0:00:57 > 0:00:59- We met on a night out in Chester.
0:01:00 > 0:01:02- We were both drunk.
0:01:02 > 0:01:06- He bought me food at the end - of the night and carried me home.
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- She had nice eyes, a nice smile.
0:01:10 > 0:01:11- A nice bum!
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- We just seemed to hit it off.
0:01:16 > 0:01:20- When we first went out, - I was in college...
0:01:20 > 0:01:22- ..studying to be a nurse.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- I decided he was the man - for me fairly early.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- We just got along so well.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32- He's my best friend.
0:01:34 > 0:01:37- The wedding was - just over a year ago.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- It was a fantastic day. - We had brilliant weather.
0:01:41 > 0:01:44- It was amazing, it was wow.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50- The wedding was quite...
0:01:52 > 0:01:53- ..large.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55- Lavish.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56- No!
0:01:56 > 0:01:57- No!- - Huge!
0:01:57 > 0:01:58- It wasn't huge.
0:01:58 > 0:02:01- It wasn't a very big wedding.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04- It was wow, but also quite simple.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11- My favourite moment - in the wedding...
0:02:12 > 0:02:14- ..was the first dance, I think.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- All day, - I hadn't cried or been nervous.
0:02:19 > 0:02:21- Everything went smoothly.
0:02:21 > 0:02:25- But the moment we started - to dance, I cried.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- I cried for the whole song.
0:02:34 > 0:02:38- We weren't trying for a baby. - It was a fluke.
0:02:39 > 0:02:41- It was a bit of a shock.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- But it was a nice surprise.
0:02:44 > 0:02:49- I tried to think when would be - the best time to tell him.
0:02:50 > 0:02:55- We went for a walk - with his family to the park.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- I thought I'd just tell him.
0:02:59 > 0:03:01- I whispered in his ear...
0:03:01 > 0:03:03- "..I think I'm pregnant."
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- As I said that, - his mother called him over.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09- So off he went.
0:03:10 > 0:03:12- I wasn't sure if he'd heard me.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16- We were there for a couple of hours.
0:03:17 > 0:03:19- He didn't say anything about it.
0:03:20 > 0:03:25- On the way home in the car, - I didn't say anything, nor did he.
0:03:25 > 0:03:30- Finally, I asked if he'd heard - me say, "I think I'm pregnant."
0:03:30 > 0:03:34- He said, "Oh, right. - I thought that's what you said."
0:03:34 > 0:03:36- It went from there.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51- I'm going to see the midwife - at Strathmore, Wrexham...
0:03:52 > 0:03:54- ..for a routine check-up.
0:03:55 > 0:03:57- She'll check my blood pressure...
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- ..and check the blood again.
0:04:03 > 0:04:08- She'll measure the baby - and check the baby's heartbeat...
0:04:09 > 0:04:13- ..and just go through things - since the last appointment.
0:04:14 > 0:04:15- Are you still talking to that bump?
0:04:15 > 0:04:16- Are you still talking to that bump?- - Yes, all the time.
0:04:17 > 0:04:23- Last time I was there, they thought - the baby measured a bit large.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27- They were worried I had diabetes.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- I had glucose in the urine.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- I've had a blood test - and checked the urine again.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37- Everything was clear.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- They're not so worried - about that now.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42- It's just a big baby, I think.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46- I'll just measure - and check the measurements...
0:04:48 > 0:04:50- ..to your hard bit there.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- That's fine. - That's measuring spot on.
0:04:55 > 0:04:56- Good. It was bigger last time.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57- Good. It was bigger last time.- - Spot on.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59- We'll plot that on the thing now.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- I had a whooping cough injection...
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- ..so the baby doesn't - get that when he's born.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13- It's not a single - whooping cough vaccine.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- We don't have that in Britain.
0:05:15 > 0:05:19- It's combined with diphtheria, - tetanus and polio.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- That's what all the young mums have.
0:05:22 > 0:05:23- Have you had it before?
0:05:24 > 0:05:25- No.
