-I'm Rebecca Davies and this is Glyn.

-We live in Old Colwyn. I'm 21.

-I'm 22.

-I'm expecting my first baby, a girl.

-Shock!

-Shock!

-

-Yes!

-I did the test

-and told him I was pregnant.

-He said, "No!

-We'll do another test."

-So we did another one

-and it was positive too.

-So, yes!

-This is where she will sleep.

-This is the cot bed.

-We won't put her here straightaway.

-We'll put her

-in the Moses basket first.

-Then she'll come here.

-We've always wanted

-to be young parents.

-We want children

-when we're in our twenties.

-You can do more with them...

-..and run after them,

-that type of thing.

-I think she'll be quite girly.

-I've bought pink things.

-I've had these too.

-They're from a friend. So cute!

-Let's see if I can open them.

-Little Ugg boots!

-She'll be born in winter.

-My brother is naughty.

-He likes to buy designer labels.

-I think she'll get a lot.

-I like Ted Baker.

-It's a small jacket.

-It's nice!

-I try to be modern.

-I use my phone. I have applications

-and a book on the phone.

-The app I use most

-is What To Expect.

-You can see what size the baby is.

-It has a countdown on it.

-We have four weeks to go.

-This is about this week.

-We're Week 35 now.

-They describe things like...

-..what the baby is doing now

-in Becca's tummy.

-I also have a book on the phone...

-..Dad's Guide To Newborns.

-It explains how to do the bottles...

-..and things like changing the baby.

-It's quite good.

-This is the baby monitor.

-Nain and Taid gave it to me.

-It does everything!

-There's a camera, so it records

-the baby when she's sleeping.

-You can see her on the screen

-in our bedroom.

-You can look there

-and know what she's doing.

-You can hear her.

-There's night vision too.

-You can still see her

-when the light is off.

-I can put songs on this.

-It plays through the camera.

-She will hear them.

-So it plays songs

-through the monitor.

-It will relax her when I'm in bed.

-So it's easy for me too.

-I can put a kind of projector on.

-It shows stars, clouds and moons

-on the ceiling, and it turns.

-So you don't need

-something to go over the cot.

-She can see it on the ceiling.

-That's the only high-tech

-thing I've bought so far.

-I'll probably buy more!

-How did you tell Mam

-you were pregnant?

-I phoned Mam to tell her.

-She was shocked but happy!

-You were happy, when you found out.

-She phoned Mam, but not me!

-She came here that night.

-It was quite a shock.

-I think I was quiet for a bit.

-After thinking about it,

-I was happy for her and Glyn.

-They've been together long enough.

-We're looking forward

-to the little one arriving.

-We came here to tell everyone.

-Rowena had guessed

-that Becca was pregnant.

-How did you guess?

-Rebecca was a bit giggly.

-I said, "You're acting like

-you've had a baby or something!"

-She said, "You're correct!"

-LAUGHTER

-When Becca is nervous...

-..she always has the giggles.

-I wanted my first child

-when I was 23 anyway.

-I didn't want to be really old,

-having a child.

-I didn't want it as early as 21!

-We've been together for four years.

-More than that.

-Yes.

-We moved in together...

-..two years ago.

-So it's a natural progression.

-We're happy now.

-It was a shock at first.

-We're happy now.

-Yes!

-She's quite young.

-Obviously, as parents...

-..we hope all goes well.

-That's the main thing, that

-the baby is fine, and she's fine.

-Then the hard work starts!

-They'll have to try

-to get plenty of sleep now.

-I'm tired now!

-And nothing has arrived yet!

-And nothing has arrived yet!

-

-I know!

-We're looking forward

-to our first Christmas with a baby.

-I think Becca wants

-to buy a costume...

-..like a Christmas pudding.

-Yes, we're looking forward.

-Christmas Day has been arranged.

-Mam has the biggest house.

-So we all go down to Mam and Dad's.

-Our family goes.

-My brother and his family are coming

-too, so everyone will be together.

-We'll have one more this time,

-which will be rather nice.

-Hello! We've come

-to see the midwife.

-At Cadwgan Surgery.

-They check things

-like the baby's heartbeat.

-And how everything is going.

-OK, I'll just look at this.

-Have you been well

-since I last saw you?

-Yes, thanks.

-Great.

-You had a blood test last time.

-The result is here.

-The blood group is the same,

-no change here.

-No antibodies, nothing.

-Your iron is fantastic, 137,

-which is excellent.

-So you're not anaemic.

-When the baby grows,

-it can take iron from you.

-But that's excellent.

-So whatever you're doing,

-carry on doing it. It's perfect.

-I want to go to hospital

-to have her.

-I don't think a home birth

-is practical for us.

-I hope it's not at home!

-No!

-I think it's too messy.

-BABY'S HEARTBEAT

-The heartbeat is

-between 120 and 160...

-..per minute.

-She's pushing this off!

-She's getting stronger.

-My midwife helped at my birth,

-and with my brother and sister.

-It would have been nice

-if she could be there...

-..to help deliver my baby.

-But they don't work

-like that any more.

-I'll have to take whoever is there

-on the day to help me out.

-You're doing OK.

-You'll get more tired now,

-as the baby grows.

-Right.

-You might feel more

-tired after work.

-Put your feet up when you get home.

-I'm a bit worried about the pain.

-I won't say I'm not. I am.

-I'm not!

-No, you don't have

-to worry about anything!

-I am a little worried.

-But as everyone says,

-when you're in the moment...

-..everything goes,

-and you'll be alright.

-Hopefully!

-How do you feel?

-She's started labour.

