0:00:44 > 0:00:46- We've been together seven years.
0:00:46 > 0:00:50- Geraint has a son, - and we have a son together.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53- I'm eight months pregnant.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56- It's my second, Geraint's third.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00- I was only 23 when we met.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04- I didn't expect to take on - someone else's child.
0:01:04 > 0:01:07- We dealt with it.
0:01:08 > 0:01:10- I love Jac as if he was my own.
0:01:10 > 0:01:13- I treat him just as I would - my own child.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19- My name is Jac Madoc Evans...
0:01:20 > 0:01:23- ..and... where is he?
0:01:23 > 0:01:27- That's my little brother, Iolo.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- I'm going to have another - little brother. His name is Lewis.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39- I'll know more this time...
0:01:39 > 0:01:43- ..because I've been - through the process with Iolo.
0:01:44 > 0:01:48- I can help more with Lewis.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53- We decided to try again.
0:01:54 > 0:01:58- There's a big gap - between Iolo and Jac.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04- There are eight and a half, - almost nine years, between them.
0:02:04 > 0:02:08- We didn't want a big gap - between Iolo and the new baby.
0:02:08 > 0:02:13- So we started to try. It happened - much sooner than we'd planned!
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- We thought perhaps in the new year.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19- It was a nice Christmas surprise.
0:02:21 > 0:02:22- OUR FAMILY
0:02:22 > 0:02:24- We wanted to know the sex.
0:02:25 > 0:02:27- A boy could share Iolo's room.
0:02:28 > 0:02:32- We wouldn't have a spare room - if it was a girl.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36- That's why we wanted - to know the baby's sex...
0:02:36 > 0:02:39- ..so it would be easier - to plan ahead.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43- The name came to me one day.
0:02:44 > 0:02:48- It helps knowing what to keep...
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- ..and what we'd need to get...
0:02:51 > 0:02:53- ..for the baby.
0:02:53 > 0:02:57- That's Iolo's bed.
0:02:57 > 0:02:59- This is Lewis's side.
0:02:59 > 0:03:03- Everything has been thrown - on Lewis's bed.
0:03:04 > 0:03:07- It's ready for him.
0:03:08 > 0:03:13- They can share this room - for a few years, hopefully.
0:03:14 > 0:03:17- We'll only need to get new beds.
0:03:17 > 0:03:21- They'll have bunk beds eventually.
0:03:23 > 0:03:27- These frames are for Iolo and Lewis.
0:03:28 > 0:03:32- I haven't had time to finish Iolo's.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39- The plan is to add the final - three photos after the birth.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- One thing is different.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45- One thing is different.- - Yes.
0:03:46 > 0:03:48- It'll be odd...
0:03:49 > 0:03:53- ..to give birth without Mam - being there.
0:03:56 > 0:04:01- There have only been girls in - the family for three generations.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06- I'm the only one who's had a boy.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08- Two.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Mam only saw one.
0:04:11 > 0:04:14- She was over the moon to meet Iolo.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- And now I'm bringing - another boy to the family.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22- Neither Mam nor Dad - are here to meet him.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24- I hope she'll be there with me.
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- My sister hopes to be there - instead of Mam.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- Geraint will be with me.
0:04:31 > 0:04:34- It's been an emotional journey...
0:04:36 > 0:04:38- ..expecting this baby.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43- Mam wasn't with me - through the pregnancy.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48- Mam was really against tattoos...
0:04:52 > 0:04:54- ..until just after Dad died.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57- Dad had one tattoo.
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- After Dad died, - it changed the way she thought.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05- She wanted something - to remember him by.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08- She ended up having four!
0:05:11 > 0:05:13- I have 14 tattoos.
0:05:17 > 0:05:21- That's a tattoo for Jac, - my stepson.
0:05:22 > 0:05:27- That's for Iolo, our son.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33- Now I have to decide - where to put Lewis.
0:05:42 > 0:05:47- We're doing a mould of my belly.
0:05:48 > 0:05:52- This is the one I did - when I was expecting Iolo.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- It shows the size of my belly.
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- I'll put it there.
0:06:01 > 0:06:05- It's like the plaster of Paris - they used years ago.