0:05:25 > 0:05:30- No allergies? You're well today, - and not got a temperature?
0:05:30 > 0:05:34- You've never had reactions - to immunisations?
0:05:43 > 0:05:43- There we go.
0:05:43 > 0:05:45- There we go.- - Thank you very much.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49- Hold it for a bit, sometimes it - bleeds. I'll pop a plaster on it.
0:05:49 > 0:05:51- I'm 34 weeks now.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56- She went through a few things - since the last appointment.
0:05:56 > 0:05:58- I have group B strep.
0:05:59 > 0:06:04- It's a bug that grows - naturally in the body.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08- It can affect the baby after labour.
0:06:10 > 0:06:12- She went through that with me.
0:06:13 > 0:06:18- She said the moment I have - any contractions, I have to go in.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21- They'll have to start me - on antibiotics...
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- ..to make sure the baby - doesn't get any infections.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30- I'll have to stay in hospital - a bit longer after the birth...
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- ..to make sure it's healthy.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Baby Show
0:06:50 > 0:06:56- Typical. After reaching the NEC, the - first thing he does is look at cars.
0:06:56 > 0:07:00- It doesn't matter about the baby. - It's all about the car!
0:07:06 > 0:07:08- We've had a look round.
0:07:08 > 0:07:09- Rob found this stand.
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Massage. He's enjoying himself.
0:07:15 > 0:07:19- I'll leave him for a few minutes - and have another look round.
0:07:44 > 0:07:46- We've had a look.
0:07:46 > 0:07:49- There are loads of car seats here.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53- We've found one we like.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57- We looked at - the iCandy and Oyster.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- But we like the Silver Cross.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01- What do you think, Rob?
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- I like it. It's good.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06- And it matches the pram.
0:08:07 > 0:08:08- Matches the pram.
0:08:21 > 0:08:23- OK, don't worry. Is it all done?
0:08:23 > 0:08:25- OK, don't worry. Is it all done?- - Yes. It just needs faxing.
0:08:26 > 0:08:31- I'm working on the vascular ward in - the Countess Of Chester, in Chester.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- Day to day, I look after - patients post-op and pre-op.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39- A lot come from theatre or ICU.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- I look after them, and do - a lot of discharge planning.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55- I'm almost 35 weeks.
0:08:56 > 0:08:57- So I'm tired.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- Today is my last day.
0:09:00 > 0:09:04- I think the girls are arranging - a small party next door.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11- Thank you for all your hard work.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14- We're going to miss you immensely.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- Just a little something - for now and after.
0:09:17 > 0:09:18- Oh, after!

0:10:36 > 0:10:38- I'm two days overdue.
0:10:39 > 0:10:43- So Rob has had the idea - of cooking a hot curry...
0:10:43 > 0:10:46- ..to see if that gets things moving.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- I'm going to give it a go.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- I'm not sure what it is, - but it's going to be hot.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- He's adding a lot of chilli. - We'll see.
0:10:56 > 0:10:59- I don't usually eat hot curries.
0:11:11 > 0:11:12- Batman.
0:11:13 > 0:11:15- Rob likes Batman, so I bought this.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- My sister bought a Superman one.
0:11:20 > 0:11:21- Here it is.
0:11:22 > 0:11:24- He'll be a little superhero.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28- Everyone has given me - loads of lovely things.
0:11:29 > 0:11:30- I've been spoilt.
0:11:33 > 0:11:36- Probably another curry tomorrow.
0:11:36 > 0:11:40- And another one Wednesday, - probably Thursday and Friday.
0:11:41 > 0:11:42- Curry until he comes.
0:11:48 > 0:11:49- Wow!
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- Oh, my god.
0:11:54 > 0:11:56- Thanks for that.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58- That was hot. It's nice, but hot.
0:11:58 > 0:12:01- Do you want more - coconut cream in it?
0:12:01 > 0:12:05- No, it'll be fine. Just put it - on the side. I can add it in.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08- Jesus!
0:12:09 > 0:12:11- Bloody hell! That was hot.
