0:00:00 > 0:00:03Pain.
0:00:03 > 0:00:05SHE SCREAMS
0:00:05 > 0:00:06Labour.
0:00:06 > 0:00:07Good girl.
0:00:07 > 0:00:09A new-born baby.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11BABY CRIES
0:00:11 > 0:00:14The biggest day for any new mum.
0:00:14 > 0:00:17But do the dads get a look-in?
0:00:17 > 0:00:21One in three young men in the UK feel left out of the pregnancy
0:00:21 > 0:00:23and sidelined at the birth.
0:00:23 > 0:00:26The main part I've taken in this pregnancy is getting her pregnant
0:00:26 > 0:00:29and that's about as far as it's gone so far.
0:00:29 > 0:00:31But all that is about to change.
0:00:31 > 0:00:34This whole pregnancy is happening to me as well, I'm not pregnant
0:00:34 > 0:00:37but I'm in a sense going through it.
0:00:38 > 0:00:43In this brand new series, first-time dads-to-be will get a crash course
0:00:43 > 0:00:46to hopefully become the perfect birthing partners.
0:00:47 > 0:00:49I haven't got a clue at the minute.
0:00:49 > 0:00:51I don't think I'm prepared at all.
0:00:51 > 0:00:54It's such an unknown to me. And that really scares me.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58Taking on this unique challenge are midwives with years of experience.
0:00:58 > 0:00:59So you tell me what you can feel.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03We've not done anything like this before, working with the father.
0:01:03 > 0:01:05It's going to be really different for us.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07And with each other for moral support...
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Thank God you're here.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12..these men will get closer to the delivery action then
0:01:12 > 0:01:14they could have ever imagined.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Mum, didn't I tell you not to be in here?
0:01:16 > 0:01:17Did I say come in here?
0:01:17 > 0:01:19I think it's time to see baby now.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22But when push comes to shove...
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Push, come on.
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Keep going.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28..will these dads deliver?
0:01:28 > 0:01:31It's the hardest thing I've ever done, this.
0:01:31 > 0:01:38This programme contains some strong language.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42Tonight, two first-time dads need all the help they can get.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47Childhood sweethearts 26-year-old Adam
0:01:47 > 0:01:51and his wife, 25-year-old Lucy, are expecting their first child.
0:01:51 > 0:01:54- We can't wait to be parents. - Yeah, we can't wait.
0:01:54 > 0:01:56We can't wait.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59But there's a problem - gas engineer Adam doesn't have a clue
0:01:59 > 0:02:02when it comes to babies and the birth.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04HE LAUGHS
0:02:04 > 0:02:07I don't know what to expect at all. What's this do?
0:02:07 > 0:02:09Being in the delivery room, wouldn't have a clue.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12All I know is that we're going to have a baby at the end of it.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15And there's a real chance Adam could lose it
0:02:15 > 0:02:17on the biggest day of their lives.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20- What is going on here?! - Don't break it.
0:02:20 > 0:02:23What is it with these prams? Supposed to be easy, aren't they?
0:02:23 > 0:02:26Adam can kind of be a bit of a flapper and...
0:02:26 > 0:02:29- Stress-head.- And stress-head. Yeah, a big stress-head.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31I can't get this bar off.
0:02:31 > 0:02:33I need to deal with it a lot better, I know.
0:02:35 > 0:02:39Even Adam's family are desperately worried about how he'll cope
0:02:39 > 0:02:40with the delivery.
0:02:40 > 0:02:43It's going to absolutely traumatise him.
0:02:43 > 0:02:44He's going to be like, on edge.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45He'll be scared. I know.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48He's an old hen, he is definitely going to flap.
0:02:48 > 0:02:53With just five weeks till the birth, can this stressed out dad-to-be
0:02:53 > 0:02:57learn enough from the midwives to keep his cool in the delivery room?
0:02:57 > 0:02:59Come on!
0:02:59 > 0:03:03I would say I'd like Adam to learn more so about the labour, really.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06I think if he is learning about that then I think he'll be
0:03:06 > 0:03:08so much more confident to be there
0:03:08 > 0:03:11and to be that birthing partner that I think he really wants to be.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14If it didn't work out, main of all, I'd be letting myself down,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17it'll be, it'll be heart-breaking really.
0:03:19 > 0:03:21120 miles away in Portsmouth,
0:03:21 > 0:03:25another dad-to-be in desperate need of the midwives' attention.
0:03:25 > 0:03:28I think the main part I've played in this pregnancy was getting
0:03:28 > 0:03:31her pregnant, that's about as far as it's gone so far.
0:03:31 > 0:03:36Just one week after moving in together, 19-year-olds Callum
0:03:36 > 0:03:40and Laura found out they were expecting their first child.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42We weren't trying for a baby at all.