0:06:07 > 0:06:09- Geraint is doing it.
0:06:11 > 0:06:14- It's something different.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18- We haven't heard of anyone - else doing it.
0:06:19 > 0:06:23- There are things we forget, - after giving birth.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26- It's a nice keepsake.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29- It has to go all over your belly.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31- Ha-ha.
0:06:31 > 0:06:36- He's teasing me that there are not - enough strips to cover my belly...
0:06:36 > 0:06:38- ..because I'm so fat.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- It feels odd. It isn't ticklish.
0:06:43 > 0:06:45- It feels wet and heavy.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50- He's wondering what's going on. - I can feel him move.
0:06:51 > 0:06:53- It dries quickly.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00- It'll take...
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- ..how long was it?
0:07:02 > 0:07:06- It took four days - to dry completely.
0:07:08 > 0:07:11- We put about three layers on.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- Every piece is covered...
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- ..so it's stronger.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21- OK, done?
0:07:23 > 0:07:26- I can't sit down!
0:07:27 > 0:07:29- I'll stand.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32- I don't want to spoil it.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39- I can feel the baby move underneath.
0:07:40 > 0:07:44- I'm sure he's wondering what - we're doing, what's pressing on him.
0:07:47 > 0:07:51- It's coming off now. - We'll see if it worked.
0:07:59 > 0:08:00- It's done.
0:08:00 > 0:08:02- It's done.- - The mould is finished.
0:08:03 > 0:08:07- Now it's a question - of how soon the baby arrives.
0:08:07 > 0:08:11- This was done a day and a half - before Iolo arrived.
0:08:11 > 0:08:15- What will be the difference in size - between now...
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- ..and when the baby arrives?
0:08:27 > 0:08:29- I'm in Ysbyty Gwynedd.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36- I came in on Friday. - The baby wasn't moving properly.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- He wasn't moving - to his usual pattern.
0:08:40 > 0:08:44- I phoned Friday afternoon - for advice.
0:08:44 > 0:08:46- They asked me to come in.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- I've been here - Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52- I had a scan on Monday.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- Last night, they decided - I should stay overnight.
0:08:57 > 0:08:59- I had contractions last night.
0:08:59 > 0:09:02- They've decided to induce me.
0:09:03 > 0:09:06- They induced me half an hour ago.
0:09:06 > 0:09:10- I'm just waiting - for the baby to arrive.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- It's really exciting.
0:09:13 > 0:09:17- I hope it won't take too long. - I want to meet him now.
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- We're bringing the labour forward.
0:09:25 > 0:09:29- We give the mother - an internal pessary.
0:09:29 > 0:09:33- It helps to ripen the cervix.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38- This can take up to 24 hours.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43- Sometimes, - we have to repeat the process.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- Usually, after 24 hours...
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- ..the mother - is two centimetres dilated.
0:09:51 > 0:09:53- We can break her waters.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58- There's no pattern - to the contractions.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00- They're quite often.
0:10:01 > 0:10:04- They're not strong, - but they're painful.
0:10:05 > 0:10:08- This is the baby's movement.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- These are my contractions.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- The peaks denote a contraction.
0:10:14 > 0:10:19- I'm having a few contractions now. - It's exciting.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22- I feel the tightening.
0:10:22 > 0:10:27- I have to let them know - once the contractions are stronger.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31- If I'm going to the Labour Ward, - something is going on.
0:10:32 > 0:10:34- Something is happening.
0:10:34 > 0:10:38- He's ready to come out. - I'm having a lot of contractions.
0:10:38 > 0:10:41- The baby will be here soon, I hope!
0:10:47 > 0:10:47- .

0:11:10 > 0:11:15- Tara has come over here. - The labour contractions are strong.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19- She's coping just - with Entonox at the moment.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- She might need something stronger. - We'll see. It's up to Tara.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26- GROANS
0:11:26 > 0:11:28- Keep going with that.
0:11:30 > 0:11:32- Take deep breaths. Well done.
0:11:33 > 0:11:37- We'll do a second assessment - in ten minutes.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43- We usually do this every four hours.
0:11:44 > 0:11:46- It's time for another assessment.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52- You're about three centimetres.
