-I'm Emma.

-I'm Chris.

-We have seven children

-and we're expecting our eighth.

-I'm Osian. I'm twelve.

-Noa is almost one.

-I'm Sion and I'm eleven.

-I'm Georgia. I'm seven.

-I'm Mia and I'm six.

-I'm Cameron and I'm four.

-This is Cian. He's two.

-We hadn't planned such a big family.

-I've got a thing

-about not liking odd numbers.

-That hasn't helped.

-After having Osian and Sion,

-there were two boys.

-I wanted a girl.

-We had a girl,

-but three is an odd number.

-So we had two girls.

-Fine.

-Then we had number five.

-So I had to have an even

-number again, six.

-Then we had a shock with Noa.

-I had decided, no more.

-I'd have to deal

-with the fact he's an odd number.

-But now we have number eight.

-It's definitely the last.

-Shocked.

-Yes! Shocked.

-But happy.

-Go down for a bit.

-They've all gone upstairs.

-OK, give it to Dad.

-I'm Welsh and Chris is English.

-We're a bilingual family.

-I only speak Welsh

-with the children.

-Get dressed, there's a good girl.

-Mia's on the Xbox.

-Mia's on the Xbox.

-

-Not now.

-Not again!

-Good boy.

-There's a military routine

-in the morning.

-Everything must be done on time.

-We get things ready

-the night before.

-If things aren't ready,

-it takes more time.

-Everyone has a job.

-We share out activities.

-Never a dull moment.

-It's not too bad.

-As frustrating as

-any one day can be...

-..one smile, and it's all forgotten.

-We moved to this house

-six months ago.

-We lived in a three bedroom house.

-That was quite challenging!

-It's much better, since moving here.

-One, two.

-Three, four, five.

-Six.

-Seven and Mum.

-We've finally bought a minibus,

-so we can all go out.

-It's like a mission,

-even before leaving the house...

-..to get everyone ready.

-Mia.

-Cian is next.

-We load everyone, one by one.

-That's fun.

-We tend to load them up

-in the order of the seats.

-So fill up the front row,

-and then everybody...

-..subsequently after that.

-It's the fun of the journey.

-We cope fairly well.

-They're generally well-behaved

-when we are out and about somewhere.

-We do get comments,

-but most are positive.

-As far as I know,

-no-one makes negative comments.

-Some people joke that we're crazy.

-But most people say, "Good for you."

-We cope with them all...

-..even though we don't

-have family in Blaenau.

-We do most things ourselves.

-We depend on friends, if we have to.

-I never like asking.

-We bought the Doppler...

-..because I miscarried, at the stage

-before feeling the baby move.

-It's peace of mind...

-..that everything's still alright.

-I've put on a stone in weight.

-I carry the baby low anyway.

-This time, I'm carrying

-more weight round my back.

-With the boys, it looked

-like just a football in front.

-But with the girls,

-I carried a bit more weight.

-The scan was inconclusive.

-But I hope it's a girl.

-It might be a sign that it's a girl.

-How are you? Tired?

-How are you? Tired?

-

-Yes!

-Come in.

-So you've seen the consultant.

-So you've seen the consultant.

-

-Yes.

-What are the plans?

-I'm going to be induced at 38 weeks.

-I'm going to be induced at 38 weeks.

-

-OK.

-I am worried.

-It's a new,

-totally different process for me...

-..although I'm on my eighth child.

-I've never been induced.

-They all came naturally.

-Oh!

-The foot.

-That's what it should be.

-That's what keeps you

-awake at night.

-Bone?

-Bone?

-

-Yes.

-Today's date.

-As you see...

-..at 37 weeks...

-..the measurement is 39.

-The baby measures a little

-more than you'd expect.

-You're used to having larger babies.

-There's no need to worry about that.

-That's one reason why

-they're starting you off earlier.

-Lovely. Nice to see you.

-I'm sure I'll see you

-after the baby is born!

-If I don't see you, good luck.

-If I don't see you, good luck.

-

-Thanks.

-I'm being induced on Wednesday.

-I hope the baby will

-be born on Wednesday.

-All the children have been born

-on different days of the week.

-But we don't have a Wednesday baby.

-We have two Fridays!

-I hope we do, then I'll have

-a baby for every day!

-Hey!

-Excuse me.

-Oi!

-What's happening today?

-Sion and I are going to school.

-Everyone else is staying at home.

-Isn't anything else happening?

-Mam is having a baby!

-We have to take the two girls

-to a friend's house by about 9.30am.

-We have to leave at ten,

-to get to Bangor...

-..by eleven.

-I'm more worried

-about the children than myself!

-See you when I'm back home.

-See you when I'm back home.

-

-OK.

-Enjoy your first day back.

-Good luck.

-You too.

-Ta-ta, Mam.

-Ta-ta, Mam.

-

-Ta-ta.

-Baby clothes.

-We think it's a girl,

-so I put a few pink things.

-I have put white things!

-Mam died when I was three.

-She had cervical cancer.

-She died a fortnight

-after my third birthday.

-I have a vague memory

-of my birthday.

-I remember having a pink T-shirt!

