-We met on a night out in Chester.

-We were both drunk.

-He bought me food at the end

-of the night and carried me home.

-She had nice eyes, a nice smile.

-A nice bum!

-We just seemed to hit it off.

-When we first went out,

-I was in college...

-..studying to be a nurse.

-I decided he was the man

-for me fairly early.

-We just got along so well.

-He's my best friend.

-The wedding was

-just over a year ago.

-It was a fantastic day.

-We had brilliant weather.

-It was amazing, it was wow.

-The wedding was quite...

-..large.

-Lavish.

-No!

-No!

-

-Huge!

-It wasn't huge.

-It wasn't a very big wedding.

-It was wow, but also quite simple.

-My favourite moment

-in the wedding...

-..was the first dance, I think.

-All day,

-I hadn't cried or been nervous.

-Everything went smoothly.

-But the moment we started

-to dance, I cried.

-I cried for the whole song.

-We weren't trying for a baby.

-It was a fluke.

-It was a bit of a shock.

-But it was a nice surprise.

-I tried to think when would be

-the best time to tell him.

-We went for a walk

-with his family to the park.

-I thought I'd just tell him.

-I whispered in his ear...

-"..I think I'm pregnant."

-As I said that,

-his mother called him over.

-So off he went.

-I wasn't sure if he'd heard me.

-We were there for a couple of hours.

-He didn't say anything about it.

-On the way home in the car,

-I didn't say anything, nor did he.

-Finally, I asked if he'd heard

-me say, "I think I'm pregnant."

-He said, "Oh, right.

-I thought that's what you said."

-It went from there.

-I'm going to see the midwife

-at Strathmore, Wrexham...

-..for a routine check-up.

-She'll check my blood pressure...

-..and check the blood again.

-She'll measure the baby

-and check the baby's heartbeat...

-..and just go through things

-since the last appointment.

-Are you still talking to that bump?

-Are you still talking to that bump?

-

-Yes, all the time.

-Last time I was there, they thought

-the baby measured a bit large.

-They were worried I had diabetes.

-I had glucose in the urine.

-I've had a blood test

-and checked the urine again.

-Everything was clear.

-They're not so worried

-about that now.

-It's just a big baby, I think.

-I'll just measure

-and check the measurements...

-..to your hard bit there.

-That's fine.

-That's measuring spot on.

-Good. It was bigger last time.

-Good. It was bigger last time.

-

-Spot on.

-We'll plot that on the thing now.

-I had a whooping cough injection...

-..so the baby doesn't

-get that when he's born.

-It's not a single

-whooping cough vaccine.

-We don't have that in Britain.

-It's combined with diphtheria,

-tetanus and polio.

-That's what all the young mums have.

-Have you had it before?

-No.

-No allergies? You're well today,

-and not got a temperature?

-You've never had reactions

-to immunisations?

-There we go.

-There we go.

-

-Thank you very much.

-Hold it for a bit, sometimes it

-bleeds. I'll pop a plaster on it.

-I'm 34 weeks now.

-She went through a few things

-since the last appointment.

-I have group B strep.

-It's a bug that grows

-naturally in the body.

-It can affect the baby after labour.

-She went through that with me.

-She said the moment I have

-any contractions, I have to go in.

-They'll have to start me

-on antibiotics...

-..to make sure the baby

-doesn't get any infections.

-I'll have to stay in hospital

-a bit longer after the birth...

-..to make sure it's healthy.

-Baby Show

-Typical. After reaching the NEC, the

-first thing he does is look at cars.

-It doesn't matter about the baby.

-It's all about the car!

-We've had a look round.

-Rob found this stand.

-Massage. He's enjoying himself.

-I'll leave him for a few minutes

-and have another look round.

-We've had a look.

-There are loads of car seats here.

-We've found one we like.

-We looked at

-the iCandy and Oyster.

-But we like the Silver Cross.

-What do you think, Rob?

-I like it. It's good.

-And it matches the pram.

-Matches the pram.

-OK, don't worry. Is it all done?

-OK, don't worry. Is it all done?

-

-Yes. It just needs faxing.

-I'm working on the vascular ward in

-the Countess Of Chester, in Chester.

-Day to day, I look after

-patients post-op and pre-op.

-A lot come from theatre or ICU.

-I look after them, and do

-a lot of discharge planning.

-I'm almost 35 weeks.

-So I'm tired.

-Today is my last day.

-I think the girls are arranging

-a small party next door.

-Thank you for all your hard work.

-We're going to miss you immensely.

-Just a little something

-for now and after.

-Oh, after!

-LAUGHTER

-For you and baby.

-Thank you very much.

-So enjoy.

-Thank you.

-Going to miss you.

-I'm going to cry now!

-Nine months will soon go.

-Nine months will soon go.

-

-I'll be back before you know it!

-Thanks.

-Thanks.

-

-You're welcome.

-APPLAUSE

-Thank you.

-Are you hungry?

-Starving!

-Everybody help themselves.

-See you soon.

-I've just finished

-an eight hour shift.

-I'm tired and ready

-to put my feet up at home.

-I had a lovely surprise

-from all the girls...

-..a party and lots of gifts.

-But I've finished now.

-I'm tired and ready to go home.

-I'm two days overdue.

-So Rob has had the idea

-of cooking a hot curry...

-..to see if that gets things moving.

-I'm going to give it a go.

-I'm not sure what it is,

-but it's going to be hot.

-He's adding a lot of chilli.

-We'll see.

-I don't usually eat hot curries.

-Batman.

-Rob likes Batman, so I bought this.

-My sister bought a Superman one.

-Here it is.

-He'll be a little superhero.

-Everyone has given me

-loads of lovely things.

-I've been spoilt.

-Probably another curry tomorrow.