0:11:52 > 0:11:53- OK.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55- Was that what you were before?
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- She isn't much further - along than a few hours ago.
0:12:04 > 0:12:08- She's still three - centimetres dilated.
0:12:09 > 0:12:13- But the pains are - stronger now and still going.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21- Are the pains - about the same strength?
0:12:22 > 0:12:25- If the pains aren't regular...
0:12:25 > 0:12:29- ..we can consider - breaking the waters earlier.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34- Or do you want to wait an hour, - then think about doing that?
0:12:34 > 0:12:35- I don't want to wait an hour.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37- I don't want to wait an hour.- - You don't want to wait!
0:12:37 > 0:12:38- CHUCKLES
0:12:38 > 0:12:39- Would you like...
0:12:39 > 0:12:41- Would you like...- - I want to be asleep in an hour.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- With the baby over there.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49- Do you want me to move things on?
0:12:49 > 0:12:50- I'll do my magic!
0:12:51 > 0:12:52- CHUCKLES
0:12:52 > 0:12:54- Then you'll be happy.
0:12:54 > 0:12:56- OK, we'll do that now.
0:12:56 > 0:12:59- I've had contractions - since last night.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03- Do they all last for 60 seconds?
0:13:03 > 0:13:04- Almost all of them.
0:13:05 > 0:13:10- Maybe some were shorter, - if you were timing it yourself.
0:13:11 > 0:13:13- Oh!
0:13:14 > 0:13:16- I'm going to break the waters now.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19- There's nothing to worry about.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21- Can you slide down the bed a bit?
0:13:21 > 0:13:23- GROANS
0:13:23 > 0:13:26- After this pain, there's no hurry.
0:13:32 > 0:13:36- The waters protect - the baby from infections.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- It's like a cushion for the baby.
0:13:39 > 0:13:45- After breaking the waters, the - baby's head is better positioned.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49- There's more pressure on the cervix. - Things move along.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55- Does it feel a bit wet now?
0:13:58 > 0:13:59- OK.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01- It's gone.
0:14:01 > 0:14:02- It's gone.- - Thanks.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05- I'll check the colour.
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- There's a bit of green in it.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15- Maybe the baby opened - his bowels inside you.
0:14:15 > 0:14:20- We'll carry on monitoring - to check that the baby's happy.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23- Maybe that's why - you didn't feel movements.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26- It's better - that we broke the waters.
0:14:27 > 0:14:32- Hopefully, things will move - on quickly now, like last time.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36- GROANS
0:14:36 > 0:14:41- Some babies, unfortunately, - open their bowels inside Mam.
0:14:41 > 0:14:44- Usually, there are no problems.
0:14:44 > 0:14:46- But we get the paediatrician in...
0:14:47 > 0:14:50- ..in case the baby has - swallowed some of the meconium.
0:14:51 > 0:14:56- If there's a problem, the - paediatrician will check the baby.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58- Hello, I'm Manon.
0:14:59 > 0:15:03- I'm the doctor for the baby, - just in case you need me.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09- Come on, Lewis!
0:15:09 > 0:15:10- Lewis is coming.
0:15:19 > 0:15:21- You're tired.
0:15:21 > 0:15:22- I'm knackered.
0:15:22 > 0:15:23- I'm knackered.- - Knackered!
0:15:23 > 0:15:24- Oh!
0:15:25 > 0:15:27- You can sleep later.
0:15:32 > 0:15:33- Can I have a cuppa afterwards?
0:15:33 > 0:15:34- Can I have a cuppa afterwards?- - Eh?
0:15:35 > 0:15:35- Can I have a cuppa?
0:15:35 > 0:15:37- Can I have a cuppa?- - Yes, and toast. Whatever you fancy!
0:15:38 > 0:15:40- LAUGHTER- - I'm sure we can sort that.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42- It's the least we can do.
0:15:43 > 0:15:44- There you are.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46- You're doing great.
0:15:47 > 0:15:48- GROANS
0:15:51 > 0:15:53- A bit of hair is appearing.
0:15:58 > 0:15:59- Want a look?
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- I can see him.
0:16:09 > 0:16:11- Lucky I'm not squeamish.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13- You're not?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Aren't you a farmer?