-From what I've heard,

-she wanted a big family.

-Maybe I'm having one

-on her behalf, in a way.

-The kids are anxious

-for the baby to come home.

-But they're not looking forward

-to not having Mum around all day.

-Cardinal sin.

-Where Mum is, they have to be.

-They're not looking

-forward to that bit.

-You be good children for me.

-I'll see you when I've had the baby.

-CHILD CRIES

-Love you.

-You be a good girl too.

-See you when I come home.

-CHILD CRIES

-Oh!

-One more goodbye.

-Yes.

-Right.

-And we're off.

-And we're off.

-

-Yes.

-Hiya. Emma Vaughan Edwards,

-in for an induction.

-OK, come in.

-We're on Llifon.

-I'm being induced today.

-I hope!

-I'm Grace, the midwife.

-I'm with you until quarter to two.

-I'll just check the baby's position.

-It's 38 weeks, and how many days?

-One or two.

-Your other babies

-were quite small...

-..but normal.

-You've had two shoulder dystocia.

-You've had two shoulder dystocia.

-

-Yes.

-And one or two normal births

-after that?

-The last one was shoulder dystocia.

-Six pounds and...

-Six pounds and...

-

-He was eight pounds.

-I missed that somewhere.

-I can feel the head.

-It's come back up.

-It's easier to tell what we feel

-after the examination.

-Are you happy for me

-to do the monitoring?

-Press the button

-when the baby moves.

-When the baby moves,

-the heartbeat increases...

-..just as it would

-if you were running.

-It's a new,

-all singing, all dancing monitor.

-It picks up your pulse.

-It isn't 225, it'll level out.

-That's the baby.

-If there are contractions,

-this can get up to 99.

-It can't hit 100.

-It looks like Snowdonia.

-The baby's heartbeat is 140.

-Anything between 100 and 160

-is normal.

-Press the button

-when the baby moves.

-We'll know why it went up to 160.

-Emma is going to be induced.

-Her previous babies were quite big.

-They got a little stuck coming out.

-The shoulders buckled

-in a place we don't like.

-We've brought her in

-a fortnight early.

-The baby won't grow too big.

-She doesn't have a large frame.

-An eight or nine pound baby

-wouldn't come out easily.

-The baby is very happy in there.

-Are the limbs facing the back?

-I wouldn't say so.

-Perhaps she's sleeping.

-You've had a dozen child movements.

-We've been here...

-..what time was it...

-..for three hours.

-I'm still waiting.

-I've been on the monitor.

-I'm bored!

-Bored.

-This is the bit I hate.

-A lot of waiting around,

-doing nothing...

-..knowing not a lot...

-..where you go from nothing

-to full speed ahead in seconds.

-We encourage the mothers

-to keep active...

-..to walk round the hospital,

-up and down the stairs.

-There's a greater chance

-of going into labour.

-Do you need a hand?

-Do you need a hand?

-

-Yeah.

-I'm worried the baby will pop out

-if I stand up.

-It'll hurt more then.

-INAUDIBLE

-I went down to the shop

-to go and get something to eat.

-I came back up and she was

-just walking out of the toilet.

-Her waters had just gone.

-By the time we got her on her back,

-the head was out.

-It's all been a bit manic ever

-since! It was literally seconds.

-All finished.

-She gave birth on the bed

-where she is now.

-I'm not entirely sure

-what they're up to with Emma.

-The baby is a bit shocked,

-coming out so quick.

-She seems absolutely fine.

-I'll wait and see what happens.

-I'm in shock.

-That was really quick.

-My waters broke

-when I was in the toilet.

-I saw Chris as I was coming out

-and told him to get someone.

-She flew out, basically!

-A bit quick.

-I haven't had the chance to change!

-Dad will be here soon.

-Good morning!

-Oh!

-I couldn't find any hats in Tesco's.

-So I got a little bonnet.

-It's the closest thing to mini size

-I could find.

-This is Enya Gwen.

-She arrived yesterday.

-It's Thursday, so

-I had my baby on Wednesday.

-I'm happy about that.

-I'm glad it's over.

-I want to go home.

-I miss the other children.

-They're looking forward

-to seeing her.

-Hello!

-Welcome home.

-Reality now. I have eight children.

-It's a novelty in hospital.

-All I have to think about

-is the baby.

-But now, everyone will be together.

-Are you OK?

-Are you OK?

-

-Hello, Mam.

-Are you coming to see her?

-Have you had a good day?

-She's tiny.

-She's like a dolly...

-..considering my belly was so big.

-Your belly was massive. She's tiny!

-Ssh!

-Isn't she like a dolly?

-But she isn't a dolly, is she?

-Hello.

-There won't be any more.

-My body couldn't cope

-with carrying another one.

-Eight full term pregnancies,

-and five or six miscarriages...

-..is a lot for anybody

-to take in twelve years.

-I think we'll do everything

-we possibly can...

-..to ensure there is no more.

-..to ensure there is no more.

-

-Yeah.

-BABY CRIES

-She's happy.

-Come here.

-She's cute.

-Do you think she's cute?

-She's mega cute.

-We haven't seen you for two nights.

-Since yesterday.
