0:00:35 > 0:00:39- Just after we married, - we decided to try for a baby.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42- Nothing happened for a few months.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- We started to worry.
0:00:44 > 0:00:47- We had to go through - the rigmarole of tests...
0:00:48 > 0:00:50- ..to check if my ovaries worked.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54- At one point, we thought - we couldn't have children...
0:00:54 > 0:00:57- ..because there were problems.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01- I went to Ysbyty Gwynedd - for an ultrasound scan...
0:01:01 > 0:01:04- ..to check if my ovaries worked.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06- The doctor told me...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09- "..Your ovaries must be working.
0:01:10 > 0:01:12- "There's a baby there."
0:01:13 > 0:01:15- I was at work. I'm a teacher.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- I had a phone call. - I was with a class.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- I picked the phone up and said, - "Don't call me here."
0:01:23 > 0:01:25- I heard, "I'm pregnant!"
0:01:25 > 0:01:28- I was in front - of a class of children.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31- I went out of the class - and said I'd phone you back.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- Then I carried on with the lesson. - That's how I heard.
0:01:39 > 0:01:45- We've been together for three years - and married for almost two years.
0:01:45 > 0:01:47- The baby is due in two weeks.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49- We're very happy.
0:01:49 > 0:01:51- Yes, I like to think we are.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- Sometimes I could throttle you!
0:01:56 > 0:01:58- Right. I accept that.
0:02:09 > 0:02:14- I'm here for a scan - to check if the baby is breech.
0:02:14 > 0:02:18- When I saw the midwife - two weeks ago, they weren't sure.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22- They could feel - the heartbeat here and here.
0:02:23 > 0:02:26- We're not sure at the moment.
0:02:27 > 0:02:29- Did the community midwife send you?
0:02:29 > 0:02:30- Did the community midwife send you?- - Yes.
0:02:30 > 0:02:31- How many weeks are you?
0:02:31 > 0:02:32- How many weeks are you?- - Thirty-six.
0:02:33 > 0:02:34- OK.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- So what I'll do - is try to feel with my hands...
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- ..to see if it's clear or not.
0:02:40 > 0:02:41- OK.
0:02:42 > 0:02:44- I'll use this scanner to check.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- It's looking like a breech.
0:02:52 > 0:02:53- Let's see.
0:02:53 > 0:02:54- Fine.
0:02:55 > 0:02:57- Is this your first baby?
0:02:57 > 0:02:58- Is this your first baby?- - Yes.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- There lies the head.
0:03:06 > 0:03:08- It shows you that this is breech.
0:03:08 > 0:03:09- It shows you that this is breech.- - OK.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- I've just been told - that the baby is breech.
0:03:13 > 0:03:15- It's a bit of a shock.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20- I don't know what to say, really.
0:03:20 > 0:03:23- They've booked me in - for a week today...
0:03:24 > 0:03:27- ..to see if they can - move the baby round.
0:03:27 > 0:03:28- So cross fingers.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32- I don't want a caesarean.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35- I hope not.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Cai has accepted a job - in Columbia, of all places.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53- This is the school - where Cai is going.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- Colegio Anglo Colombiano, - in Bogota.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- He went to London for an interview.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07- He had a second interview - on Skype with the Head.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11- He found out he had the job.
0:04:12 > 0:04:17- A few days later, I had - the appointment in Ysbyty Gwynedd.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24- I found out I was pregnant.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- Everything happened the same time.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30- My head was all over the place.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- We didn't change our plans.
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- After finding out, we said, - "A child is coming with us."
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- It's part of the adventure.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45- It didn't change anything. - It made us look forward more.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Marriage, birth certificate, - insurance.
0:04:49 > 0:04:53- Both of us must have - adventurous natures.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55- I've always been like that.
0:04:55 > 0:05:00- I've travelled the world - and worked in different places.
0:05:00 > 0:05:01- You like that too.
0:05:01 > 0:05:02- You like that too.- - Yes.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04- I can't keep still, anyway.
0:05:05 > 0:05:10- The main thing we have to organize - when the baby arrives...
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- ..is the birth certificate.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15- I can't do anything without it.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18- Then we'll have - to organize a passport.
0:05:19 > 0:05:23- I'll have to book an appointment - with the Consulate.
0:05:23 > 0:05:24- Yes.
0:05:24 > 0:05:27- Then we'll go - to London with the baby.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29- That'll be quite an experience.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- We've been there. It isn't too bad.
0:05:32 > 0:05:34- Do you remember the way?
0:05:35 > 0:05:37- Yes, just I'll have a baby.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- Oh, yes. I'll have to remember.
0:05:48 > 0:05:48- Hiya.
0:05:48 > 0:05:49- Hiya.- - Hello.
0:05:51 > 0:05:52- You want my notes, don't you?
0:05:52 > 0:05:53- You want my notes, don't you?- - Yes, please.
0:05:56 > 0:05:57- How did the scan go?
0:05:58 > 0:05:59- Well...
