too dangerous, you could end up paralysed.
0:36:42 > 0:36:45I don't care, I'm not having a general anaesthetic.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47OK, well, we'll just wait till you pass out from the pain
0:36:47 > 0:36:49- and then we'll give it to you. - Oh, he doesn't mean it,
0:36:49 > 0:36:51he's just a bit anxious.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54It's not my call, anyway, it's Mr Ellis's.
0:36:54 > 0:36:56- Is the pain still as bad or..? - It's getting worse.
0:36:56 > 0:37:00Well, let's just hope to God if it is your appendix, it hasn't perforated.
0:37:00 > 0:37:02Why, what difference would that make?
0:37:02 > 0:37:06- It's serious, that's all you need to know.- How serious?!
0:37:06 > 0:37:09Are you getting much movement from the baby?
0:37:09 > 0:37:11I don't know, cos of the pain.
0:37:11 > 0:37:13The baby's not going to die, is it?
0:37:15 > 0:37:16Is it?
0:37:23 > 0:37:27- Are you on call or...- No, I'm finished, so I'll stay with her.
0:37:27 > 0:37:30- You can go if you like. - I'll wait till she wakes up,
0:37:30 > 0:37:32but then I'll get off, cos I'm on at six.
0:37:34 > 0:37:36It was a good call with the appendix, Geraldine,
0:37:36 > 0:37:40- I don't know how I missed it. - I think we were all just focused on the baby.
0:37:41 > 0:37:44At one point during the operation I thought she might...
0:37:48 > 0:37:52We could've lost the baby and Vicky, if it had gone on much longer.
0:37:54 > 0:37:56It's best not to think about it.
0:37:56 > 0:37:58Yes.
0:37:58 > 0:38:00She's here and they're both through it.
0:38:00 > 0:38:02MACHINE BEEPS
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Baby's heartbeat keeps dipping.
0:38:04 > 0:38:07- What?- It's dropped twice now, but then it recovers pretty quick.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10- Toco line?- It's peaking a bit, what do you think?
0:38:10 > 0:38:12There's definitely uterine activity.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14Vicky?
0:38:14 > 0:38:15Wake up, Vicky!
0:38:15 > 0:38:17ECHOING: Vicky? Are you OK?
0:38:17 > 0:38:20You've had an operation. Are you OK?
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Mr Ellis has taken... You've had an operation.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27- Wake up, Vicky.- Vicky? Mr Ellis has taken the appendix out.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29ECHOING STOPS Are you OK?
0:38:29 > 0:38:32- Is the baby all right? - Yes, he's fine.
0:38:32 > 0:38:34Can you feel any tightening, sweetheart?
0:38:34 > 0:38:37- Is everything all right?- Yes, we were lucky, it hadn't perforated,
0:38:37 > 0:38:39but it was in a pretty shocking state.
0:38:39 > 0:38:43Sorry, love, but I'm going to have to examine you.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45- What's the matter? - Baby's heartbeat keeps dipping
0:38:45 > 0:38:48- and the toco line's peaking. - It could be just a glitch...
0:38:48 > 0:38:50- Mind the stitches!- ..but I just need to make sure, sweetheart.
0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Everything's nice and soft. - That's good.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57- Hang on, no, it's tightening. - Really?
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Yeah, it's definitely tightening.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03'The operation must've stimulated the uterus,'
0:39:03 > 0:39:06- it's definitely trying to go into labour.- Can't we stop it?
0:39:06 > 0:39:09We'll try, but the cervix is already short
0:39:09 > 0:39:10and dilated by two and a half centimetres.
0:39:10 > 0:39:13Oh, God, I can feel it now!
0:39:13 > 0:39:15- Try and keep still and not pull the stitches.- Let go!
0:39:15 > 0:39:17- I'm just thinking of you! - I thought she was in surgery.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20She was, they've taken her appendix out. Where are we taking her to?
0:39:20 > 0:39:23- Oh, will someone get me some entonox?- I don't know,
0:39:23 > 0:39:26- I need a drip setting up.- Where? - Assessment. Come on, sweetheart.
0:39:26 > 0:39:29Diamorphine! Gas and air! Anything, please!
0:39:30 > 0:39:31Oh!
0:39:36 > 0:39:39- Sorry, love, sorry. - Right, let's get this started.
0:39:39 > 0:39:40Too late for that -
0:39:40 > 0:39:44she's four centimetres with regular contractions, she's in full labour.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47- I've got another one coming. - Too late for the second steroid injection,
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- baby's lungs won't be ready.- She needs to go through to delivery now.
