0:00:55 > 0:00:58- He said, "No! - We'll do another test."
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- So we did another one - and it was positive too.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09- This is where she will sleep.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13- This is the cot bed. - We won't put her here straightaway.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16- We'll put her - in the Moses basket first.
0:01:17 > 0:01:19- Then she'll come here.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26- We've always wanted - to be young parents.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32- We want children - when we're in our twenties.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36- You can do more with them...

0:01:41 > 0:01:43- I think she'll be quite girly.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- I've bought pink things.
0:01:47 > 0:01:49- I've had these too.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52- They're from a friend. So cute!

0:02:01 > 0:02:02- Little Ugg boots!
0:02:04 > 0:02:06- She'll be born in winter.
0:02:07 > 0:02:09- My brother is naughty.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13- He likes to buy designer labels. - I think she'll get a lot.
0:02:14 > 0:02:16- I like Ted Baker.
0:02:17 > 0:02:18- It's a small jacket.
0:02:19 > 0:02:20- It's nice!
0:02:22 > 0:02:23- I try to be modern.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29- I use my phone. I have applications - and a book on the phone.
0:02:30 > 0:02:33- The app I use most - is What To Expect.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37- You can see what size the baby is.
0:02:38 > 0:02:40- It has a countdown on it.
0:02:41 > 0:02:43- We have four weeks to go.
0:02:44 > 0:02:46- This is about this week.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50- We're Week 35 now.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54- They describe things like...
0:02:55 > 0:02:58- ..what the baby is doing now - in Becca's tummy.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02- I also have a book on the phone...
0:03:03 > 0:03:05- ..Dad's Guide To Newborns.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10- It explains how to do the bottles...
0:03:13 > 0:03:16- ..and things like changing the baby.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19- It's quite good.
0:03:22 > 0:03:24- This is the baby monitor.
0:03:25 > 0:03:27- Nain and Taid gave it to me.
0:03:28 > 0:03:30- It does everything!
0:03:31 > 0:03:35- There's a camera, so it records - the baby when she's sleeping.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39- You can see her on the screen - in our bedroom.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44- You can look there - and know what she's doing.
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- You can hear her. - There's night vision too.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- You can still see her - when the light is off.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55- I can put songs on this.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00- It plays through the camera.
0:04:01 > 0:04:02- She will hear them.
0:04:04 > 0:04:08- So it plays songs - through the monitor.
0:04:12 > 0:04:14- It will relax her when I'm in bed.
0:04:15 > 0:04:17- So it's easy for me too.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- I can put a kind of projector on.
0:04:24 > 0:04:29- It shows stars, clouds and moons - on the ceiling, and it turns.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34- So you don't need - something to go over the cot.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36- She can see it on the ceiling.
0:04:37 > 0:04:41- That's the only high-tech - thing I've bought so far.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47- I'll probably buy more!
0:04:55 > 0:04:58- How did you tell Mam - you were pregnant?
0:04:58 > 0:05:01- I phoned Mam to tell her.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05- She was shocked but happy!
0:05:06 > 0:05:08- You were happy, when you found out.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11- She phoned Mam, but not me!
0:05:14 > 0:05:16- She came here that night.
0:05:18 > 0:05:20- It was quite a shock.
0:05:21 > 0:05:23- I think I was quiet for a bit.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28- After thinking about it, - I was happy for her and Glyn.
0:05:28 > 0:05:30- They've been together long enough.
0:05:31 > 0:05:35- We're looking forward - to the little one arriving.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38- We came here to tell everyone.
0:05:40 > 0:05:44- Rowena had guessed - that Becca was pregnant.
0:05:45 > 0:05:46- How did you guess?
0:05:47 > 0:05:49- Rebecca was a bit giggly.
0:05:50 > 0:05:54- I said, "You're acting like - you've had a baby or something!"
0:05:54 > 0:05:56- She said, "You're correct!"
0:05:57 > 0:05:58- LAUGHTER
0:05:58 > 0:06:00- When Becca is nervous...
0:06:01 > 0:06:03- ..she always has the giggles.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07- I wanted my first child - when I was 23 anyway.
0:06:07 > 0:06:10- I didn't want to be really old, - having a child.
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- I didn't want it as early as 21!
0:06:16 > 0:06:19- We've been together for four years.
0:06:19 > 0:06:21- More than that.
0:06:21 > 0:06:22- Yes.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25- We moved in together...
0:06:27 > 0:06:28- ..two years ago.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32- So it's a natural progression.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37- We're happy now. - It was a shock at first.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38- We're happy now.
0:06:39 > 0:06:40- Yes!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43- She's quite young.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46- Obviously, as parents...
0:06:46 > 0:06:48- ..we hope all goes well.
0:06:48 > 0:06:53- That's the main thing, that - the baby is fine, and she's fine.
