-I'm Alaw, I'm 20

-and going to have a baby.

-I'm Steffan, I'm 17

-and still in college.

-I don't remember

-meeting you for the first time.

-I don't think we talked that time.

-I think I just spotted him.

-Then, I thought, "Who is he?"

-We messaged a lot on Snapchat.

-That's how we started.

-I sent a Snapchat, a picture

-with a caption, saying I was bored.

-And you answered.

-That was a very exciting

-moment for me.

-We met again because

-you're friends with my sister.

-We had a date in McDonald's.

-After that, away!

-We've been together for over a year.

-Over a year.

-And we have a baby on the way.

-Since I'm pregnant...

-..I've noticed that loads of people

-are in the same situation as me...

-..the same age, having children.

-One of my best friends

-has just had a baby.

-She's doing fantastically.

-Long ago, people had babies

-when they were young.

-It's as if that tradition

-is coming back.

-People are getting married younger.

-That's how it's going.

-We weren't trying for a baby.

-But it was a shock...

-..when we found out.

-I'm sure it was

-the beginning of January.

-I had suspected it...

-..because my body felt so different.

-I didn't feel my usual self.

-A friend was with me.

-We decided to buy a test.

-We went to Asda.

-Nothing showed up on that.

-I thought, "Thank goodness!"

-I went home and was on my own.

-I still wasn't convinced.

-I tried again.

-I really regret doing it on my own.

-I found out on my own.

-I thought, "Oh, my god!

-"What am I going to tell Steff?"

-Just in case, I went

-to bed without saying anything.

-You were sound asleep, weren't you?

-In the morning...

-..a friend, Non...

-..brought me another test, to check.

-We did it together and

-she picked up the test like this.

-She started to cry.

-I thought, "Oh, no!"

-I woke Steff.

-I couldn't get my words out.

-I cried.

-Steff just sat there.

-I thought, "Hello? Come on!"

-When I told you,

-you just held my hand...

-..saying, "Everything will be fine."

-You were there for me.

-It was quite scary!

-We're going for the 20 week

-scan today. We're very excited.

-We have no idea

-what we're going to have.

-I don't know what to expect.

-Amazing!

-A lot of people are coming with us.

-A lot of people are coming with us.

-

-Yes.

-Mam is coming here at 2.00pm

-and Mari, my best friend.

-My god, we're just so excited!

-I don't mind what I have.

-So long as the baby's healthy,

-it's fine.

-If it was a boy,

-he'd play Xbox with you.

-Nuisance!

-A girl would be ideal!

-I could dress her up in pretty

-summer dresses and cute flip-flops.

-What do you want?

-I don't mind, really.

-It's exciting. But I'm nervous too.

-I'm afraid to hear bad news.

-It would be scary.

-Hello.

-Hello.

-

-Hello.

-Hiya.

-Are you OK?

-This is Mam and this is Mari Fon.

-Hello!

-Are you excited that you're coming?

-Are you excited that you're coming?

-

-Yes.

-Are you looking forward?

-Are you looking forward?

-

-I'm nervous.

-At first, I thought it was a boy.

-I'm not convinced any more.

-I have no idea!

-Both of you dreamt

-you were having a girl.

-Yes.

-It's the opposite.

-We'll see today!

-Yes.

-It was a big shock.

-Yes. I was home from Liverpool.

-You had a nice letter, Mam.

-I was ill in bed.

-What happened?

-Alaw gave me a letter.

-Then she left the house!

-You went somewhere in a car.

-I went to fetch Steffan.

-I opened the letter.

-It was this long.

-"Bloody hell," I thought!

-That was that.

-What the heck.

-That was that.

-At the end,

-I wrote, "Congrats, Gran!"

-Yes!

-I think it was worse,

-the thought of being a grandmother!

-It's quite nice to know

-your daughter can have children.

-Many people can't.

-I think it's changed Alaw.

-She's grown up, hasn't she, Mari?

-Yes, she's matured a lot.

-Fair play to Steffan too,

-he's grown up a lot. He's great.

-A lot of people probably think...

-..they're so young,

-it wouldn't work.

-But fair play,

-he'll be a good father.

-They'll have help and support

-from the parents on both sides.

-I'm sure they'll both be fine.

-If it's a boy or girl,

-it doesn't matter.

-It'll have plenty of love.

-I've been crying!

-No!

-What are you having?

-A little girl!

-SOBS

-Oh, my god!

-Congratulations, Steff.

-Are you crying?

-Oh!

-You're making me cry,

-and I said I wouldn't!

-It was amazing!

-Where does it say?

-Here?

-A little girl!

-She's upside-down!

-Yes!

-Oh, my god!

-Fantastic.

-Oh, my god.

-I was crying and the man said...

-"..You see those lights?

-It's a female!"

-I was like this.

-I started to cry!

-Did you cry, Steff?

-No, he was trying to be a tough guy!

-Oh, my god.

-Congratulations.

-Congratulations.

-

-Thanks.

-It's lucky we didn't have a bet.

-I'd be down a tenner.

-You'd have lost!

-They've arrived!

-My god!

-It's heavy.

-Bloody hell, yes.

-How did you carry them up?

-How did you carry them up?

-

-I dragged them.

-On your own!

-Thanks.

-Everything is here.

-Everything is here.

-

-Yes.

-We have a cot.

-A wardrobe.

-A changing unit.

-And cupboards.

-What's this?

-I've no idea.

-A drawer, I think.

-It goes under the cot.

-Can we build them tonight?

