-# Lord, I come

-to your awesome presence

-# From the shadows

-into your radiance #

-I could have lost both of them.

-I'd have no baby or girlfriend.

-So I feel very lucky.

-# Shine on me

-# Shine on me #

-How lucky are they all

-to be here today?

-Really lucky.

-Mr Banfield listened to Suzanne

-and a mother's intuition.

-She said something

-didn't feel right.

-If he hadn't taken her

-to have a section then...

-..maybe Eliza wouldn't be here,

-or would be really ill.

-# Flood the nations

-with grace and mercy #

-Ysbyty Glan Clwyd

-is a fantastic place...

-..full of amazing,

-very professional people.

-I can't help thinking if it wasn't

-for that place and that doctor...

-..on that day, that Eliza

-and me wouldn't be here.

-# Let there be light #

-I'm Kevin Rickard

-and I'm a HGV driver in Denbigh.

-My name's Suzanne Bradley and I'm

-a midwife at BCUHB in North Wales.

-I've been a single mum

-for seven years.

-Kind of allergic to men at the time!

-But then my best friend

-who I trust completely...

-..she's the one who introduced, or

-suggested that I should meet Kevin.

-I met Suzanne's friend.

-I said I wanted

-to find someone who makes me happy.

-She arranged a blind date for us.

-We hit it off!

-My first impression, I thought

-he was ace. He was really good.

-He made me laugh. He was

-just really nice, just a gentleman.

-He said all the right things. I

-didn't know if he was being polite.

-No.

-No.

-

-It continued.

-He's still the same.

-I was more nervous about telling

-Kevin about the fact I had children.

-I had a sleepless night before I

-plucked up the courage to tell him.

-Before, I told him...

-"..Please don't run for the hills.

-I have something to tell you..."

-..I think were the words.

-The children are amazing.

-I fitted in amazingly.

-Nothing changed after I came in.

-Everyone is happy. I'm happy.

-It didn't make me change.

-I didn't think

-it would happen so soon.

-I thought we'd try.

-Obviously, we were trying.

-We went on holiday.

-That was it. We came back

-with a little stowaway.

-It was really nice.

-Suzanne was really ill

-for a very long time.

-She had a lot of pain.

-Eliza didn't move a lot.

-So she went to hospital.

-They thought she was having

-a placental abruption.

-Eliza might have had to be born

-at 29 weeks, which is really early.

-I think we can make

-the presumption...

-..that the irregularity

-of the heartbeat...

-..as we were talking about before...

-..which reflects the immaturity.

-It was still moving yesterday.

-What you do is you throw

-in to atrial beats.

-You missed a ventricular one...

-..so it looks as if

-you're getting this odd rhythm.

-We've come for Suzanne's

-baby to be monitored.

-Her heart rate

-is skipping a beat sometimes.

-She's being monitored twice a day...

-..to check it out.

-Unless you've got a very fast

-or very slow pulse with the baby....

-..most people are chilled about it.

-I know you're never chilled about...

-I feel like...

-Even though I am reassured by how it

-sounds today, it's very different.

-I've read the bits

-in the literature.

-But it doesn't make me feel better.

-I just want to know she's alright.

-It's kind of until you have

-a baby and take it home...

-If there's a problem

-with her, then fine.

-But there's that grey area with her

-in my tummy still, is she alright?

-At 35 weeks, if I do an elective

-caesarean section on you...

-..there is a reasonable chance...

-..that I'm going to cause

-some form of respiratory problem.

-Yeah.

-You've had steroids in this

-pregnancy, so that should help.

-That is a known figure

-that you can put on.

-You've got to balance that against

-what is the chance at this point...

-..of us being in a situation

-where we couldn't deliver you...

-..before something went wrong.

-Then I would suggest to you it's

-much lower at this point in time.

-I want her to stay in

-for as long as she needs to be in.

-But I'm just worried with all

-that's happened in this pregnancy.

-I just want to know

-that she's alright now.

-For the first six weeks,

-she was sick.

-I held her hair back

-when she was in the toilet.

-Recently, the baby's heart

-has been skipping beats.

-It's being monitored

-twice a day this week.

-It has improved...