0:03:42 > 0:03:44- Just one of those, just happens. - It was an accident.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47But amateur footballer Callum is shooting blanks
0:03:47 > 0:03:49when it comes to support.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52We've done an antenatal class and all the other dads were proper like
0:03:52 > 0:03:55ohh, let's do this, I'm involved and I was sat there just like...
0:03:55 > 0:03:57HE SNORES
0:03:57 > 0:03:58Yeah, like falling asleep.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02You know, I would like a bit more support there, really.
0:04:02 > 0:04:06And with just over a month till the birth, even Callum's dad is worried.
0:04:06 > 0:04:07Oh man, that is...
0:04:07 > 0:04:11He's got to grow up, and he's got to grow up overnight and
0:04:11 > 0:04:14take his responsibilities on the chin like a man.
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And to make matters worse, Callum can't stand the sight of blood.
0:04:18 > 0:04:20Would you watch your girlfriend give birth?
0:04:20 > 0:04:24- I'd probably pass out.- Would you? - Yeah, I don't do well with blood.
0:04:24 > 0:04:25I actually thought it was just me.
0:04:25 > 0:04:27I'm just worried that the labour will be quite
0:04:27 > 0:04:29mucky down the business end.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- No, it's upside down, Cal.- Oh.
0:04:32 > 0:04:34But Callum desperately wants to be at the birth,
0:04:34 > 0:04:37though if he doesn't overcome his fears in time,
0:04:37 > 0:04:40he might not even make it into the delivery room.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43The reason I want to do the midwife sessions is to get over
0:04:43 > 0:04:45the issue of being a bit squeamish with the blood.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49I honestly think Laura thinks that I'm going to wimp out
0:04:49 > 0:04:53and probably faint on the floor but on the day I'll prove her wrong.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59So one squeamish dad...
0:04:59 > 0:05:01They're stuck together.
0:05:01 > 0:05:03.and one clueless and stressed out...
0:05:03 > 0:05:08- You can do it, oh there you go. - Moved then, didn't she?- Yeah.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10..have signed up to the biggest challenge of their lives.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12See you later.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15In just five weeks, experienced midwifes will attempt to
0:05:15 > 0:05:17transform these fathers-to-be
0:05:17 > 0:05:22from boys into super-dads in the delivery room.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24The clock is already ticking.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26- It says here...- Yeah.
0:05:26 > 0:05:31"The delivery of our new daughter was miraculous to watch but seeing
0:05:31 > 0:05:34"her emerge from my wife's vagina seems to have turned me off sex."
0:05:34 > 0:05:37Yeah, exactly, that's what I'm worried about.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39- I think that's well out of order. - I can't help it.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43Taking on this huge challenge are experienced midwives with
0:05:43 > 0:05:47three years of training behind each of them and over 30 years
0:05:47 > 0:05:49of experience between them all.
0:05:49 > 0:05:53At Portsmouth hospital, Callum's team is led by Kate Finch,
0:05:53 > 0:05:56who knows exactly how to fix dads in need.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Knowledge is power and the more knowledge they have, the more
0:05:59 > 0:06:04skills they will have to become an integral part of the birth process.
0:06:04 > 0:06:07Adam's team work at the North Middlesex Hospital
0:06:07 > 0:06:11and are led by award-winning midwife Fiona Laird.
0:06:11 > 0:06:12You're doing great.
0:06:12 > 0:06:13I think the dads,
0:06:13 > 0:06:17when they come into hospital with their wives in labour,
0:06:17 > 0:06:20it can be a really scary place because they're not in control.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24We're trying to arm them with knowledge to help them have a
0:06:24 > 0:06:25good transition into fatherhood.
0:06:27 > 0:06:33In Portsmouth, it's lesson one for Callum. Today is all about labour.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Callum's fear of blood makes failing to turn up
0:06:36 > 0:06:39to his baby's birth a real possibility.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42My issue with the birthing pool is I'm worried about seeing
0:06:42 > 0:06:44blood and guts floating around in the pool.
0:06:44 > 0:06:46OK, you don't tend to see guts, I'm glad to say.
0:06:46 > 0:06:48I think maybe that's my fear really,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50is actually seeing the baby like coming out.
0:06:50 > 0:06:55I know it's natural but I dunno, I just don't really want to see it.
0:06:55 > 0:06:57OK, Callum, if you want to come sit down
0:06:57 > 0:06:59and then lie down on the bed then, please.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03To help Callum overcome his fears, midwife Hayley has come up
0:07:03 > 0:07:06with an urgent plan to help him confront them, head on.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09How would you feel about if I showed you some photos,
0:07:09 > 0:07:10different stages of the labour?
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Possibly, I'll have a go. See how I get on. OK.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Some deliveries can be quite messy
0:07:15 > 0:07:18and for someone that's not seen it before
0:07:18 > 0:07:21then it can be quite scary for them.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24So I'm hoping that by showing the photos today it might relieve
0:07:24 > 0:07:28some of his anxieties regarding what he may see at the delivery.