0:39:56 > 0:39:58Tell your mum I'm really sorry about the vase.
0:39:58 > 0:40:00- Don't worry about it.- Bye.
0:40:20 > 0:40:22You've turned the wrong way.
0:40:22 > 0:40:24I'm taking you to Neil's.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28I don't want to go to Neil's.
0:40:28 > 0:40:31Don't lie to me, Kim.
0:40:31 > 0:40:33We've always been honest with one another.
0:40:40 > 0:40:44HEAVY BREATHING
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Oh, God! There isn't a part of my body that isn't hurting!
0:40:49 > 0:40:52You've just been through surgery, what do you expect?
0:40:52 > 0:40:54I don't know how you're going to do this,
0:40:54 > 0:40:56you've got internal and external stitches.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58Seems like I haven't got a choice in the matter.
0:40:58 > 0:41:02- Well, you have, do you want an epidural?- No.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05No, the baby's going to be dopey enough after the anaesthetic,
0:41:05 > 0:41:06I'm going to try without.
0:41:06 > 0:41:10- Haven't you got something you should be doing?- No, I'm off duty.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Right, well, you go, cos Fiona will deliver me
0:41:12 > 0:41:14and Geraldine's going to be my birthing partner
0:41:14 > 0:41:18- so you don't have to be here.- Just stop it, will you? I want to be here.
0:41:20 > 0:41:25Believe me, Vicky, if I had to choose someone to marry,
0:41:25 > 0:41:28it definitely would be you.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30Bollocks! Oh! Oh, my God!
0:41:30 > 0:41:34- But, the thing is, I don't have a choice, because...- I didn't think it would be this bad! Oh, my God!
0:41:34 > 0:41:37Well, because... I can't marry you, because...
0:41:37 > 0:41:40- What are you rambling on about?- What I'm trying to say, rather badly,
0:41:40 > 0:41:42is I'm already technically married.
0:41:47 > 0:41:48What did you say?
0:41:51 > 0:41:55We need to pop the CTG straps back on and have a listen.
0:41:55 > 0:41:57- Who the hell to?- I'm sorry? - The baby!
0:41:57 > 0:41:59- You bastard!- I can explain,
0:41:59 > 0:42:02but I think it's best we concentrate on your labour right now.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05- Where are you going? - I'm just going to check your notes.
0:42:05 > 0:42:06Did we miss something?
0:42:06 > 0:42:09I hate him. I bloody hate...
0:42:09 > 0:42:11I hate him!
0:42:15 > 0:42:17- You're not fit to have a baby. - What are you shouting at me for?
0:42:17 > 0:42:21- It were Rick's fault. He rang me just as I was getting out the van... - What kind of parent are you?
0:42:21 > 0:42:24How can you forget your own daughter? You're proper mental, you.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28- Who's that?- Mr and Mrs Sidhwa?
0:42:28 > 0:42:33- Yeah.- Rita Milligan from Social Services, Child Protection Unit.
0:42:33 > 0:42:36We've had a report about a baby left crying in a van this morning,
0:42:36 > 0:42:38I wonder if we could have a chat?
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Is everything all right?
0:43:28 > 0:43:30Yeah, but I think we'll try you on your left lateral.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33- Is something definitely wrong? - No, I don't think so.
0:43:33 > 0:43:37- So what's going on with the trace, then?- I think it's because your seven weeks prem and baby's not had
0:43:37 > 0:43:41- much time to prepare and we only had time for one steroid injection so... - How many times has it dropped now?
0:43:41 > 0:43:45It keeps dipping, but then it recovers pretty quick when the contraction passes.
0:43:45 > 0:43:48Is it cos of the operation? I told him I didn't want a general.
0:43:48 > 0:43:51- What was it on the last one?- Just you concentrate on having this baby.
0:43:51 > 0:43:53I want to know what the last heart rate was?
0:43:53 > 0:43:55- 80.- Oh, my God.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57Yes, but it's recovering in less than a minute
0:43:57 > 0:44:00and that's not too bad, cos you're nearly ten centimetres,
0:44:00 > 0:44:02- so you're nearly ready to push. - Do you want us to ring Chris?
0:44:02 > 0:44:05- No.- Are you sure?- I thought he'd have been in by now to check on you.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07He's only bloody married, isn't he?!
0:44:07 > 0:44:11- No. I've never heard him mention a wife.- He can't be, we would have known about it.
0:44:11 > 0:44:12Maybe he's just wanting to keep it quiet.
0:44:12 > 0:44:15Oh, God, there's another one coming.
0:44:15 > 0:44:19- Do you feel like you're going to push?- Yes!- Do you want to try now? - Nice, deep breath in.- Ow!