-And another one Wednesday,

-probably Thursday and Friday.

-Curry until he comes.

-Wow!

-Oh, my god.

-Thanks for that.

-That was hot. It's nice, but hot.

-Do you want more

-coconut cream in it?

-No, it'll be fine. Just put it

-on the side. I can add it in.

-Jesus!

-Bloody hell! That was hot.

-Voila.

-Voila.

-

-Thank you.

-Do you think it's going to be hot?

-Do you think it's going to be hot?

-

-I'll wait for you to try it first.

-It's really hot.

-Can you feel your tongue?

-No. I think

-I've lost the roof of my mouth now!

-Bloody hellfire.

-Who's with you?

-Rob, my husband,

-and Nia, my mother.

-They said it would be a big baby.

-Rob was almost ten pounds.

-Do you know what you're having

-or is it going to be a surprise?

-It's a boy.

-It's a boy.

-

-Well done!

-No surprises there.

-We'll assess you

-to see how you're doing.

-We'll take it as it comes.

-Do you want to go in the pool?

-Yes.

-The contractions started

-at ten o'clock.

-Your waters haven't gone.

-Your waters haven't gone.

-

-No.

-You're strep B.

-Is the baby moving?

-Is the baby moving?

-

-Yes.

-You've had no problems.

-You've had no problems.

-

-No.

-I'll listen to the baby every

-15 minutes while you're in the pool.

-Once you start to push,

-we'll do it every five minutes.

-I'm not too posh to push!

-I'll have a caesarean if I need one.

-I want a natural birth.

-We'll put her in the pool.

-She can come out whenever she wants.

-Water is one of the best ways

-to relieve pain.

-We use it a lot in Wrexham.

-It's very popular.

-Take your time.

-OK?

-Nice?

-Yes, lovely.

-You'd thought of a water birth.

-Are you happy about that?

-Are you happy about that?

-

-Yes.

-If there's a problem,

-we have to bring you out.

-Elliw phoned at eleven...

-..to say she had come in.

-Then she rang

-to say she had to wait.

-We came straight here.

-I'm apprehensive for Elliw.

-But I'm looking forward

-to meeting my first grandson.

-I feel great.

-Warm water helps with the pain.

-I had a bath before coming

-and it helped.

-I thought I'd try it

-to see how it goes.

-I'd considered a water birth

-all along.

-I told Mam I wanted

-to try a water birth.

-I'll see how it goes.

-If it's too painful, I'll come out

-and try something different.

-It's quite natural.

-I'm giving it a go.

-She needs antibiotics

-because she's strep.

-It's too early for her

-to have antibiotics at the moment.

-Your waters haven't gone.

-Once they've gone, let me know.

-We'll give you IV antibiotics.

-Great, thanks.

-I won't be here all the time.

-Ring the bell if you need anything.

-I'll be in and out

-every ten minutes.

-I won't be in your face

-all the time.

-It's better like that.

-It's better like that.

-

-Great.

-It's like watching a kettle boiling.

-It's like watching a kettle boiling.

-

-Yes!

-We'll reassess her progress...

-..in four hours from now...

-..unless something changes

-when we listen to baby's heartbeat.

-We listen to the heartbeat every

-15 minutes in the early stages...

-..then every five minutes

-in the latter stages...

-..when she's fully dilated.

-If there's a problem,

-she'll come out of the pool.

-I'm sure there won't be a problem.

-Thank you.

-I've had antibiotics

-because I have group B strep.

-It can be dangerous

-to the baby at birth.

-I had to come out of the pool

-for that.

-When I was out of the pool...

-..the pain was more intense.

-I've come back in.

-I feel better after Entonox.

-I'm happier she's feeling better.

-I want it to be over now.

-A midwife will do another

-examination at eight o'clock...

-..to see if I've dilated more.

-I was four centimetres earlier.

-She wants to know

-if I'm more fully dilated.

-Elliw has been in labour

-for quite a while.

-She was tiring.

-They've brought her to this room

-and give her an epidural.

-She can rest until

-she's ready to give birth.

-There hasn't been

-much change for hours.

-We'll see.

-She might be ready after a rest...

-..for the final push.

-Just feeling a bit tired.

-Fingers crossed,

-in the next hour or two...

-..we should be ready to say hello.

-She's been in pain.

-She's feeling better now,

-just tired.

-She's definitely tired.

-We had a bit of a void where

-you guys couldn't quite follow us.

-And the little man

-did a bit of a turn inside Mum.

-We had to go in

-to emergency theatre...

-..and bring him out with forceps.

-It was a bit of a traumatic ordeal,

-and not really what you want.

-Not really a part

-of your birth plan...

-..but fortunately,

-all worked out well.

-Basically,

-the labour was quite slow.

-I wasn't dilating

-as quickly as they'd like.

-I was having a lot of pains.

-The baby turned on his side.

-That's why it went on so long.

-He was stuck, basically.

-They took me to emergency theatre...

-..for a forceps delivery.

-If that didn't work,

-I'd need an emergency C-section.

-Luckily, the forceps worked.

-He weighed seven pounds, seven.

-He was a good size baby.

-It's just amazing.

-I've been waiting

-for this day for so long.

-It's just amazing.

-All worth it now, isn't it?

-All worth it now, isn't it?

-

-All worth it, yeah.

-But a bit stressful at the time.

-How long altogether was the labour?

-So it was...

-..thirty four hours.

-Thirty four hours in total.

-The final delivery bit...

-..took about eight minutes...

-..to complete.

-We're thinking about names,

-aren't we?

-Yeah. I think it's to be confirmed.

-To be confirmed.

-To be confirmed.

-

-We've got a couple lined up.

-We like three names.

-We'll see what suits him

-and let you know.