0:07:28 > 0:07:31OK.
0:07:31 > 0:07:33Oh, fucking hell! I didn't want to see that, sorry.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37- This is just the head coming out. - Oh, that's horrid!
0:07:37 > 0:07:40- Can you see, this is a baby. - Oh yeah.
0:07:40 > 0:07:41OK, but that is just a baby's head.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44It's a head sticking out someone's arse! That's what it looks like.
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- It's not because her bottom's up here.- I know but...
0:07:47 > 0:07:50- Shall we try another one? - Er...do we have to?
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Oh, go on...what, go on then.
0:07:52 > 0:07:56Oh, my God! No, no, that's disgusting.
0:07:56 > 0:07:58What is that? Eurgh!
0:07:58 > 0:07:59It's natural.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01I know it's natural but it's horrible.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03How do you feel about those photos?
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Oh, it's disturbed me now. I can't look at a woman properly.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09We're going to have to work with this, aren't we?
0:08:09 > 0:08:11Just give me and injection or something, I'll be fine.
0:08:11 > 0:08:14I can totally understand how some of this really scares
0:08:14 > 0:08:16and freaks you out, but the more positive you are,
0:08:16 > 0:08:19it's going to be more beneficial to Laura.
0:08:19 > 0:08:21We've got a lot of work to do to try and get
0:08:21 > 0:08:24Callum more relaxed about the delivery itself.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28It could be any time she goes into labour, and you know,
0:08:28 > 0:08:31I think that time, it is up against us at the moment, to be honest.
0:08:31 > 0:08:36Up to 14% of men aren't able to attend the birth of their child.
0:08:36 > 0:08:40After today, the midwives are no more confident about Callum's chances,
0:08:40 > 0:08:43and sadly, neither is he.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I saw the head coming out, the midwife showed me the pictures.
0:08:46 > 0:08:48How did you feel?
0:08:48 > 0:08:50Erm...it put me off a bit, to be honest.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54It's a bit like, weird, I may have to leave the room.
0:08:54 > 0:08:56- You might have to leave the room? - Yeah.
0:08:56 > 0:09:00Don't, don't...that's not funny, I don't want...I need you to be there.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02Take it seriously.
0:09:02 > 0:09:04But if I see a head coming out your arse, I might be a bit...
0:09:04 > 0:09:06It's not going to come out my arse! It'll be fine.
0:09:06 > 0:09:09But if I see a head coming out of that region.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11It's not very nice for you to say, "I'll just leave the room,"
0:09:11 > 0:09:13because you can't cope with it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15I'm the one that's going to be the most uncomfortable.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17I don't like the blood and the muckiness.
0:09:17 > 0:09:20Well, it's not going to come out all erm, spring chicken, is it?
0:09:20 > 0:09:23No, exactly. See, I don't mind helping you,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I just would rather not see it, do you know what I mean?
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- You're being a complete arsehole. - Why?
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Because of the way that you're acting, it's really frustrating.
0:09:30 > 0:09:31I'm going to be there for you.
0:09:31 > 0:09:33I've told you how I feel, so what's the issue?
0:09:33 > 0:09:35I hope you can sort it out for the labour.
0:09:35 > 0:09:39It upsets me more than anything that he can't understand where I'm
0:09:39 > 0:09:41coming from, but I'd still like some sympathy from him.
0:09:47 > 0:09:52With Callum heading backwards, Adam is only just getting started
0:09:52 > 0:09:57and midwife Fiona's got a monumental job on her hands.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00- Hiya, I'm Adam.- Hi, nice to meet you. Congratulations.
0:10:00 > 0:10:03- Thank you very much. - I'm Fiona, take a seat.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07So if I was to ask Lucy what she would be worried about
0:10:07 > 0:10:10with you in a labour room, what would she say?
0:10:10 > 0:10:13- I kind of flap about, I get very stressed quite easily.- OK.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16And when I get stressed, everything just goes out the window.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19And I don't know whether I'm coming or going, really.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22Hopefully, if we give you the knowledge to make you feel like
0:10:22 > 0:10:26you know what you're going to do, you won't get that flapping.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31Fiona's strategy is, the more Adam knows, the less he'll panic.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Most men feel their partners are given more
0:10:34 > 0:10:37information during the pregnancy.
0:10:37 > 0:10:41The question is, just how much does Adam really know?
0:10:41 > 0:10:44I wrote down a few questions, in my pocket,
0:10:44 > 0:10:49- just to kind of see how much you know.- Right.
0:10:49 > 0:10:55Now, no pressure. So, how many stages of labour are there?
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Two?
0:10:58 > 0:11:02OK, that's...not so good. What is a cervix?
0:11:02 > 0:11:04HE LAUGHS
0:11:04 > 0:11:08It's...what is it again? I have heard of it.