0:05:59 > 0:06:00- ..alright.
0:06:01 > 0:06:02- But I was a bit upset.
0:06:02 > 0:06:03- Were you?
0:06:04 > 0:06:05- They found out the baby is breech.
0:06:05 > 0:06:06- They found out the baby is breech.- - Oh!
0:06:08 > 0:06:10- I felt a bit flat yesterday.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15- I'm sure. People make plans - for a normal delivery.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18- Now the plans aren't quite the same.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- Did they give you two options?
0:06:22 > 0:06:25- They booked me in next Thursday.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30- To try and turn the baby?
0:06:31 > 0:06:32- Yes.
0:06:32 > 0:06:34- Are you happy about that?
0:06:34 > 0:06:35- Are you happy about that?- - Yes.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37- I just hope they can.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40- It could help.
0:06:40 > 0:06:44- It would save having a caesarean, - which is a major operation.
0:06:45 > 0:06:46- You can try to avoid it.
0:06:47 > 0:06:52- Did they show you a few positions - to help you turn the baby yourself?
0:06:52 > 0:06:53- No.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Go on all fours...
0:06:57 > 0:06:59- ..with your bottom up.
0:06:59 > 0:07:02- Lie like this - and watch TV for a bit.
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- If there's a chance, - the baby will turn.
0:07:06 > 0:07:07- It's worth a go.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11- The muscles are quite strong, - with the first baby.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14- Sometimes, babies - find it hard to turn.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16- That's one of the reasons.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20- It doesn't mean - you'd have a breech every time.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28- These are clothes - I've been collecting for the baby.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Just things like towels...
0:07:32 > 0:07:33- ..and little socks.
0:07:35 > 0:07:36- I love these.
0:07:36 > 0:07:38- They're like bootees.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45- In Bogota, it's going to be between - 12 and 18 degrees on average.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50- It's highland. - We're up in the Andes.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54- When you go down to the coast...
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- ..the weather is extremely hot.
0:07:57 > 0:07:59- It will be tropical.
0:07:59 > 0:08:03- We'll have to be - careful with the baby.
0:08:04 > 0:08:05- Sunglasses.
0:08:08 > 0:08:09- They're cute!
0:08:10 > 0:08:14- Everyone looks surprised when we - say we're going, but there we are.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- Other people think we're stars.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22- It's an excuse - to come and stay with us.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- They think - it's a chance for a holiday.
0:08:25 > 0:08:28- Especially for cyclist friends.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31- When they hear - about the mountains...
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- ..they say, - "That's a nice place to go."
0:08:39 > 0:08:40- Here?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41- Here?- - Yes.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48- We're back in Ysbyty Gwynedd.
0:08:49 > 0:08:51- The baby is breech.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55- I've been booked in - to try and turn the baby.
0:08:55 > 0:09:01- Hopefully, everything will go well, - or I'll need to have a caesarean.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08- They monitor the baby's heart.
0:09:10 > 0:09:12- They're going to inject me...
0:09:14 > 0:09:18- ..to try and relax the uterus...
0:09:18 > 0:09:21- ..so they can move the baby.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Is it uncomfortable, love?
0:09:36 > 0:09:37- It hurts.
0:09:40 > 0:09:44- Fair play to the doctor, - she was brilliant.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- But the baby won't budge.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50- I feel a bit flat.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- And to some extent...
0:09:56 > 0:09:57- ..I don't know...
0:09:59 > 0:10:00- ..disappointed.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05- But the baby is the priority.
0:10:08 > 0:10:13- I knew in the back of my mind - I might have to have a caesarean.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- Yes. What can you say?
0:10:17 > 0:10:18- .
0:10:27 > 0:10:27- Subtitles
0:10:27 > 0:10:29- Subtitles- - Subtitles
0:10:50 > 0:10:54- I'm waiting for Anna - to finish packing.
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- I'm ready and waiting.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59- I said we'd leave in five minutes.
0:10:59 > 0:11:03- There's a chance - she'll be ready in five minutes.
0:11:03 > 0:11:05- A small chance.
0:11:07 > 0:11:11- In a way, I'm glad - it's a caesarean...
0:11:11 > 0:11:14- ..and planned beforehand.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16- Everything will be prepared.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19- I've heard they put a screen up.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- If Anna takes the drugs...
0:11:25 > 0:11:29- ..there won't be so much squeezing - my hand and swearing at me.
0:11:30 > 0:11:34- For me personally, - I won't have to see as much blood.
0:11:34 > 0:11:36- I'm quite happy about that.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38- I have to say...
0:11:39 > 0:11:43- ..it took some persuading - to get Cai to come to theatre.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47- He found out there would be - a screen in front of me.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50- He felt happier.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53- Cai and blood don't mix.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57- You call these supplies.
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- You call these supplies.- - They won't let you in like that.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04- You'd swear I'm going for a week.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- One, two, three - four bags.
0:12:07 > 0:12:08- Five.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- Most is for the baby.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- The baby isn't here yet.