0:06:54 > 0:06:56- Then the hard work starts!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00- They'll have to try - to get plenty of sleep now.
0:07:01 > 0:07:02- I'm tired now!
0:07:02 > 0:07:04- And nothing has arrived yet!
0:07:04 > 0:07:05- And nothing has arrived yet!- - I know!
0:07:06 > 0:07:11- We're looking forward - to our first Christmas with a baby.
0:07:11 > 0:07:15- I think Becca wants - to buy a costume...
0:07:16 > 0:07:18- ..like a Christmas pudding.
0:07:20 > 0:07:22- Yes, we're looking forward.
0:07:23 > 0:07:25- Christmas Day has been arranged.
0:07:25 > 0:07:27- Mam has the biggest house.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- So we all go down to Mam and Dad's.
0:07:31 > 0:07:32- Our family goes.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38- My brother and his family are coming - too, so everyone will be together.
0:07:38 > 0:07:42- We'll have one more this time, - which will be rather nice.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54- Hello! We've come - to see the midwife.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56- At Cadwgan Surgery.
0:07:57 > 0:08:02- They check things - like the baby's heartbeat.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04- And how everything is going.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07- OK, I'll just look at this.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- Have you been well - since I last saw you?
0:08:12 > 0:08:13- Yes, thanks.
0:08:14 > 0:08:15- Great.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18- You had a blood test last time.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20- The result is here.
0:08:22 > 0:08:25- The blood group is the same, - no change here.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27- No antibodies, nothing.
0:08:28 > 0:08:32- Your iron is fantastic, 137, - which is excellent.
0:08:33 > 0:08:35- So you're not anaemic.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40- When the baby grows, - it can take iron from you.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43- But that's excellent.
0:08:43 > 0:08:48- So whatever you're doing, - carry on doing it. It's perfect.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52- I want to go to hospital - to have her.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- I don't think a home birth - is practical for us.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58- I hope it's not at home!
0:08:58 > 0:08:59- No!
0:09:00 > 0:09:02- I think it's too messy.
0:09:03 > 0:09:04- BABY'S HEARTBEAT
0:09:06 > 0:09:09- The heartbeat is - between 120 and 160...
0:09:11 > 0:09:12- ..per minute.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18- She's pushing this off! - She's getting stronger.
0:09:20 > 0:09:26- My midwife helped at my birth, - and with my brother and sister.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31- It would have been nice - if she could be there...
0:09:31 > 0:09:34- ..to help deliver my baby.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39- But they don't work - like that any more.
0:09:39 > 0:09:44- I'll have to take whoever is there - on the day to help me out.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46- You're doing OK.
0:09:47 > 0:09:51- You'll get more tired now, - as the baby grows.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54- Right.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59- You might feel more - tired after work.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02- Put your feet up when you get home.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09- I'm a bit worried about the pain. - I won't say I'm not. I am.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10- I'm not!
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- No, you don't have - to worry about anything!
0:10:15 > 0:10:17- I am a little worried.
0:10:18 > 0:10:22- But as everyone says, - when you're in the moment...
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- ..everything goes, - and you'll be alright.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- Hopefully!
0:10:38 > 0:10:39- How do you feel?
0:10:41 > 0:10:45- She's started labour. - She's nine centimetres dilated.
0:10:46 > 0:10:48- She's doing well, very well.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53- She's had gas and air, - but nothing else yet.
0:10:55 > 0:10:57- I hope it all goes well now.
0:10:58 > 0:11:01- Can I have a medium Big Mac, please?
0:11:01 > 0:11:02- ON PHONE
0:11:02 > 0:11:04- Medium Big Mac?
0:11:04 > 0:11:06- Yes, with Fanta.
0:11:07 > 0:11:08- No ice.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09- No ice.- - OK.
0:11:09 > 0:11:13- Don't forget tomato sauce - and sweet curry.
0:11:13 > 0:11:18- And if you like, some barbecue, - for the old girl.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20- OK.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22- OK.- - Hurry up!
0:11:23 > 0:11:26- They wanted to go - to Ysbyty Gwynedd.
0:11:26 > 0:11:31- The ambulance said there wasn't time - because of roadworks on the A55...
0:11:31 > 0:11:34- ..and we'd have to go to St Asaph.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37- That's where we ended up going...
0:11:38 > 0:11:40- ..at about ninety miles an hour!
0:11:43 > 0:11:46- We're in Glan Clwyd's - High Risk Unit.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50- That's where the paramedics - brought me.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52- I didn't need to go to there.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- Everything went well - through the pregnancy.
0:11:56 > 0:11:59- There was no need - for me to go there.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04- They handed me the gas mask.
0:12:04 > 0:12:07- They asked if I wanted to move...
0:12:07 > 0:12:12- ..because originally - I wanted a water birth.
0:12:12 > 0:12:17- That didn't happen - because I didn't want to move!
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- I liked the gas and air - too much to move.
0:12:28 > 0:12:28- .