0:11:08 > 0:11:12It's something to do with downstairs.
0:11:12 > 0:11:16OK. What stage should a woman come into hospital?
0:11:16 > 0:11:19How often should her contractions be?
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I don't know.
0:11:23 > 0:11:27Before long, it's clear to Fiona Adam has no idea about anything.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Do you know what a baby is?
0:11:31 > 0:11:33- Yes.- Excellent.
0:11:33 > 0:11:35OK, maybe one thing.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39I think Adam's level of knowledge is erm...very limited.
0:11:39 > 0:11:42I think if Adam went into a delivery room now,
0:11:42 > 0:11:46he would be really scared, he would, he would flap,
0:11:46 > 0:11:49and get very anxious, and that's not what we want.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53With just over a month till delivery,
0:11:53 > 0:11:57Adam's wife Lucy is under no illusions about the task ahead.
0:11:57 > 0:11:59So she's also pitching in.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02I've even got an app on here that's a contraction counter,
0:12:02 > 0:12:04- Ad, I was meant to tell you.- Really?
0:12:04 > 0:12:06It kind of logs them all, so rather than you having to
0:12:06 > 0:12:08write down or something, you know what I mean?
0:12:08 > 0:12:11- So it's quite good, I thought. - Idiot proof.
0:12:11 > 0:12:14- Yeah.- For me. - This is for the man.
0:12:14 > 0:12:18I definitely do want Adam to learn as much as he can, just
0:12:18 > 0:12:21cos there is so much that goes into it. So I think him then gaining the
0:12:21 > 0:12:25knowledge that he is now from his classes I think will really help him.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32Four weeks to go till their babies arrive and Callum
0:12:32 > 0:12:35and Adam have had their first lessons.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37Now, the midwives feel the first-time dads-to-be
0:12:37 > 0:12:41are ready for a crash course in responsibility.
0:12:41 > 0:12:46I would like you to meet Adam Junior. Here he is.
0:12:46 > 0:12:49Will stress-head Adam be able to cope with
0:12:49 > 0:12:52the pressure of caring for a newborn robo-baby?
0:12:52 > 0:12:57The surprise is, that on Sunday morning,
0:12:57 > 0:13:00this baby is going to become a live baby.
0:13:01 > 0:13:08And he's going to cry, and he's going to scream, and you,
0:13:08 > 0:13:14for 24 hours, are going to be the sole carer of this baby.
0:13:14 > 0:13:16I didn't see this one coming, but yeah.
0:13:16 > 0:13:21With Adam Junior comes all the tools you'll need.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24Adam's worried about staying calm under pressure,
0:13:24 > 0:13:29so having a newborn baby is actually really stressful.
0:13:29 > 0:13:31This robo-baby will be a test of that.
0:13:36 > 0:13:40And in Portsmouth, with his very own robo-baby to care for,
0:13:40 > 0:13:44can 19-year-old Callum prove he's ready for fatherhood?
0:13:44 > 0:13:46- Hey, babe. - What, what have you got?
0:13:46 > 0:13:48A baby.
0:13:51 > 0:13:53Now support his head, support his head.
0:13:53 > 0:13:55I know how to hold a baby.
0:13:55 > 0:13:57Basically, this is like, this is meant to be a breast.
0:13:57 > 0:13:59Isn't this your homework? Why are you giving it to me?
0:13:59 > 0:14:02I'm just showing you, this is what you have to do.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04When the real baby comes, most of that will be down to me.
0:14:04 > 0:14:07Breastfeeding and taking care of it and all that stuff, but for now
0:14:07 > 0:14:10I'm going to sit back, put my feet up
0:14:10 > 0:14:13and watch him deal with the fake one.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16But Callum's got other ideas.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18Basically, this baby on Sunday, I'm working all day
0:14:18 > 0:14:20so you're going to have to have the baby.
0:14:20 > 0:14:21But this is your homework
0:14:21 > 0:14:24and it's for you to learn about the baby, not for me.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26I know I've got to learn about it but if I'm not here...
0:14:26 > 0:14:29The first day it gets turned on is Sunday and you're
0:14:29 > 0:14:30expecting me to do it.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32Can you look after the baby for me in the morning?
0:14:32 > 0:14:35Then I'll look after it for the rest of the day.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39- OK, just for the morning. - Just for the morning.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42That's the only time I'm helping you out, just the morning.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44- That's all right, OK. - And then the rest is down to you.
0:14:44 > 0:14:45OK, that's fine.
0:14:47 > 0:14:5124 hours of fatherhood is about to begin.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Adam's robo-baby is about to come alive.
0:14:55 > 0:14:56Bottle.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Nappy, muslin.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I can't just pass the baby over to anyone.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07It's totally, the whole of today the baby's my responsibility.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I'm not really good under pressure
0:15:09 > 0:15:12so er...hopefully I don't get under pressure.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16BABY CRIES
0:15:16 > 0:15:18Here we go.
