-I'm Liam Ewing.

-I've always lived in Llangefni.

-I'm a keen footballer

-and play for Llangefni.

-I've played for North Wales teams.

-I work full-time

-in a plastic and steel factory.

-I'm Karen Maskell. I work

-in a residential home in Llangoed.

-I used to work in a chip shop.

-I used to work in a chip shop.

-

-Until it burnt down.

-It burnt down, sadly,

-almost a year ago.

-Anything else about me?

-That's it.

-We're boring.

-We're boring.

-

-We are.

-To be honest,

-I didn't fancy you for a long time.

-No. You're not really my type.

-No, I didn't think you were!

-I was working

-in a town pub, on the door.

-I was throwing people out

-at the end of the night.

-It was late.

-Karen was one of the last ones.

-I had to tell her to go.

-I didn't want to.

-I wanted to flirt with her,

-but I was shy.

-I didn't see it as flirting.

-I just saw it as...

-..a Llangefni lad,

-just saying "Hello."

-She had a pretty face...

-..and a sexy figure.

-That's all.

-I fancied her the moment I saw her.

-I said, "That girl's

-going to be mine."

-To myself!

-I didn't have the guts to tell her.

-How did you find out

-you were pregnant?

-I don't really know.

-I was sleeping.

-Don't say that!

-Don't say that!

-

-I was!

-I finished a night shift at 6.00am.

-I had a shower and went to bed.

-Karen stayed in bed

-for about an hour.

-She got up and I fell asleep.

-About an hour later,

-I'm not sure, I was sleeping...

-..and she shook me like this.

-She stuffed the pregnancy

-stick in my face.

-I said, "Oh, great.

-"See you later."

-I heard the door close.

-She'd gone to Tesco to buy

-an expensive pregnancy test.

-I realized what she said.

-"Oh!

-"Wow!"

-She phoned on the way home

-and asked, "Are you happy?"

-I didn't know what to say.

-It was something we wanted.

-It was something

-we both wanted together.

-Are you feeling well today?

-Are you feeling well today?

-

-Yes, thanks.

-You're due the 20th of October.

-Twenty seven and four.

-Have you brought a urine sample?

-Sorry.

-No problem.

-It's hot here.

-What have you eaten this morning?

-Two toasts, two Weetabix

-and a lot of sugar.

-A lot of sugar?

-A lot of sugar?

-

-Yes.

-And a Mars bar.

-And a Mars bar.

-That shows a tiny bit of what

-we call glucose in your urine.

-It shows you have

-sugar in your urine.

-It could be something you ate.

-We'll keep an eye on it.

-You haven't had glucose

-in your urine before.

-For now, it's champion.

-If you had it again...

-..we might test your blood...

-..for diabetes in pregnancy.

-But don't worry about that now.

-If it shows up again,

-we'll do that test.

-We've seen the midwife.

-Everything is alright.

-I measured alright.

-Everything's alright, overall.

-Everything's alright, overall.

-

-Yes.

-I'll cut down on sugar. I eat

-too much chocolate, apparently.

-I've been snacking on chocolate

-to get my blood pressure up.

-No wonder you've grown so big.

-No wonder you've grown so big.

-

-Yes!

-Never mind.

-Karen, it's a big day.

-Yes.

-I'm graduating.

-It's at 1.00pm.

-I have a BA

-in Management And Business.

-With Honours, I hope.

-Liam is coming with me.

-We're meeting Mam shortly,

-his parents...

-..and three friends,

-if they turn up!

-I went to Cardiff

-two and a half weeks ago.

-I found the perfect dress.

-My friends struggled to zip it up.

-As I said, I'll see if it fits

-in two and a half weeks.

-I haven't tried it since.

-It'll be hard work.

-There's no hope.

-There's no hope.

-

-There is!

-I'm not supposed to do

-things like this. Hold that.

-Done?

-Amazing! It fits!

-What do you think?

-It fits.

-It fits.

-

-Very pretty.

-Lucky!

-I went on stage

-when my name was called.

-I was in heels

-and felt a bit off my balance.

-Karen Maskell.

-I didn't think about the course.

-I thought, "Don't fall on the

-woman I'm shaking hands with."

-And I thought about them

-looking at me.

-I have a lot more

-opportunities ahead of me now.

-We'll see what the future brings

-and offers me.

-I don't really know what it holds.

-I'm a bit busy now, brewing a baby!

-After that,

-I don't know what I'll do.

-But at least I'm ready.

-We're a lot more prepared

-for the future than before.

-So the three years were worth it.

-Oh! A kick.

-It's grown since last time.

-It's grown since last time.

-

-That's good.

-Is that the head?

-Is that the head?

-

-Yes.

-The hands are right in the front.

-The face, eyes, nose, mouth.

-Wow!

-Look.

-The feet, the heart.

-It's grown.

-It was like this.

-Look at the size of her nose!

-Bless!

-CHUCKLES

-I got your nose. No you haven't,

-that's only half the size!

-The nose is real us, the Ewings.

-Your side.

-We all have the same nose.

-Amazing.

-Amazing.

-

-It is.

-Brilliant.

-Not that we didn't

-believe she's there...

-..but it's nice to see her.

-Bless.

-I'm amazed.

-I think I'd like

-a scan every day, every week.

-SHOUTING

-We have twins!

-Oh!

-It's an obstacle course

-over twelve miles.

-In mud.

-Yes, wet mud.

-We run through electric shocks.

-And swim through ice.

-And swim through ice.

-

-Yes.

-I sit there watching.

-And a commando crawl,

-low down under barbed wire.

-Daft things like that.

-Well done! Did you have fun?

-Well done! Did you have fun?