0:12:59 > 0:13:02- I wasn't expecting much to happen.
0:13:02 > 0:13:06- I was watching the rugby. - I went out to eat.
0:13:08 > 0:13:12- Deb set out for Bangor with Rebecca.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17- The traffic has been terrible - because the Conwy Feast is on.
0:13:19 > 0:13:23- I was delayed leaving - work in Conwy yesterday.
0:13:23 > 0:13:27- The ambulance brought her - to Glan Clwyd.
0:13:28 > 0:13:33- We're reinforcements, because she's - hungry. We called in McDonald.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37- Ryan, her brother, is here.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39- I wasn't expecting to be here!
0:13:40 > 0:13:44- I thought we'd be here - after the baby was born.
0:13:44 > 0:13:47- We won't stay too long.

0:13:51 > 0:13:55- He planned to come home - after the birth.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57- He wasn't feeling well...

0:14:13 > 0:14:15- It's been like that all day.
0:14:18 > 0:14:19- It's come as a surprise.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22- It's come as a surprise.- - Yes. I'm glad I'm home.
0:14:22 > 0:14:26- I wouldn't want to pay to come back!
0:14:27 > 0:14:29- It's worked out OK for everyone.
0:14:29 > 0:14:32- And Dad took him out for his tea.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35- Works both ways.
0:14:40 > 0:14:44- We won't stay for long.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47- I'm not very comfortable here.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10- Well done. - You're nine centimetres dilated.
0:15:12 > 0:15:13- Yeah!
0:15:14 > 0:15:16- I want you to sleep with me.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20- Excuse me? Not yet. - You haven't had the baby yet.
0:15:20 > 0:15:22- The midwives were really good.
0:15:23 > 0:15:27- They helped me get through it.
0:15:27 > 0:15:31- I don't remember much.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34- I only remember snippets of it.
0:15:35 > 0:15:39- I can remember - they really helped me...
0:15:40 > 0:15:43- ..through the contractions.
0:15:44 > 0:15:47- I was happy with the help I had.
0:15:48 > 0:15:49- SCREAMS
0:15:49 > 0:15:54- You should know how much pain she's - going through. You're doing great.
0:15:54 > 0:15:59- No idea. When I broke my wrist, - I thought that was unbearable.
0:16:00 > 0:16:01- Good girl.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04- I should have manned up a bit.
0:16:04 > 0:16:05- Yes, man up!
0:16:08 > 0:16:09- Good girl.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14- REBECCA GROANS
0:16:15 > 0:16:20- Do what your body tells you to do.
0:16:20 > 0:16:22- You need to push.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26- You're doing so well.
0:16:26 > 0:16:29- The midwife switched off - the light...
0:16:29 > 0:16:35- ..because it's dark inside my belly.
0:16:35 > 0:16:39- They don't want the baby - to have a shock.
0:16:39 > 0:16:42- They switched the light off...
0:16:42 > 0:16:45- ..so it's not too much for the baby.
0:16:45 > 0:16:50- She can cope better than - if it was really bright.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- REBECCA GROANS
0:16:55 > 0:16:58- Keep going. - You're doing it perfectly.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05- How far to go?
0:17:05 > 0:17:10- A little while yet. - It's absolutely normal.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- I just want her to be out of pain.
0:17:14 > 0:17:15- Can you have a drink now?
0:17:15 > 0:17:17- Can you have a drink now?- - No!
0:17:21 > 0:17:25- It would be better to have - the chair more upright.
0:17:25 > 0:17:28- Can you put this upright?
0:17:30 > 0:17:32- I moved positions a lot.
0:17:33 > 0:17:37- I didn't like lying on my back. - They tried to put me on my back.
0:17:37 > 0:17:42- I didn't like it. - I kept going back on my front.
0:17:42 > 0:17:48- But the baby couldn't move down.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54- They told me to stand.
0:17:55 > 0:18:00- I held onto Glyn, - to try to get the baby to move down.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02- He said it hurt...
0:18:03 > 0:18:05- ..because I was tugging his neck.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- It wasn't nice for him!
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- After that, - they sat me on a birthing stool.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16- You can do it. Keep going.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19- Keep going.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28- That's where I want you to push, - in that area. Good girl!
0:18:28 > 0:18:29- Fantastic.
0:18:30 > 0:18:31- Keep it going.