0:44:19 > 0:44:22That's it and push the pain away. That's it. Nice and calm.
0:44:22 > 0:44:29And push. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
0:44:29 > 0:44:33- Push. Push. OK, it's dropping, 75. - OK, Vicky, stop pushing.
0:44:33 > 0:44:36- I'm going to ring Chris.- No! No!
0:44:36 > 0:44:40Don't look so worried. You've seen thousands of births.
0:44:40 > 0:44:42- I know, it's his face I don't want to see.- I know,
0:44:42 > 0:44:43but you're going to have to, love,
0:44:43 > 0:44:45cos he's your doctor and he's the one that knows best.
0:44:45 > 0:44:48No, he doesn't, he's never known what's best for me.
0:44:48 > 0:44:51All this time, he's just been leading me on, lying to me.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54Anyway, I don't give a shit about him any more, we're done!
0:44:54 > 0:44:57I just don't want anything to happen to my baby, that's all.
0:44:57 > 0:45:01Hey, do you think we'd let anything happen to you and that baby?
0:45:01 > 0:45:02And if you weren't a midwife,
0:45:02 > 0:45:06- you wouldn't even know anything was wrong.- Yeah, but I am a midwife, Geraldine, so I do know.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10- So we need a foetal blood sample to see what's going on.- Get out!
0:45:10 > 0:45:11I can't leave, I have a job to do.
0:45:11 > 0:45:14- You're not taking blood from my baby's head!- I'm sorry?
0:45:14 > 0:45:17- I'd rather have a section. - Not a cat in hell's chance -
0:45:17 > 0:45:19you've just had one operation, you're not having another.
0:45:19 > 0:45:22- It's not up to you. - I'm afraid it is up to me.
0:45:22 > 0:45:26I want to see a different doctor. You're not even on call.
0:45:26 > 0:45:29- Bloody ridiculous.- Yeah, I don't want you in this delivery suite.
0:45:29 > 0:45:32Well, you haven't got a choice in the matter. How's the wound?
0:45:32 > 0:45:34No blood, stitches must be holding.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36Baby's well down, Vicky, you might not need a section.
0:45:36 > 0:45:38You don't want a scar on your uterus, do you?
0:45:38 > 0:45:41And risk complications for further pregnancies.
0:45:41 > 0:45:45I am not getting pregnant again, ever! And definitely not to you!
0:45:45 > 0:45:49- You said you wanted three children. - And a husband!
0:45:49 > 0:45:51I would like you to leave!
0:45:53 > 0:45:56It's just a small nick in the baby's head, it won't feel it.
0:45:56 > 0:45:57Oh, God, how do you know?
0:45:57 > 0:46:00And we'll have the pH value and an exact picture of what's going on.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03There's a deceleration on the trace, but it might not be foetal distress.
0:46:03 > 0:46:06- No!- How about letting this pass and reassessing?
0:46:06 > 0:46:10- She's fully dilated and baby's lying really low.- Ow! Ow!
0:46:10 > 0:46:13OK, let's see, then. Keep your eye on the trace
0:46:13 > 0:46:15- and if it drops below 70, yell. - Will do.
0:46:15 > 0:46:17OK, Vicky, I need you to push as hard as you can,
0:46:17 > 0:46:19we need this baby out as soon as possible.
0:46:19 > 0:46:23- Push right down into your bottom, as though you're having the biggest poo ever!- Do you have to say that?
0:46:23 > 0:46:26It helps. A nice, deep breath in, Vicky, and blow the pain away.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29- Watch the stitches!- That's it and push right down as deep as you can.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31- 90.- You're doing really well, nice and calm, good girl.
0:46:31 > 0:46:34- Push, push!- Yeah, I think I can see something. That's it, keep it coming.
0:46:34 > 0:46:37- You're doing brilliant.- Keep it coming.- 80.- Keep it coming.
0:46:37 > 0:46:41Big breaths! Your body's doing what it's supposed to be doing, it's pushing baby down and out.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44One more push and we'll have our baby. Now push. Come on, push!
0:46:44 > 0:46:46- Three, four, baby's head's nearly out!- And push!
0:46:46 > 0:46:48- 70!- Oh, my God, I can see its head!
0:46:48 > 0:46:50You're crowning, Vicky, you're crowning.
0:46:50 > 0:46:53Crowning?! It feels like the whole bloody throne!
0:47:03 > 0:47:06Oh! Oh! Oh, God!
0:47:06 > 0:47:10Head's out, Vicky, head's out!
