0:02:23 > 0:02:26- ..a Llangefni lad, - just saying "Hello."
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- She had a pretty face...

0:03:22 > 0:03:26- About an hour later, - I'm not sure, I was sleeping...
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- ..and she shook me like this.

0:03:38 > 0:03:40- I said, "Oh, great.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39- What have you eaten this morning?
0:04:40 > 0:04:43- Two toasts, two Weetabix - and a lot of sugar.

0:04:44 > 0:04:45- A lot of sugar?- - Yes.
0:04:46 > 0:04:47- And a Mars bar.
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- And a Mars bar.
0:04:51 > 0:04:56- That shows a tiny bit of what - we call glucose in your urine.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- It shows you have - sugar in your urine.
0:05:01 > 0:05:05- It could be something you ate. - We'll keep an eye on it.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09- You haven't had glucose - in your urine before.
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- For now, it's champion.
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- If you had it again...
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- ..we might test your blood...
0:05:19 > 0:05:22- ..for diabetes in pregnancy.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24- But don't worry about that now.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- If it shows up again, - we'll do that test.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- We've seen the midwife. - Everything is alright.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- I measured alright.
0:05:50 > 0:05:51- Everything's alright, overall.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52- Everything's alright, overall.- - Yes.
0:05:52 > 0:05:57- I'll cut down on sugar. I eat - too much chocolate, apparently.
0:05:57 > 0:06:01- I've been snacking on chocolate - to get my blood pressure up.
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- No wonder you've grown so big.
0:06:03 > 0:06:04- No wonder you've grown so big.- - Yes!
0:06:04 > 0:06:06- Never mind.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35- ..and three friends, - if they turn up!
0:06:36 > 0:06:39- I went to Cardiff - two and a half weeks ago.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- I found the perfect dress.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- My friends struggled to zip it up.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- As I said, I'll see if it fits - in two and a half weeks.
0:06:50 > 0:06:53- I haven't tried it since. - It'll be hard work.
0:06:54 > 0:06:54- There's no hope.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- There's no hope.- - There is!
0:06:59 > 0:07:03- I'm not supposed to do - things like this. Hold that.
0:07:09 > 0:07:11- Done?
0:07:11 > 0:07:13- Amazing! It fits!
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- What do you think?

0:07:18 > 0:07:20- It fits.- - Very pretty.
0:07:20 > 0:07:21- Lucky!

0:07:57 > 0:08:01- I was in heels - and felt a bit off my balance.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03- Karen Maskell.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- I didn't think about the course.
0:08:07 > 0:08:14- I thought, "Don't fall on the - woman I'm shaking hands with."
0:08:15 > 0:08:17- And I thought about them - looking at me.
0:08:23 > 0:08:27- I have a lot more - opportunities ahead of me now.
0:08:27 > 0:08:32- We'll see what the future brings - and offers me.
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- I don't really know what it holds.
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- I'm a bit busy now, brewing a baby!
0:08:37 > 0:08:41- After that, - I don't know what I'll do.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- But at least I'm ready.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47- We're a lot more prepared - for the future than before.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- So the three years were worth it.
0:09:01 > 0:09:02- Oh! A kick.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07- It's grown since last time.
0:09:07 > 0:09:08- It's grown since last time.- - That's good.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09- Is that the head?
0:09:09 > 0:09:10- Is that the head?- - Yes.
0:09:12 > 0:09:14- The hands are right in the front.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17- The face, eyes, nose, mouth.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20- Wow!
0:09:20 > 0:09:22- Look.
0:09:23 > 0:09:25- The feet, the heart.
0:09:27 > 0:09:28- It's grown.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31- It was like this.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33- Look at the size of her nose!
0:09:34 > 0:09:35- Bless!
0:09:35 > 0:09:36- CHUCKLES
0:09:41 > 0:09:45- I got your nose. No you haven't, - that's only half the size!
0:09:45 > 0:09:47- The nose is real us, the Ewings.
0:09:49 > 0:09:50- Your side.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52- We all have the same nose.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Not that we didn't - believe she's there...
0:10:02 > 0:10:04- ..but it's nice to see her.
0:10:05 > 0:10:06- Bless.
0:10:06 > 0:10:07- I'm amazed.