0:16:15 > 0:16:16- That's it!
0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Are sheep fast too?
0:16:19 > 0:16:22- I'm sure you're faster, Tara.
0:16:23 > 0:16:25- No nonsense with you.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28- GROANS
0:16:31 > 0:16:32- Aah!
0:16:35 > 0:16:38- Lift your leg to make room for him.
0:16:38 > 0:16:39- That's it.
0:16:39 > 0:16:40- Slowly.
0:16:41 > 0:16:42- Slowly!
0:16:42 > 0:16:44- Oh!
0:16:45 > 0:16:46- I said slowly!
0:16:47 > 0:16:48- He's coming out now!
0:16:50 > 0:16:51- Hooray!
0:16:51 > 0:16:52- Hooray!- - Oh!
0:16:55 > 0:16:56- Oh!
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- Congratulations!
0:16:59 > 0:17:00- BABY CRIES
0:17:00 > 0:17:02- Oh, little Lewis!
0:17:05 > 0:17:06- Oh!
0:17:08 > 0:17:09- Hello, little baby!
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- I'll just dry him.
0:17:11 > 0:17:12- BABY CRIES
0:17:13 > 0:17:15- Plenty of noise!
0:17:16 > 0:17:18- Mam's here, little baby.
0:17:22 > 0:17:23- Oh!
0:17:33 > 0:17:34- Useless scissors!
0:17:40 > 0:17:41- Do you have a name?
0:17:41 > 0:17:42- Do you have a name?- - Lewis.
0:17:43 > 0:17:44- Very nice.
0:17:45 > 0:17:46- My little baby.
0:17:48 > 0:17:50- Everything seems fine.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53- You see the yellow stain here?
0:17:55 > 0:17:56- That's meconium.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00- He opened his bowel inside you.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03- Is that dangerous for him?
0:18:03 > 0:18:06- There's a bit more - risk of infection...
0:18:08 > 0:18:10- ..just in the early days.
0:18:11 > 0:18:14- We keep a careful eye - on babies like this.
0:18:14 > 0:18:18- We monitor the heartbeat, - temperature...
0:18:18 > 0:18:21- ..how often they take a breath...
0:18:21 > 0:18:23- ..and the oxygen too.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28- We'll do that every hour, then - every two, then every four hours.
0:18:29 > 0:18:33- Hopefully, - this young man will be fine.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37- Later in the day, - and it's already Wednesday...
0:18:37 > 0:18:39- ..we'll see how things are.
0:18:40 > 0:18:42- So a feed soon and keep him warm.
0:18:43 > 0:18:44- Is that alright?
0:18:45 > 0:18:46- Yes, thanks.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48- Many congratulations to you all.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56- It happened very suddenly, - once the waters broke.
0:18:57 > 0:18:58- He shot out!
0:19:00 > 0:19:02- Tara is tired.
0:19:03 > 0:19:07- But there we are, - it's all over for a bit.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11- I hope she can have a rest now.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24- A toast and cuppa. I did it!
0:19:24 > 0:19:28- It was a lot faster - than the midwife thought.
0:19:28 > 0:19:33- She thought I'd still be - at it for two more hours!
0:19:36 > 0:19:41- The moment my waters were broken, - I felt he had to come out.
0:19:41 > 0:19:43- So push, push, push!
0:19:44 > 0:19:46- The perfect little baby came out.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48- Do you want to go to Mum?
0:19:49 > 0:19:51- He's much smaller than I thought.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54- I thought he'd be over seven pounds.
0:19:54 > 0:19:55- He's six, six.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59- Amazed.
0:19:59 > 0:20:01- I still can't believe I did it.
0:20:02 > 0:20:07- After nine months - of waiting, excitement, planning...
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- ..seeing my belly grow, - I can't believe he's here.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36- I have to wake him once...
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- ..to feed and change him.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42- So far, everything is brilliant.
0:20:42 > 0:20:47- We'll see when he's a bit older - how he sleeps and how I feel.

0:21:04 > 0:21:06- When I saw Lewis...
0:21:06 > 0:21:08- ..I thought...
0:21:09 > 0:21:11- "..Wow, he's so small."