0:47:10 > 0:47:15- Let's just give him a hand out, shall we?- That's it, nice and easy. Let him come.- Just one more gentle push.
0:47:15 > 0:47:20He's nearly here - nice, small breaths.
0:47:20 > 0:47:25- Now then, little fellow. - Oh, God! Oh, my God.
0:47:26 > 0:47:30- Oh, is he all right? - And we have our baby boy.- Oh, my God!
0:47:31 > 0:47:34He's just...
0:47:37 > 0:47:39He's just...
0:47:39 > 0:47:41Hello.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43Is everything all right?
0:47:43 > 0:47:45I think he's a bit shocked.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49- BABY CRIES - That's more like it.- Oh!
0:47:51 > 0:47:53Oh, my gorgeous!
0:47:55 > 0:47:57Ooh!
0:47:57 > 0:48:01There. Ooh, I think you've got a fine pair of healthy lungs there,
0:48:01 > 0:48:04- haven't you?- Oh, my God! - There we go!
0:48:04 > 0:48:08Hello! Aren't you gorgeous?
0:48:08 > 0:48:11Aren't you gorgeous, my darling little boy?
0:48:11 > 0:48:15Oh, you couldn't you wait to see me, could you, darling, eh?
0:48:15 > 0:48:18I couldn't wait to see you.
0:48:18 > 0:48:19Oh, look at you!
0:48:19 > 0:48:24Oh, you beauty! Oh, you darling!
0:48:24 > 0:48:27Oh, you..!
0:48:27 > 0:48:30You're gorgeous.
0:48:32 > 0:48:34Don't cry, it's all right.
0:48:52 > 0:48:55Richard Manning?
0:48:55 > 0:48:56Yeah, that's me.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59Her Majesty's jeans, T-shirt and trainers.
0:48:59 > 0:49:02Check these are your personal items and sign this form.
0:49:02 > 0:49:04I'll have your tie and your belt.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11Erm, I was wondering...
0:49:11 > 0:49:14I was... I just wondered if, erm...
0:49:15 > 0:49:19..if I could keep this photo of me kids that I've got in me wallet?
0:49:23 > 0:49:25They're just...
0:49:25 > 0:49:27just twin babies, you know.
0:49:29 > 0:49:32Can I keep that? Can I... Is that all right?
0:49:36 > 0:49:37Sign form.
0:49:40 > 0:49:42Thank you.
0:50:40 > 0:50:42I've been thinking,
0:50:42 > 0:50:46if you sell the house, why don't you and the kids move in with me?
0:50:47 > 0:50:53Thanks, Mam, but I've decided they're not taking the house off us,
0:50:53 > 0:50:57we've both worked too hard for it. I'm going to fight for this.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08All yours.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11You're in your room, Rosie's in the spare room with the baby.
0:51:11 > 0:51:12OK.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16I'm sorry about you and Kim.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22I'll get over it.
0:51:23 > 0:51:25I'm sorry I let you down, Mum.
0:51:51 > 0:51:56- Oh, come on!- Doing it on your iPhone's definitely cheating!
0:51:56 > 0:51:57Kim?
0:52:00 > 0:52:02What are you doing here?
0:52:03 > 0:52:07Sorry, I came round to collect some stuff and I must've...
0:52:07 > 0:52:10- This is my friend from work, Caroline.- Hi.
0:52:15 > 0:52:17I'll just get the baby and go.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19No. No, don't...
0:52:19 > 0:52:20please.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25It's all right, I'll go.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38Lovely people, your friends.
0:52:38 > 0:52:39Yes, they are.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42We've got a lot in common -
0:52:42 > 0:52:44we've all been through the same thing together, so...
0:52:47 > 0:52:51- Thank you very much for letting us have the party here.- No problem.
0:52:51 > 0:52:52Oh, by the way...
0:52:56 > 0:52:57..happy birthday.
0:53:06 > 0:53:09I don't wear that perfume any more, Jonathan.
0:53:09 > 0:53:14Oh. Well, take it back and get something you like.
0:53:20 > 0:53:21Good night.
0:53:33 > 0:53:356lb, 2oz is a good weight for seven weeks prem.
0:53:39 > 0:53:42God knows what he'd have been if he'd have gone full term.
0:53:54 > 0:53:55So, how are you feeling now?
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Like I've done ten rounds with Mike Tyson.
0:54:02 > 0:54:03Yes, you will do.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09My mum and dad are on their way,
0:54:09 > 0:54:11so I'd make yourself scarce, if I were you.
0:54:11 > 0:54:12It'll be nice to see them.