-She's nine centimetres dilated.

-She's doing well, very well.

-She's had gas and air,

-but nothing else yet.

-I hope it all goes well now.

-Can I have a medium Big Mac, please?

-ON PHONE

-Medium Big Mac?

-Yes, with Fanta.

-No ice.

-No ice.

-

-OK.

-Don't forget tomato sauce

-and sweet curry.

-And if you like, some barbecue,

-for the old girl.

-OK.

-OK.

-

-Hurry up!

-They wanted to go

-to Ysbyty Gwynedd.

-The ambulance said there wasn't time

-because of roadworks on the A55...

-..and we'd have to go to St Asaph.

-That's where we ended up going...

-..at about ninety miles an hour!

-We're in Glan Clwyd's

-High Risk Unit.

-That's where the paramedics

-brought me.

-I didn't need to go to there.

-Everything went well

-through the pregnancy.

-There was no need

-for me to go there.

-They handed me the gas mask.

-They asked if I wanted to move...

-..because originally

-I wanted a water birth.

-That didn't happen

-because I didn't want to move!

-I liked the gas and air

-too much to move.

-Here she is.

-Special delivery

-from Ronald McDonald.

-Rebecca phoned her mother this

-morning to tell her about the pains.

-I wasn't expecting much to happen.

-I was watching the rugby.

-I went out to eat.

-Deb set out for Bangor with Rebecca.

-The traffic has been terrible

-because the Conwy Feast is on.

-I was delayed leaving

-work in Conwy yesterday.

-The ambulance brought her

-to Glan Clwyd.

-We're reinforcements, because she's

-hungry. We called in McDonald.

-Ryan, her brother, is here.

-I wasn't expecting to be here!

-I thought we'd be here

-after the baby was born.

-We won't stay too long.

-Ryan has come home from Manchester.

-He planned to come home

-after the birth.

-He wasn't feeling well...

-..so he came home

-so Mam and Dad can spoil him!

-We had a call to say Rebecca's

-labour had started.

-Around two o'clock...

-..Mam and I came to be with Rebecca.

-It's been like that all day.

-It's come as a surprise.

-It's come as a surprise.

-

-Yes. I'm glad I'm home.

-I wouldn't want to pay to come back!

-It's worked out OK for everyone.

-And Dad took him out for his tea.

-Works both ways.

-We won't stay for long.

-I'm not very comfortable here.

-Rebecca doesn't want

-Dad hanging round.

-Let's go for a coffee.

-Let's go for a coffee.

-

-Yes.

-Well done.

-You're nine centimetres dilated.

-Yeah!

-I want you to sleep with me.

-Excuse me? Not yet.

-You haven't had the baby yet.

-The midwives were really good.

-They helped me get through it.

-I don't remember much.

-I only remember snippets of it.

-I can remember

-they really helped me...

-..through the contractions.

-I was happy with the help I had.

-SCREAMS

-You should know how much pain she's

-going through. You're doing great.

-No idea. When I broke my wrist,

-I thought that was unbearable.

-Good girl.

-I should have manned up a bit.

-Yes, man up!

-Good girl.

-REBECCA GROANS

-Do what your body tells you to do.

-You need to push.

-You're doing so well.

-The midwife switched off

-the light...

-..because it's dark inside my belly.

-They don't want the baby

-to have a shock.

-They switched the light off...

-..so it's not too much for the baby.

-She can cope better than

-if it was really bright.

-REBECCA GROANS

-Keep going.

-You're doing it perfectly.

-How far to go?

-A little while yet.

-It's absolutely normal.

-I just want her to be out of pain.

-Can you have a drink now?

-Can you have a drink now?

-

-No!

-It would be better to have

-the chair more upright.

-Can you put this upright?

-I moved positions a lot.

-I didn't like lying on my back.

-They tried to put me on my back.

-I didn't like it.

-I kept going back on my front.

-But the baby couldn't move down.

-They told me to stand.

-I held onto Glyn,

-to try to get the baby to move down.

-He said it hurt...

-..because I was tugging his neck.

-It wasn't nice for him!

-After that,

-they sat me on a birthing stool.

-You can do it. Keep going.

-Keep going.

-That's where I want you to push,

-in that area. Good girl!

-Fantastic.

-Keep it going.

-Well done.

-Give us a push.

-Come on, Becca. Hard as you can.

-Right down into your bottom.

-The baby's coming.

-Well done.

-Where is it?

-Where is it?

-

-It's on the shelf.

-There was a bit of panic in the end.

-We didn't think she was breathing.

-I didn't know what was going on.

-Hello!

-She's having a wriggle.

-Can you see her?

-There was meconium in the amniotic

-fluid, after she arrived.

-I was kept in hospital

-for two nights...

-..to check everything was alright.

-Just giving her a little oxygen.

-Look.

-Right. Let's get Mum

-in a comfortable position.

-It's important to have

-skin-to-skin...

-..to help regulate

-the baby's heartbeat.

-It comforts the baby too.

-I can't describe how it felt...

-..to have our baby on my chest.

-It's indescribable.

-We'll bring mum close by.

-She kicked me!

-Hello, beautiful.

-Her name is Aria Ella Jessett Tapp.

-She weighed seven pounds,

-five ounces.

-I thought

-she was going to be heavier.

-People thought Becca's bump

-was neat.

-She was small compared

-to what I thought she'd be.

-I'm pleased. I don't think

-Becca would have coped!

-Not if she was any bigger!

-Seven pounds five ounces

-is a nice size.

-I'm grateful she was that size.

-You're going to bed, OK?

-There you are.