-..as the week has gone on.

-Sometimes, it's every third beat...

-..that it skips a beat.

-Or it's every minute.

-But it's better now, I hope.

-I'm Kevin's sister.

-I'm a student midwife in Bangor.

-I live in Denbigh.

-Because Kev works away

-with the driving...

-..sometimes I go with Suzanne

-to her appointments.

-I work all day.

-I only know when she phones me

-to say if everything's fine...

-..or if there's a problem.

-It's a bit of a strain...

-..if I'm in London...

-..and she phones me to say

-something's wrong with the baby.

-There's nothing I can do really...

-..except worry.

-There's nothing more I can do.

-But you can't help it.

-How are you doing? You alright?

-How are you doing? You alright?

-

-Yes, thank you. How are you?

-Very good.

-Head's still quite high, isn't it?

-It's sore. Just tender.

-You're back to back.

-Are you getting backache now?

-She is direct on me today.

-My right hip joint

-has been dodgy for a few weeks.

-It's horrendous just lately.

-But I've been tender over here.

-She's not LOA at the moment.

-She's not LOA at the moment.

-

-Is she not?

-She was, downstairs a minute ago.

-She's flipped round.

-That's her chin there.

-Really? Her movements have

-been off all weekend though.

-I haven't been up

-because I felt her.

-But it's been very different,

-really different.

-Since Friday night, it started.

-Have you had a CTG today?

-No, I came in, had a scan

-and came straight to see you.

-We'll get them to CTG you now.

-OK.

-The date that we've got

-in the diary for your section...

-..I brought it forward.

-To the sixth.

-Yes. You've had steroids.

-Yes. You've had steroids.

-

-Yes.

-Let's get the CTG.

-We'll take it from there.

-Suzanne will be monitored

-to check the baby's heartbeat...

-..before the consultant

-says he's happy...

-..for the baby to be born

-on the sixth of next month.

-What has the consultant

-just told her?

-He's happy with how much she's

-grown over the last fortnight.

-They just want to check

-the heartbeat again, really.

-Look at this trace here.

-I've got the advantage...

-..of a computer analysis

-of Suzanne's trace.

-If we go back to the start of it...

-..the heart rate was quite high.

-These look like decelerations.

-It looks like it's slowing.

-The computer thought

-the baseline was here.

-As it settles down, you can see it

-fits in more neatly with our idea...

-..that baseline

-was around 116 or 120.

-These are actually accelerations.

-This is great. Looking at this,

-there's lots of variability here.

-It's irritability

-along the bottom line.

-It's the bit looking at pressure

-in the womb, if she's contracting.

-She's not really, but the muscle

-is doing that kind of tightening.

-That's sometimes

-a sign of an abruption...

-..where there's bleeding

-behind the placenta.

-If you have lots

-of bleeding, you see it.

-But sometimes you get a situation

-in which it's concealed.

-The patient doesn't have many

-symptoms until it's too late.

-This is what we thought

-was wrong with her at 29 weeks.

-So we know that something

-like this is a possibility.

-Hello. Are you OK?

-Yes, thanks.

-The doctor wants you to come in.

-The doctor wants you to come in.

-

-OK.

-They don't know if there

-are dips in the baby's heart rate...

-..or whether

-the baseline has changed.

-They want you to come in,

-just in case.

-Suzanne told the doctor she

-isn't happy. That changed the plan.

-OK?

-Can you leave work?

-I'll leave now.

-I'll leave now.

-

-OK, then.

-The monitoring shows that Suzanne

-is having contractions.

-Mr Banfield thinks

-she's bleeding again.

-The placenta provides

-nutrients and oxygen for the baby.

-If she has a placental abruption...

-..the baby doesn't

-get food or oxygen.

-If they don't get her out,

-it could be really bad news.

-She had the cannula

-and they took a blood sample.

-They need to insert the epidural.

-When are they doing that?

-They have to wait

-for the blood to come back.

-The consultant thinks...

-..there's bleed to the placenta

-again.

-So, yes!

-It's better that she comes out.

-I hope she's OK.

-Well excited.

-Yes! And nervous, too.

-You're going to be a Dad in,

-I don't know how long...