0:12:23 > 0:12:24- Voila.
0:12:24 > 0:12:26- Voila.- - Thank you.
0:12:30 > 0:12:31- Do you think it's going to be hot?
0:12:31 > 0:12:33- Do you think it's going to be hot?- - I'll wait for you to try it first.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42- It's really hot.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Can you feel your tongue?
0:12:44 > 0:12:47- No. I think - I've lost the roof of my mouth now!
0:12:50 > 0:12:52- Bloody hellfire.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Who's with you?
0:13:13 > 0:13:16- Rob, my husband, - and Nia, my mother.
0:13:18 > 0:13:22- They said it would be a big baby. - Rob was almost ten pounds.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26- Do you know what you're having - or is it going to be a surprise?
0:13:26 > 0:13:28- It's a boy.
0:13:28 > 0:13:30- It's a boy.- - Well done!
0:13:30 > 0:13:32- No surprises there.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35- We'll assess you - to see how you're doing.
0:13:36 > 0:13:38- We'll take it as it comes.
0:13:38 > 0:13:40- Do you want to go in the pool?
0:13:41 > 0:13:43- Yes.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- The contractions started - at ten o'clock.
0:13:51 > 0:13:52- Your waters haven't gone.
0:13:52 > 0:13:53- Your waters haven't gone.- - No.
0:13:54 > 0:13:57- You're strep B.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- Is the baby moving?
0:14:00 > 0:14:01- Is the baby moving?- - Yes.
0:14:02 > 0:14:03- You've had no problems.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- You've had no problems.- - No.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13- I'll listen to the baby every - 15 minutes while you're in the pool.
0:14:14 > 0:14:20- Once you start to push, - we'll do it every five minutes.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- I'm not too posh to push!
0:14:23 > 0:14:27- I'll have a caesarean if I need one.
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- I want a natural birth.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- We'll put her in the pool.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36- She can come out whenever she wants.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- Water is one of the best ways - to relieve pain.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45- We use it a lot in Wrexham.
0:14:46 > 0:14:48- It's very popular.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- Take your time.
0:14:54 > 0:14:55- OK?
0:14:56 > 0:14:57- Nice?
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Yes, lovely.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03- You'd thought of a water birth.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05- Are you happy about that?
0:15:05 > 0:15:06- Are you happy about that?- - Yes.
0:15:06 > 0:15:10- If there's a problem, - we have to bring you out.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- Elliw phoned at eleven...
0:15:18 > 0:15:20- ..to say she had come in.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24- Then she rang - to say she had to wait.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26- We came straight here.
0:15:29 > 0:15:31- I'm apprehensive for Elliw.
0:15:31 > 0:15:36- But I'm looking forward - to meeting my first grandson.
0:15:41 > 0:15:45- I feel great. - Warm water helps with the pain.
0:15:46 > 0:15:49- I had a bath before coming - and it helped.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52- I thought I'd try it - to see how it goes.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55- I'd considered a water birth - all along.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59- I told Mam I wanted - to try a water birth.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- I'll see how it goes.
0:16:02 > 0:16:07- If it's too painful, I'll come out - and try something different.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09- It's quite natural.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- I'm giving it a go.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- She needs antibiotics - because she's strep.
0:16:16 > 0:16:21- It's too early for her - to have antibiotics at the moment.
0:16:22 > 0:16:24- Your waters haven't gone.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27- Once they've gone, let me know.
0:16:27 > 0:16:31- We'll give you IV antibiotics.
0:16:31 > 0:16:33- Great, thanks.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- I won't be here all the time.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Ring the bell if you need anything.
0:16:39 > 0:16:43- I'll be in and out - every ten minutes.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- I won't be in your face - all the time.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- It's better like that.
0:16:49 > 0:16:50- It's better like that.- - Great.
0:16:50 > 0:16:51- It's like watching a kettle boiling.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- It's like watching a kettle boiling.- - Yes!
0:16:54 > 0:16:56- We'll reassess her progress...
0:16:57 > 0:17:00- ..in four hours from now...