0:15:20 > 0:15:24For the next 24 hours, new dad Adam has to look after baby
0:15:24 > 0:15:26all by himself.
0:15:26 > 0:15:28And he's got it all to do.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34This baby won't stop crying until he works out if it needs feeding,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36changing, or burping.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41The burping didn't seem to be working
0:15:41 > 0:15:48so I've tried to fed the baby, which isn't working either.
0:15:48 > 0:15:53At the moment, I have no idea what to do and how to do it.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00Callum's robo-baby has also come to life.
0:16:00 > 0:16:02- See you, Laura.- Bye.
0:16:02 > 0:16:05But with Callum off to work,
0:16:05 > 0:16:08a heavily pregnant Laura is left holding the baby.
0:16:10 > 0:16:12BABY CRIES
0:16:14 > 0:16:17I don't know what to do. I don't like dollies,
0:16:17 > 0:16:20they really freak me out, and this one's making noises.
0:16:22 > 0:16:28As part of their crash course, the midwives want the dads to meet up.
0:16:28 > 0:16:32So today Adam is travelling to Portsmouth to see Callum.
0:16:32 > 0:16:36But there's just the small matter of a car seat.
0:16:36 > 0:16:42I've literally not got a clue of how to put this on.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49That's definitely not it.
0:16:49 > 0:16:51I'm getting a bit stressed at the moment.
0:16:53 > 0:16:54Not a Scooby Doo.
0:16:56 > 0:17:01I can't do this. Very, very stressed.
0:17:01 > 0:17:03Very stressed at the moment.
0:17:03 > 0:17:05HE SIGHS
0:17:07 > 0:17:11After all that, Adam may need a shoulder to cry on.
0:17:13 > 0:17:17Good job he's visiting Mr Sympathy himself.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20Little does Adam know that
0:17:20 > 0:17:23so far Callum is yet to take over the care of his baby.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27I hope the other dad's having a more stressful time cos this
0:17:27 > 0:17:31is constantly crying, the baby, or wanting something.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33It's a good insight though.
0:17:33 > 0:17:36I hope he's getting a lot out of it, as much as I am.
0:17:36 > 0:17:38- How you doing, all right? - Yeah, not bad.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40- How you finding this thing? - Yeah, interesting.
0:17:40 > 0:17:43- My girlfriend's only just given it to me so...- Oh.
0:17:43 > 0:17:46I haven't actually had any contact with it all day.
0:17:46 > 0:17:50Oh, really? Interesting. You will do, that's for sure.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53- Has it been crying and stuff?- Yeah.
0:17:53 > 0:17:54Has it done it a lot or...?
0:17:54 > 0:17:57Yeah, earlier, I couldn't stop it crying.
0:17:57 > 0:17:59It just constantly cried and cried and cried.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02I started getting stressed out this morning.
0:18:02 > 0:18:03I think I'd say I'm the opposite to that,
0:18:03 > 0:18:06I don't think I'd be, have a problem with it at all.
0:18:06 > 0:18:07Yeah?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10Yeah, I'd just, well..I say that now
0:18:10 > 0:18:13but when it actually comes to it I'll probably be like,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15screaming my head off.
0:18:15 > 0:18:16He seems to think it's a doddle.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19And it's not a doddle at all and he's going to have a shock
0:18:19 > 0:18:21when he's got to look after the baby later on
0:18:21 > 0:18:23and you realise how hard it is.
0:18:25 > 0:18:28BABY CRIES
0:18:28 > 0:18:32And sure enough, it's not quite as easy, as Callum thought.
0:18:39 > 0:18:43I didn't think it would go on for this long.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46Bouncing the baby, bouncing the baby.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52Whereas Adam's taking it all in his stride.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55That's it - you're a natural, Ads.
0:18:55 > 0:18:59I'll keep going until there's a different noise.
0:18:59 > 0:19:02- Happy sound? - It's a happy sound.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05I think he's done quite well, actually. I'm impressed.
0:19:05 > 0:19:09From what I've seen, he's changed the nappy, undressed the baby
0:19:09 > 0:19:11so I think it's really good homework.
0:19:11 > 0:19:13But there's a long night ahead.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20Laura and baby are fast asleep.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22Good night, baby, hope you don't make a sound tonight.
0:19:22 > 0:19:24No doubt it probably will.
0:19:24 > 0:19:29And after a 14-hour shift at work, all Callum wants to do is join them.
0:19:31 > 0:19:33BABY CRIES
0:19:36 > 0:19:40After just 20 minutes, Callum gets his first wakeup call.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48Just shut my eyes and get kicked out of bed cos the baby's started.
0:19:48 > 0:19:49As does Adam.
0:19:50 > 0:19:52BABY CRIES
0:19:52 > 0:19:57Here we go. It's 12.00 now.