-..before six tonight.

-..before six tonight.

-

-Within the next 24 hours.

-Less.

-Less.

-

-Well.

-In the next hour.

-By five o'clock tonight,

-you'll be a Dad!

-I'm not leaving.

-I'll wait to hear outside.

-Maisie has a driving lesson.

-Maisie has a driving lesson.

-

-Bless her.

-She's bound to be worried.

-It won't be a good driving lesson!

-Stalled! Bless her.

-Suzanne is scared of the epidural.

-I'm so excited.

-Does it go in the spine?

-Yes.

-I'll try to relax.

-I'll get you a tissue

-for your forehead.

-I was in the yard.

-Becky called.

-I told them I had to go

-because we're having a baby.

-Mad rush.

-But I'm here and on time!

-How do you feel?

-Excited and nervous.

-I'm more excited than nervous.

-Can't wait.

-I'm really scared now.

-We anticipated this in two weeks.

-I had two weeks to be scared,

-not a day.

-You didn't come in for this today.

-You didn't come in for this today.

-

-I came for a meeting.

-Oh, well.

-Oh, well.

-

-At least I've revalidated.

-The baby is going to be fine.

-You had your steroids, didn't you?

-You've got a lot longer

-than you expected.

-What are you having again?

-What are you having again?

-

-A girl.

-Got a name, or is that a surprise?

-We know her name.

-She's going to be called Eliza.

-Lovely. Are you OK there?

-I'm hot.

-He rushed here,

-put a woolly jumper on.

-We'll have you

-looking like me in no time.

-It might be a bit cooler then.

-It might be a bit cooler then.

-

-Thank god for that.

-Look how pale he is!

-I've never seen you look so white.

-I've never seen you look so white.

-

-I'll get a fan for you!

-You're really white.

-It's like seeing a ghost.

-Can I have that?

-You can have another one.

-Are you decent in there, Suzanne?

-Are you OK if we come in, Suzanne?

-Thank you very much.

-Pop those there, Suzanne.

-Can I just put the height of

-this up? It's just a little bit low.

-Sorry, Suzanne.

-Are you alright, Suzanne?

-Are you alright, Suzanne?

-

-I'm just nervous.

-Oh, yes. Oh, my gosh.

-Kevin is going to be outside now,

-Suzanne.

-The injection is big.

-We'll see you shortly, Dad.

-We'll see you shortly, Dad.

-

-Yes.

-We'll see you soon.

-Suzanne is in theatre.

-A lot of people are with her.

-She's having the epidural.

-She's a bit nervous.

-She knows the procedure

-as a midwife.

-She's nervous. I have to wait here.

-I'll get called in.

-And then the delivery commences.

-If Mr Banfield is right, and

-there is a placental abruption...

-..there's not much time

-to get her out.

-The heavy bleeding could be really

-serious for Eliza and Suzanne.

-SURGEON SPEAKS

-The baby is coming in a moment,

-Kevin.

-Wee all over the surgeon again!

-What time was she born, 17.28pm?

-Suzanne.

-We'll just take her to

-the paediatrician, OK? Here we go.

-I'll just lift her

-for you to move it.

-Make way for this.

-Thank you.

-Hello.

-Are you going to go to

-Mummy and Daddy? Hello, darling.

-Can I pass here a moment?

-You can have a little hello

-to your daughter.

-She's so cute.

-She's gorgeous.

-Look at that little nose,

-just like we thought.

-# Lord, I come

-to your awesome presence

-# From the shadows

-into your radiance

-# By the blood

-I may enter your brightness #

-Exhausted.

-I'm not stressed, relieved we've

-made it on time. That's how I feel.

-Eliza Beaux Balmford Rickard.

-I baptize you

-in the name of the Father...

-..and of the Son...

-..and of the Holy Spirit.

-# Flood the nations

-# With grace and glory #

-Eliza!

-We went to theatre

-just at the right time.

-The baby was born in perfect timing,

-for her to arrive safely.

-If we'd have waited

-for very much longer...

-..we might not be here

-to have this programme.

-The baby is healthy.

-I looked down...

-..and thought how lucky I am

-to have the family that I've got.