0:17:00 > 0:17:05- ..unless something changes - when we listen to baby's heartbeat.
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- We listen to the heartbeat every - 15 minutes in the early stages...
0:17:10 > 0:17:14- ..then every five minutes - in the latter stages...
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- ..when she's fully dilated.
0:17:17 > 0:17:22- If there's a problem, - she'll come out of the pool.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25- I'm sure there won't be a problem.
0:17:27 > 0:17:28- Thank you.
0:17:34 > 0:17:37- I've had antibiotics - because I have group B strep.
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- It can be dangerous - to the baby at birth.
0:17:41 > 0:17:44- I had to come out of the pool - for that.
0:17:45 > 0:17:48- When I was out of the pool...
0:17:49 > 0:17:51- ..the pain was more intense.
0:17:52 > 0:17:54- I've come back in.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57- I feel better after Entonox.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- I'm happier she's feeling better.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17- I want it to be over now.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- A midwife will do another - examination at eight o'clock...
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- ..to see if I've dilated more.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27- I was four centimetres earlier.
0:18:27 > 0:18:31- She wants to know - if I'm more fully dilated.
0:19:23 > 0:19:27- Elliw has been in labour - for quite a while.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29- She was tiring.
0:19:29 > 0:19:34- They've brought her to this room - and give her an epidural.
0:19:35 > 0:19:39- She can rest until - she's ready to give birth.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42- There hasn't been - much change for hours.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44- We'll see.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47- She might be ready after a rest...
0:19:47 > 0:19:49- ..for the final push.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53- Just feeling a bit tired.
0:19:55 > 0:19:59- Fingers crossed, - in the next hour or two...
0:19:59 > 0:20:04- ..we should be ready to say hello.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09- She's been in pain.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13- She's feeling better now, - just tired.
0:20:13 > 0:20:15- She's definitely tired.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41- We had a bit of a void where - you guys couldn't quite follow us.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47- And the little man - did a bit of a turn inside Mum.
0:20:48 > 0:20:53- We had to go in - to emergency theatre...
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- ..and bring him out with forceps.
0:20:59 > 0:21:03- It was a bit of a traumatic ordeal, - and not really what you want.
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Not really a part - of your birth plan...
0:21:08 > 0:21:12- ..but fortunately, - all worked out well.
0:21:12 > 0:21:16- Basically, - the labour was quite slow.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20- I wasn't dilating - as quickly as they'd like.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25- I was having a lot of pains.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28- The baby turned on his side.
0:21:29 > 0:21:31- That's why it went on so long.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35- He was stuck, basically.
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- They took me to emergency theatre...
0:21:40 > 0:21:42- ..for a forceps delivery.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46- If that didn't work, - I'd need an emergency C-section.
0:21:46 > 0:21:50- Luckily, the forceps worked.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54- He weighed seven pounds, seven.
0:21:54 > 0:21:58- He was a good size baby.
0:21:59 > 0:22:02- It's just amazing.
0:22:04 > 0:22:09- I've been waiting - for this day for so long.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14- It's just amazing.
0:22:14 > 0:22:16- All worth it now, isn't it?
0:22:16 > 0:22:17- All worth it now, isn't it?- - All worth it, yeah.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20- But a bit stressful at the time.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23- How long altogether was the labour?
0:22:24 > 0:22:26- So it was...
0:22:27 > 0:22:29- ..thirty four hours.
0:22:30 > 0:22:33- Thirty four hours in total.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38- The final delivery bit...
0:22:39 > 0:22:42- ..took about eight minutes...
0:22:44 > 0:22:46- ..to complete.
0:22:49 > 0:22:52- We're thinking about names, - aren't we?
0:22:52 > 0:22:56- Yeah. I think it's to be confirmed.
0:22:56 > 0:22:57- To be confirmed.
0:22:57 > 0:22:59- To be confirmed.- - We've got a couple lined up.
0:22:59 > 0:23:01- We like three names.
0:23:02 > 0:23:06- We'll see what suits him - and let you know.