0:54:16 > 0:54:18I'm sorry I had to leave the delivery suite,
0:54:18 > 0:54:21- but I just suddenly felt... - You're always leaving, Chris.
0:54:21 > 0:54:23I'm always on my own, at least now I understand why.
0:54:23 > 0:54:25- It isn't what you think. - How do you know what I think?
0:54:28 > 0:54:30Do you know what? I don't care.
0:54:30 > 0:54:33Right now, I would just like to get some rest before my family get here.
0:54:33 > 0:54:34- Can I just explain?- No.
0:54:37 > 0:54:40When I was a first-year medic at Sunderland Hospital,
0:54:40 > 0:54:42I was absolutely broke and I was seriously in debt.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45- I don't care.- I didn't know where my next penny was coming from.
0:54:45 > 0:54:47I owed out all my salary before I got paid,
0:54:47 > 0:54:50I'd smashed my car into an Audi and I wasn't insured so...
0:54:50 > 0:54:53I borrowed some money to get that sorted and then I borrowed some more
0:54:53 > 0:54:56to lend to my sister because she was going through a hard time.
0:54:56 > 0:54:57My father's business was going down
0:54:57 > 0:55:00and my mother was spending like there was no tomorrow.
0:55:00 > 0:55:01Really, I'm not interested.
0:55:01 > 0:55:04And then this guy who I was at uni with came to me
0:55:04 > 0:55:07and asked me if I wanted to earn five grand, no questions asked.
0:55:08 > 0:55:11All I had to do was turn up at a registry office
0:55:11 > 0:55:12and marry this woman.
0:55:12 > 0:55:16I met her twice, she was a trainee nurse from The Gambia
0:55:16 > 0:55:18and she could hardly speak a word of English.
0:55:21 > 0:55:23She was desperate to stay here...
0:55:25 > 0:55:28..and I was desperate for the money.
0:55:28 > 0:55:31I thought there was no way I'd ever want to get married,
0:55:31 > 0:55:34- so it was a no brainer. - And where is she now?
0:55:36 > 0:55:40Well, that's the problem, she seems to have disappeared. I have looked everywhere for her,
0:55:40 > 0:55:42especially since I found out you were pregnant.
0:55:42 > 0:55:44I've been online, everything.
0:55:47 > 0:55:50I would like nothing more than for us to become a proper family,
0:55:50 > 0:55:54you, me and our boy.
0:55:57 > 0:56:00- So I will find her.- Do you mean that? - And when I...
0:56:00 > 0:56:01I wouldn't say it if I didn't.
0:56:01 > 0:56:04I thought I was going to lose you today, Vicky, and...
0:56:07 > 0:56:10..well, I know I've been somewhat lacking in the romantic department,
0:56:10 > 0:56:12and I know this may come as a bit of a shock,
0:56:12 > 0:56:15but I have a very strong, protective feeling...
0:56:16 > 0:56:18..towards you...
0:56:21 > 0:56:24..which I can only assume is...
0:56:25 > 0:56:26..love.
0:56:28 > 0:56:33I've never felt this before, so when I do find that girl
0:56:33 > 0:56:35from The Gambia and divorce her...
0:56:38 > 0:56:41- Well, it would make me very happy... - Oh, my God!
0:56:42 > 0:56:45I'm afraid I don't have a ring...
0:56:48 > 0:56:50..but would you marry me?
0:56:52 > 0:56:56- Please?- Oh!
0:57:06 > 0:57:09- KIM:- 'When you're pregnant, you have this idea
0:57:09 > 0:57:12'of what it's going to be like when the baby's born.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14'People tell you things,
0:57:14 > 0:57:18'but nothing on God's Earth can prepare you for parenthood.
0:57:21 > 0:57:24'You have this idea that, when the baby comes,
0:57:24 > 0:57:26'everything will be perfect.
0:57:28 > 0:57:31'When, in actual fact, life becomes a roller coaster.
0:57:33 > 0:57:37'You'll feel the highest highs and the lowest lows.
0:57:37 > 0:57:40'You'll experience love like you've never felt before.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45'But with it comes an irrational anxiety
0:57:45 > 0:57:49'that every single thing you're doing is wrong.
0:57:49 > 0:57:54'The only one thing that is absolutely certain
0:57:54 > 0:57:57'is having a baby changes everything.
0:57:59 > 0:58:01'And life will never be the same again.'
0:58:01 > 0:58:04# Believe it or not
0:58:04 > 0:58:07# I made them see
0:58:07 > 0:58:12# This is what happiness means to me... #
0:58:18 > 0:58:20'This is Kim, signing off.
0:58:24 > 0:58:27'Post me a note.'