0:19:57 > 0:19:59HE GROANS
0:19:59 > 0:20:01Knackered.com.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07There will be no rest for these two dads-to-be.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13This baby, it's just ridiculous.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16Even the hamster's pissed off, he's woken up.
0:20:18 > 0:20:20BABY CRIES
0:20:22 > 0:20:25Might actually have to get a screwdriver in a minute
0:20:25 > 0:20:28and sort something out because this is pissing me off.
0:20:29 > 0:20:33By 4.00 in the morning, Callum has been woken up by his baby
0:20:33 > 0:20:35almost every half an hour.
0:20:39 > 0:20:43And with the 24-hour challenge almost up,
0:20:43 > 0:20:47thanks to the midwives, Callum is starting to see things differently.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49It's definitely not a walk in the park.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52A baby's not as easy as I thought it would be.
0:20:56 > 0:21:00Adam may have exceeded expectations caring for his baby...
0:21:00 > 0:21:01Hello.
0:21:01 > 0:21:02But with time running out,
0:21:02 > 0:21:05Fiona's worried about how little he knows about the birth.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Lesson two for Tottenham fan Adam is...labour. With a kick.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14I'm so rubbish.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16I'm better at delivering babies.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20I'm hoping that by relating midwifery to football
0:21:20 > 0:21:24it will stick in his memory to make him feel more confident
0:21:24 > 0:21:28and less stressed and he will be a much better birthing partner.
0:21:28 > 0:21:31So what do you think is the most important thing
0:21:31 > 0:21:32about being a football fan?
0:21:32 > 0:21:34Well, my main one's just loyalty.
0:21:34 > 0:21:38So that means if they're winning, losing, no matter what happens...
0:21:38 > 0:21:41- Always support them. - Always support them.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43So what do you think you're going to be in the labour room?
0:21:43 > 0:21:45Always supporting Lucy.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Number one fan, you've got it absolutely right.
0:21:48 > 0:21:52If you remember how you would feel at different times in football
0:21:52 > 0:21:55matches, especially important ones.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57- Spurs V Arsenal, yeah. - Yeah, Spurs V Arsenal.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00That's how you're going to feel in the delivery room. OK.
0:22:00 > 0:22:04But you've got to try and remember to stay calm and focus.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07- Would you say that's the same in football?- Yeah.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10- For the players?- For the players, they have to be focussed, yeah.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12WHISTLE BLOWS
0:22:12 > 0:22:17And just like football, the right position is key for the best result.
0:22:17 > 0:22:20I'd like you to sit on this birthing ball,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23and I want you to kick it into goal.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25THEY LAUGH
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Right, now kick it.
0:22:28 > 0:22:31Having a baby lying flat on your back is not, it's not easy.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34OK. Because you wouldn't push that way.
0:22:34 > 0:22:39It's really, really, really much better to be upright,
0:22:39 > 0:22:42because the baby is coming out like this.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44It's given me a big insight.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47The main thing I've learnt is obviously supporting my wife
0:22:47 > 0:22:51Lucy during labour, and helping her out as much as I can.
0:22:51 > 0:22:54I see a difference now in Adam already
0:22:54 > 0:22:58but there's still a chance that he could get stressed if he
0:22:58 > 0:23:02doesn't think about what he's learnt and take it in and remember it.
0:23:06 > 0:23:09There's not much time till Callum and Adam have to prove themselves
0:23:09 > 0:23:12at the births of their own real babies,
0:23:12 > 0:23:16and so the midwives decide step it up a gear.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18What do you think they're for?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21- Cutting her open? If you need to stretch her a little bit.- No.
0:23:21 > 0:23:23Erm, I don't really know.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25This is a bit more home from home room
0:23:25 > 0:23:26so you can actually stay over with her.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28Oh wow, it's like a bedroom.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34- That's it. Oh, that's good. - Yeah?- Yeah.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37While confident Adam considers making Lucy's birth
0:23:37 > 0:23:39experience a little more interesting.
0:23:39 > 0:23:43Floating in this is just really lovely.
0:23:43 > 0:23:44- Heaven, maybe.- Heaven.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47SQUEALS
0:23:49 > 0:23:51Every week with the midwife I'm actually,
0:23:51 > 0:23:54I'm actually learning different stuff so it's good.
0:23:54 > 0:23:57I see a difference. I mean, he's not an expert by any means
0:23:57 > 0:24:01but I think he's starting to feel, do you know what, I can do this.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Oh, now I'm scared.
0:24:03 > 0:24:08Callum makes a brave attempt to dive right in at the business end.
0:24:08 > 0:24:10You all right there, Laura? ROBOT SCREAMS
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Oh, yes, she's pushing well, good girl.
0:24:12 > 0:24:15- I can see the head starting to come. - Eurgh! I don't want to see that!
0:24:15 > 0:24:16You don't want to see that?