0:12:15 > 0:12:17- We're going to the hospital.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19- A round the world trip!
0:12:19 > 0:12:22- It's the day of the caesarean.
0:12:23 > 0:12:27- I'm a bit nervous. - I phoned my parents earlier.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31- I was a bit weepy.
0:12:32 > 0:12:36- We'll have a baby - by the end of the day.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- I hope so.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Ready?
0:12:51 > 0:12:54- I'm taking everything with me.
0:12:54 > 0:12:58- I explained to Anna she can - only take one bag in with her.
0:12:59 > 0:13:03- There's a bag for nappies, - a bag for snacks...
0:13:03 > 0:13:07- ..a bag for the baby, - and a bag for me.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27- We were here early today, - about 9.20am.
0:13:29 > 0:13:32- We've seen the anaesthetist...
0:13:33 > 0:13:35- ..the doctor and midwives.
0:13:35 > 0:13:40- They've explained the procedure. - Anna has a drip in her hand.
0:13:41 > 0:13:44- She isn't keen about that.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- We've been waiting. - It's quite tiring.
0:13:48 > 0:13:51- I can come and go - and have a bite to eat.
0:13:51 > 0:13:55- She hasn't eaten - since half past six.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- She's quite low.
0:13:58 > 0:14:02- We're waiting for Anna - to be taken to the Labour Ward.
0:14:02 > 0:14:06- The woman in front of her - has finished.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- They're clearing up.
0:14:09 > 0:14:11- It won't be long now.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16- Because you haven't eaten...
0:14:16 > 0:14:19- ..this medicine is for acid reflux.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22- I had some earlier.
0:14:22 > 0:14:27- It isn't very nice. - But you have to drink it all.
0:14:31 > 0:14:36- Anna's having a caesarean because - it's a breech presentation.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39- The baby exits buttocks first.
0:14:39 > 0:14:44- This morning, I met her to say - I'd be taking her to theatre.
0:14:44 > 0:14:48- We double-check everything.
0:14:48 > 0:14:51- We make sure - the baby is still in breech.
0:14:52 > 0:14:56- We're taking her to theatre - to be checked again.
0:14:57 > 0:14:59- Let's go to the Labour Ward.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10- Cai, Come here to hold her hand!
0:15:12 > 0:15:14- Sticky plastic on your back.
0:15:15 > 0:15:18- There we go.
0:15:22 > 0:15:26- The needle's going in your back now.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28- You're doing great.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Thank you.
0:15:40 > 0:15:45- In the background, you'll - hear "shhh". That's the sucker.
0:15:49 > 0:15:53- In the next five minutes, - it'll change to "chhh".
0:15:53 > 0:15:57- That's your waters going, - just about where the baby is.
0:16:02 > 0:16:06- It'll feel like somebody - is sitting on your chest.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11- They're not really. - This is to give the baby some air.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16- The baby will be blue - and there'll be blood.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19- It might not cry straightaway.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49- BABY CRIES
0:16:55 > 0:16:57- BABY CRIES
0:17:03 > 0:17:08- The most important thing - is to keep her warm.
0:17:08 > 0:17:11- We'll measure and weigh her.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Because she's a breech baby...
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- ..her legs stay up.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26- I'm going to weigh her.
0:17:26 > 0:17:28- BABY CRIES
0:17:32 > 0:17:35- 3488.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41- I'll check her over - to make sure her eyes are OK.
0:17:41 > 0:17:45- She's opened her mouth - and I can see inside her palate.
0:17:46 > 0:17:49- I'm checking her fingers.
0:17:50 > 0:17:55- I'll turn her over - to make sure her back is OK.
0:17:56 > 0:17:58- She's lovely.
0:18:00 > 0:18:04- Babies get cold quickly.
0:18:04 > 0:18:08- We'll wrap her - in a towel and take her to Mam.
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- She's trembling!
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- Is it a nice feeling?
0:18:35 > 0:18:38- Look how beautiful she is.
0:18:44 > 0:18:47- This is Elan Aran Roberts.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52- She weighs seven pounds, - four ounces.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57- She's beautiful.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01- Her mother is still having stitches.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07- We're expecting her to come - to the recovery room any minute...
0:19:07 > 0:19:10- ..through there, I'm not sure.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15- She's been with her mother.
0:19:15 > 0:19:20- They had skin-to-skin contact in - the final stages of the operation.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22- She was with her for ten minutes.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- The midwife gave her to me.
0:19:25 > 0:19:29- I don't know how much - she trusts me with Elan!
0:19:29 > 0:19:32- She looks content.
0:19:32 > 0:19:38- I've just felt her having a pee, - or a poo. One of the two.
0:19:38 > 0:19:40- I felt it under my thumb.
0:19:43 > 0:19:47- Where's your mother - to clean you up?!
0:19:47 > 0:19:50- Everything went well in theatre...
0:19:50 > 0:19:54- ..just as we expected.
0:19:55 > 0:20:00- The baby has had skin-to-skin - contact with Mam. She'll be fed now.