-Ideal. Then the bedroom is done.

-Ideal. Then the bedroom is done.

-

-Yes.

-Curtains. A mattress.

-Done. It's exciting.

-Hiya.

-Alaw Williams.

-Right.

-Can you read the front,

-fill the form and sign the back?

-Right.

-Lovely. Thanks. Take a seat.

-Today, I hope to see a face.

-It would be cute.

-Yes.

-It won't show what she looks like.

-It'll be different to see the shape.

-It'll be nice, I hope...

-..if we see it.

-Come in.

-Go round the far side, you can

-lie down. Steffan, have a seat.

-Do you know the sex of the baby

-or are you having a surprise?

-No, it's a baby girl.

-OK. We'll check!

-To see her face,

-we need her looking at us.

-If she's looking at your back,

-we'll see the back of a head.

-I'm sure it's lovely,

-but not what we want.

-We may have to have a word with her!

-There's that little heart beating.

-It's real.

-You can see by the spikes

-she's wriggling around.

-It's amazing.

-It's the most incredible feeling

-in the world.

-Nuts!

-I can't believe it.

-It all feels true now.

-Ordinary scans

-are nothing like this.

-It's amazing!

-I've seen my baby's face

-for the first time.

-I can't believe it.

-In a month's time, maybe less...

-..we'll meet our little girl.

-That's her nose.

-We've seen her face...

-..her little feet...

-..and tongue.

-A lot of her tongue!

-She's flexible.

-Her feet are up by her face.

-Her backside is here somewhere.

-Sometimes, her backside comes out

-in a big lump at night.

-I wondered if it was her head.

-It's obviously her backside.

-You thought it was her head.

-Her head is down here,

-ready to come out...

-..soon, hopefully.

-I can feel her kicking.

-It didn't make sense.

-How could her feet and head be here?

-But they are. It makes sense now.

-Is there any chance that

-she could move around again?

-There's a chance.

-But generally, they know

-what they're supposed to do.

-Usually,

-they're in the right position.

-She needs to turn to look

-at your back. She's facing this way.

-When they're born...

-..their shoulders come out

-and the head goes like that.

-If she's looking at your back,

-it eases the exit.

-They make your eyes water.

-I've gone from eating

-a little every day to a lot.

-I can eat all the time, 24/7.

-I'm eating for two!

-I need the energy.

-I love eating.

-Steff, fair play, is cooking supper.

-What are we having?

-Spaghetti Bolognese.

-Lovely. Thanks!

-I can sit down, have a chill...

-..and let him do all the work

-for once.

-I usually cook.

-We saw a video on the internet...

-..of two digestive biscuits...

-..with marshmallows in the middle.

-It was covered in Nutella

-and put in a deep fat fryer.

-We're not good at deep fat frying.

-The room filled with smoke.

-The fire alarm went off.

-We gave up on that.

-But it still tasted really nice.

-I feel sad when he looks downcast

-if something burns.

-I feel sorry for him.

-At least he's trying.

-He's only young!

-This is the first proper meal

-you've cooked for me.

-Mmm!

-Lovely. Thanks.

-You can do this again.

-You can cook more often.

-I'll remember that you can do it.

-We're in a room in hospital.

-I'm ready to get the baby out.

-You're lucky you're boys.

-So, so lucky.

-There's no way you appreciate

-what women go through.

-They're very intense.

-When did the contractions start?

-Poor thing.

-It's been going 24 hours.

-When I came in...

-..they put me on a monitor...

-..to make sure she's moving

-and the heartbeat is OK.

-I was examined to check

-everything is OK...

-..because I'm in so much pain.

-She said I might have

-a urine infection.

-That's why it's worse.

-She's back to back with me.

-I'm having lower back pains

-instead of where they should be.

-I hope she turns around.

-That's why it's such

-a slow process...

-..slower than usual.

-Yes.

-Come on. A longer push now.

-Push, push!

-Push, push!

-BABY CRIES

-Here's Cet.

-She's in the building.

-I went into labour...

-..at two in the morning.

-She arrived at 4.58am.

-It took three hours.

-I've impressed myself!

-I'm happy I managed to do it.

-I no way thought I could.

-It's worth all the pain.

-She's so pretty.

-It hasn't hit me yet I'm a mother.

-She'll grow up and call me Mam.

-It's nuts, isn't it?

-I cried through the whole thing.

-Didn't I? I was huffing and puffing.

-I didn't swear.

-For a change.

-We don't know how much she weighs.

-We'll find out when the midwife

-comes back.

-She's tiny.

-She's bigger than I thought.

-I thought she'd be smaller.

-I had a small belly.

-It feels like a dream.

-It doesn't feel real at all.

-No.

-Are you OK?

-Are you OK?

-Daughter of Alaw Williams...

-..me!

-Date of birth, sixth of October.

-Time, 4.58am.

-Normal birth.

-I never thought

-it would happen to me this early.

-I'm so young.

-I don't feel too young

-to have a baby.

-I'm a young grandmother!

-Nain is just a name.

-It's just a name.

-I came to the hospital with Dad.

-It didn't hit me

-that she had a baby.

-I wasn't that bothered.

-I came here the next day, held her,

-and started to cry!

-First size tights.

-Can I put them on her?

-When are you going to have a baby,

-Cadi?

-Oh!

-God, no. Not any time soon!

-No!

-No chance.

-Steff, you can take her out.

-I need to put my shoes on.

-Young mothers are having fantastic

-careers and fantastic lives.

-Why can't I, too?