0:24:16 > 0:24:19It definitely helped me, I'm pleased I've seen that now,
0:24:19 > 0:24:20cos that gives me more of an idea.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23But I don't like blood, it's just a preference of mine
0:24:23 > 0:24:26and I don't really think seeing it on a sheet with a baby coming
0:24:26 > 0:24:28out of it's going to make me like it any more.
0:24:28 > 0:24:32Hopefully for Laura's sake he will be appropriately supportive.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34Yeah, hope so.
0:24:34 > 0:24:36Yeah, I'm sure he will.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Callum is desperate to make it to the birth,
0:24:41 > 0:24:44even though it looks like he'll never get
0:24:44 > 0:24:46over his fear of the red stuff.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49In a last-ditch attempt to man up,
0:24:49 > 0:24:53Callum turns to a man whose seen it all before,
0:24:53 > 0:24:55his dad, and father to five.
0:24:55 > 0:24:58Were you in the delivery room like, or when we were born?
0:24:58 > 0:24:59Yes, I saw you being born.
0:24:59 > 0:25:03How was it, having to look at it when it comes out?
0:25:03 > 0:25:06Cos obviously, for me, it's a bit worrying, seeing it all come out.
0:25:06 > 0:25:07How did you find that?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09It's a beautiful experience, especially
0:25:09 > 0:25:11when the baby gets cleaned up and they bring him back,
0:25:11 > 0:25:15put her in your arms, make sure everything's OK, Laura's OK.
0:25:15 > 0:25:17What about the blood and everything, did you see all that?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Yeah, you see everything.
0:25:19 > 0:25:21Did it put you off going there again, having seen it?
0:25:21 > 0:25:25No, not at all. As the sex had dried up for a few weeks beforehand,
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I felt like giving her one there and then.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I mean, it had been a few weeks since we'd had sex
0:25:30 > 0:25:33because the baby was getting closer and closer.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37So obviously, when she's laid down, just as it's starting to happen,
0:25:37 > 0:25:39I just got a bit horny.
0:25:39 > 0:25:40HE LAUGHS
0:25:40 > 0:25:42What, are you really worried about...?
0:25:42 > 0:25:43I'm worried about...
0:25:43 > 0:25:47I'm worried about seeing her, with the baby coming out,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49like half way out and thinking that's disgusting.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51No, it would never, it would never put you off.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52That's what I'm worried about.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55You read stories, don't you, so I'm worried about that.
0:25:55 > 0:25:56Everybody's different.
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Callum's heard lots of these stories.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01He plays a lot of football and there's a plenty of banter.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03I think that's just got the better of him
0:26:03 > 0:26:04and made him worry a little bit.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07Having a chat with my dad's definitely helped me.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10I was actually surprised that he was there for all of them
0:26:10 > 0:26:12and that he enjoyed them cos I thought he was a bit like me.
0:26:12 > 0:26:15A bit like - eurgh, I don't want to see that.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18But knowing that he can do it, I feel like I can do it now.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Finally, there are signs that Callum will try
0:26:21 > 0:26:24and hold it together in the delivery room.
0:26:24 > 0:26:25The question is,
0:26:25 > 0:26:30will he be able to focus on supporting Laura through her labour?
0:26:30 > 0:26:31Hey, babe.
0:26:31 > 0:26:37With his baby due any day now, the midwives need him to prove it.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40I hope Callum demonstrates that he's taking things seriously now.
0:26:40 > 0:26:44That he's learnt some of the skills that I've managed to teach him
0:26:44 > 0:26:47and that's he's able to support her in an appropriate way at the
0:26:47 > 0:26:51appropriate time, especially while she's at home in those early stages.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Hello.- Hi, Callum. How are you?
0:26:53 > 0:26:55- How are you? Come in. - Thank you very much.
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Laura, what we were hoping you would be able to do is
0:26:57 > 0:27:01to pretend that you are having contractions and we'll
0:27:01 > 0:27:05see what Callum can do to relieve that discomfort for you.
0:27:05 > 0:27:06She's going into labour,
0:27:06 > 0:27:10it's exciting and scary and you're here to help support her.
0:27:10 > 0:27:15There's nothing wrong with doing some nice, big sweeping massages.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17- Yeah.- So have a go.
0:27:18 > 0:27:20Sweeeeeping.
0:27:20 > 0:27:22You're digging your thumbs in too hard.
0:27:22 > 0:27:25This is how they massage people in real life.
0:27:25 > 0:27:26How's that?
0:27:26 > 0:27:29No, that is just really uncomfortable.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31- OK. That's awful! - What about that?
0:27:31 > 0:27:34Yeah, but don't...don't poke your thumbs in too much.
0:27:34 > 0:27:35How's that?
0:27:37 > 0:27:38Yeah, that's OK.
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Do you feel that this is going to help you at all?