-

-In the end.

-Did you do all the obstacles?

-I missed two, I think.

-I couldn't do the Everest.

-I kept slipping.

-I fell back in the water.

-You did well.

-Twelve miles is a lot to do.

-I'm cold. I need a shower and food.

-I'm proud of you.

-Thanks.

-If it wasn't for you,

-I wouldn't do it.

-Happy Birthday.

-Love you.

-Hello. How are you?

-Hello. How are you?

-

-Fine, thanks.

-Excellent.

-Is Liam OK?

-Is Liam OK?

-

-Yes, in work, so I can have a break!

-Bless him!

-There's an acceleration

-once they move.

-I need to find the baseline.

-My tummy is noisy.

-That's your pulse.

-I can feel it.

-Can I ask you to go to be monitored?

-Yes. I've just listened in

-and the baseline is 170.

-Can I send her in for a monitoring?

-Thank you. Llangefni.

-Liam is on his way.

-I've told him it's a precaution.

-They can tell a lot more than us

-with the monitor.

-They'll do a proper tracing

-of the heartbeat.

-We have to go to Ysbyty Gwynedd.

-The baby's heartbeat is a bit quick.

-That's all I know.

-I had a text and came straightaway.

-The place will be closed.

-The place will be closed.

-

-I wasn't ready.

-I wasn't ready to leave work,

-not that I'm complaining.

-I hope everything is OK.

-The midwife thinks perhaps

-it's a movement I made...

-..that maybe I do too much.

-I didn't do anything this morning.

-Anyway, it's OK.

-14 October

-It's six days early,

-and my waters broke...

-..at ten past five, this morning.

-I ran to the toilet.

-I've been excited ever since.

-I've just started to have

-minor pains, nothing serious.

-We'll see how it goes.

-They told us to come to the

-assessment unit at three o'clock.

-If I don't pop naturally

-in the next 24 hours...

-..they'll induce me.

-I had a shock.

-Karen stormed to the toilet in

-the night. All the lights were on.

-I thought there was a burglary.

-Her waters had broken.

-Yes.

-We hope the baby arrives today.

-Mmm.

-All good.

-Hiya, Karen? I've just

-had a word with the doctor.

-She does say that you're

-about three to four centimetres...

-..almost fully effaced.

-Do you know what that means?

-Your cervix is hard,

-like the end of your nose.

-It has to thin down.

-It can't thin down until

-you've done this nice softening.

-Then these muscles

-are shortening down.

-The head gets pushed down

-and it pulls this up.

-The pressure of the head against

-the cervix produces your hormone.

-That goes through

-your bloodstream to the uterus...

-..to make it contract

-and then it pushes it down.

-Head gets pushed against the cervix

-a bit more, more hormone...

-..and you're setting up

-a positive feedloop.

-Each time you contract, that head's

-getting down a little bit more...

-..and this is coming up

-a little bit more.

-It looks like you're about

-on the way to going.

-That was very well explained.

-It's scary,

-because it's happening now.

-I didn't realize

-you were that far gone.

-She's a cool customer. Tough cookie!

-She is.

-I told you.

-Have I got time for a McDonald's?

-Have I got time for a McDonald's?

-

-Time for a McDonald's?!

-You can have half

-my tuna sandwich...

-..and Salt & Shake crisps...

-..whatever the NHS gives us!

-Llifon Ward? No.

-PHONE

-It's Nain-to-be. She said half four.

-Can I take it?

-Hello.

-Hiya!

-Are you OK?

-Not yet, halfway.

-Halfway.

-I'm three to four centimetres.

-Yes.

-The pains have started.

-I have to stay in the ward

-for a while to see how I get on.

-She's finally on the labour ward.

-It's all systems go.

-It's going to be a long night ahead.

-I feel terrible. She's in pain.

-There's nothing I can do.

-I'm trying to make her feel better.

-We'll see.

-She might warm up to me later.

-I'm going to listen in.

-It's a sharp scratch, OK?

-Nice and still for me.

-It's going to take ten,

-twenty minutes to kick in.

-There's no straw.

-What?

-That wasn't very relaxing.

-It was strenuous.

-What if just the head comes out

-and nothing else?

-She'll definitely come out,

-don't worry.

-You've brought her this far.

-She'll come.

-It hurts.

-Little babe.

-Yes, that's it.

-Fantastic, well done.

-More, more, more.

-Fantastic. And again if you can.

-Don't be afraid.

-Fantastic.

-I want you to use your voice

-to soothe Karen.

-That's very important.

-That's better than a paracetamol.

-The baby is happy.

-And again, go past that sting.

-You can do it. Fantastic.

-Let's see the baby.

-A bit more, a bit more. Keep going.

-You can do it, Karen. Well done.

-A little bit more. Little pushes.

-Little pushes.

-Little pushes, right into your

-bottom. Fantastic. A bit more.

-And again.

-Right down into your bottom.

-Fantastic. A bit more, one more,

-as big as you can.

-Brilliant, well done.

-That's it.

-Well done.

-Congratulations.

-01.26am.

-Can you pass the towel, please?

-Welcome, baby.

-Congratulations.

-I feel fantastic.

-It was worth it.

-I thought I was going to fail.

-But I finished.

-And she's here, and she's worth it.

-You were awesome.

-Things haven't settled yet,

-but it was worth the wait.

-She's worth the wait.

-How do you feel?

-How do you feel?

-

-Crazy, isn't it?

-You did well, fair play,

-supporting my leg.

-I didn't do anything.

-Perfect. Like her father.

-Perfect. Like her father.

-

-You're a dad now.

-Scary, isn't it?

-Speechless.

-Yeah, basically.

-Bless you.