0:11:17 > 0:11:19- Yes, wet mud.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- We run through electric shocks.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25- And swim through ice.
0:11:25 > 0:11:26- And swim through ice.- - Yes.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- I sit there watching.
0:11:28 > 0:11:32- And a commando crawl, - low down under barbed wire.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34- Daft things like that.
0:11:42 > 0:11:44- Well done! Did you have fun?
0:11:44 > 0:11:45- Well done! Did you have fun?- - In the end.
0:11:46 > 0:11:48- Did you do all the obstacles?
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- I missed two, I think.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53- I couldn't do the Everest. - I kept slipping.
0:11:55 > 0:11:59- I fell back in the water.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- You did well.
0:12:03 > 0:12:06- Twelve miles is a lot to do.
0:12:07 > 0:12:10- I'm cold. I need a shower and food.
0:12:10 > 0:12:12- I'm proud of you.
0:12:12 > 0:12:13- Thanks.
0:12:15 > 0:12:18- If it wasn't for you, - I wouldn't do it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:20- Happy Birthday.
0:12:21 > 0:12:22- Love you.
0:12:33 > 0:12:34- Hello. How are you?
0:12:34 > 0:12:36- Hello. How are you?- - Fine, thanks.
0:12:36 > 0:12:37- Excellent.
0:12:40 > 0:12:41- Is Liam OK?
0:12:41 > 0:12:44- Is Liam OK?- - Yes, in work, so I can have a break!
0:12:45 > 0:12:47- Bless him!
0:12:50 > 0:12:54- There's an acceleration - once they move.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- I need to find the baseline.
0:13:01 > 0:13:03- My tummy is noisy.
0:13:04 > 0:13:06- That's your pulse.
0:13:06 > 0:13:08- I can feel it.
0:13:10 > 0:13:12- Can I ask you to go to be monitored?
0:13:16 > 0:13:20- Yes. I've just listened in - and the baseline is 170.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25- Can I send her in for a monitoring?
0:13:26 > 0:13:27- Thank you. Llangefni.
0:13:28 > 0:13:32- Liam is on his way. - I've told him it's a precaution.
0:13:32 > 0:13:37- They can tell a lot more than us - with the monitor.
0:13:38 > 0:13:42- They'll do a proper tracing - of the heartbeat.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46- We have to go to Ysbyty Gwynedd.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50- The baby's heartbeat is a bit quick.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- That's all I know. - I had a text and came straightaway.
0:13:57 > 0:13:58- The place will be closed.
0:13:58 > 0:14:00- The place will be closed.- - I wasn't ready.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- I wasn't ready to leave work, - not that I'm complaining.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25- I hope everything is OK.
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- The midwife thinks perhaps - it's a movement I made...
0:14:30 > 0:14:32- ..that maybe I do too much.
0:14:32 > 0:14:37- I didn't do anything this morning. - Anyway, it's OK.
0:14:38 > 0:14:40- 14 October
0:14:43 > 0:14:47- It's six days early, - and my waters broke...
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- ..at ten past five, this morning.
0:14:51 > 0:14:53- I ran to the toilet.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57- I've been excited ever since.
0:14:58 > 0:15:02- I've just started to have - minor pains, nothing serious.
0:15:02 > 0:15:04- We'll see how it goes.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09- They told us to come to the - assessment unit at three o'clock.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12- If I don't pop naturally - in the next 24 hours...
0:15:13 > 0:15:16- ..they'll induce me.
0:15:16 > 0:15:18- I had a shock.
0:15:18 > 0:15:23- Karen stormed to the toilet in - the night. All the lights were on.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25- I thought there was a burglary.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- Her waters had broken.
0:15:28 > 0:15:29- Yes.
0:15:30 > 0:15:35- We hope the baby arrives today.
0:15:35 > 0:15:36- Mmm.
0:15:37 > 0:15:38- All good.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59- Hiya, Karen? I've just - had a word with the doctor.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- She does say that you're - about three to four centimetres...
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- ..almost fully effaced.
0:16:06 > 0:16:09- Do you know what that means?
0:16:09 > 0:16:14- Your cervix is hard, - like the end of your nose.
0:16:14 > 0:16:15- It has to thin down.
0:16:16 > 0:16:20- It can't thin down until - you've done this nice softening.
0:16:20 > 0:16:23- Then these muscles - are shortening down.
0:16:23 > 0:16:27- The head gets pushed down - and it pulls this up.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32- The pressure of the head against - the cervix produces your hormone.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36- That goes through - your bloodstream to the uterus...
0:16:36 > 0:16:40- ..to make it contract - and then it pushes it down.
0:16:40 > 0:16:44- Head gets pushed against the cervix - a bit more, more hormone...
0:16:44 > 0:16:47- ..and you're setting up - a positive feedloop.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52- Each time you contract, that head's - getting down a little bit more...
0:16:52 > 0:16:55- ..and this is coming up - a little bit more.
0:16:55 > 0:16:59- It looks like you're about - on the way to going.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02- That was very well explained.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05- It's scary, - because it's happening now.
0:17:05 > 0:17:09- I didn't realize - you were that far gone.
0:17:09 > 0:17:12- She's a cool customer. Tough cookie!
0:17:13 > 0:17:14- She is.
0:17:17 > 0:17:18- I told you.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21- Have I got time for a McDonald's?
0:17:21 > 0:17:24- Have I got time for a McDonald's?- - Time for a McDonald's?!
0:17:24 > 0:17:29- You can have half - my tuna sandwich...
0:17:29 > 0:17:32- ..and Salt & Shake crisps...
0:17:32 > 0:17:34- ..whatever the NHS gives us!
0:17:38 > 0:17:41- Llifon Ward? No.
0:17:51 > 0:17:52- PHONE
0:17:52 > 0:17:56- It's Nain-to-be. She said half four.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01- Can I take it?
0:18:01 > 0:18:02- Hello.
0:18:03 > 0:18:04- Hiya!
0:18:05 > 0:18:07- Are you OK?
0:18:09 > 0:18:11- Not yet, halfway.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- Halfway.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17- I'm three to four centimetres.
0:18:20 > 0:18:21- Yes.
0:18:22 > 0:18:24- The pains have started.
0:18:24 > 0:18:28- I have to stay in the ward - for a while to see how I get on.
0:18:34 > 0:18:38- She's finally on the labour ward. - It's all systems go.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42- It's going to be a long night ahead.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- I feel terrible. She's in pain.
0:19:02 > 0:19:04- There's nothing I can do.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09- I'm trying to make her feel better.
0:19:11 > 0:19:15- We'll see. - She might warm up to me later.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20- I'm going to listen in.
0:19:27 > 0:19:31- It's a sharp scratch, OK? - Nice and still for me.
0:19:36 > 0:19:41- It's going to take ten, - twenty minutes to kick in.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- There's no straw.
0:19:59 > 0:20:00- What?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03- That wasn't very relaxing.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05- It was strenuous.