0:27:40 > 0:27:41Or do you feel it's more annoying
0:27:41 > 0:27:43because he's not quite getting it right?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45Yeah, I do actually, now you've said it.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47More annoying cos he's not getting it right?
0:27:47 > 0:27:48Maybe use the whole of your hand.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51I can't because of the way you're lying. Can you turn around?
0:27:51 > 0:27:52No, she can't.
0:27:52 > 0:27:55I'd turn around and slap you if you asked me to do that.
0:27:55 > 0:27:56And I feel really wet.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I think something's happened down below.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00- There you go.- My waters have broken. - There you go.
0:28:00 > 0:28:03Are you concerned her waters have broken? You don't seem bothered.
0:28:03 > 0:28:06- Does it matter?- Um, yeah, sort of. - Should we go to hospital now?
0:28:06 > 0:28:10You haven't shown me anything that you can do yet that helps Laura
0:28:10 > 0:28:12when she's going through her contractions or anything.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15And this could all happen at 3.00 in the morning, Callum,
0:28:15 > 0:28:16when you will be tired.
0:28:16 > 0:28:18It'll be different on the day though.
0:28:18 > 0:28:21I know, I know what you mean but we do need to practice.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Today has left midwife Kate with big concerns.
0:28:24 > 0:28:28Callum may not realise Laura could go into labour at any stage now.
0:28:28 > 0:28:31And she's going to want him to be the supportive partner,
0:28:31 > 0:28:33helping her, suggesting things,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36guiding her through her early stages of labour.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40And I'm not too sure he's given me enough evidence that he's
0:28:40 > 0:28:43going to be the man to do the job at the time.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46I think Callum needs to get a bit of a reality check.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49This is going to be happening very soon.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55And things are happening sooner than expected over at Waltham Forest.
0:28:56 > 0:28:59On her way in to a midwife routine check,
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Adam's wife Lucy thinks her waters may have broken.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06And she's calling her stress-head husband to let him know.
0:29:06 > 0:29:09Right before I come out, I just had a erm...
0:29:09 > 0:29:12I dunno, like a bit of a pop before I come out.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15And sort of a bit of water or something coming out of me,
0:29:15 > 0:29:19and I've kind of been leaking a little bit while I've been driving.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22Well, while I'm in the car sort of going to the hospital to see
0:29:22 > 0:29:26the midwife. Yeah, so obviously I'm in the best place.
0:29:26 > 0:29:30I'm going to speak to the midwife and see what she thinks.
0:29:30 > 0:29:32Can you step up on here, sweetheart.
0:29:32 > 0:29:34Is that too high for you?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36If Lucy's waters have broken,
0:29:36 > 0:29:40she'll be giving birth in less than 48 hours.
0:29:40 > 0:29:43All lovely, nice lovely head down there so...bottom.
0:29:43 > 0:29:47- Cool.- Back.- Yeah.- Head.- Good girl.
0:29:47 > 0:29:49And the head's quite down, ready for take off.
0:29:49 > 0:29:53- Oh, my God!- OK. So I'm going to... - So she's engaged, is that?
0:29:53 > 0:29:55- Yes.- She is, yeah? Wow.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Yes, it sounds like you might have broken your waters. It's exciting.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00- That's mad.- That's great.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03She said that basically it sounds like my waters have broken
0:30:03 > 0:30:06and that the head is engaged.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10So very much so that I could be going into labour, basically.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13At the moment, I'm texting Adam what to bring,
0:30:13 > 0:30:17and then I've put after, "Because I think I'm going into labour."
0:30:17 > 0:30:18SHE LAUGHS
0:30:18 > 0:30:21So yeah, that's a nice way to put it for him, isn't it?
0:30:21 > 0:30:25He'll probably have heart failure while he's driving.
0:30:25 > 0:30:28The news that his wife is in labour comes as a shock to Adam,
0:30:28 > 0:30:32but he needs to stay calm to be able to offer Lucy the support she needs.
0:30:35 > 0:30:39After five weeks with the midwives, Adam's run the course,
0:30:39 > 0:30:43got the know-how, but can he stay calm when it counts
0:30:43 > 0:30:44in the delivery room?
0:30:46 > 0:30:49Didn't know it was going to happen now.
0:30:49 > 0:30:51Excited and stressed at the moment.
0:30:52 > 0:30:56- You all right, babe? - Hello.- Hiya.- How are you?
0:30:56 > 0:31:00- I'm all right, I'm here, there, and everywhere at the moment.- Good.
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- That come out the blue, didn't it? - Don't, tell me about it
0:31:04 > 0:31:06Bloody hell. I've been like Lewis Hamilton.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08Can't say that on camera!
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Don't go mad, you know you're not allowed to go mad.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12THEY LAUGH
0:31:12 > 0:31:14It's really exciting.
0:31:14 > 0:31:17It is, it is exciting. What happens now is contractions, yeah?
0:31:17 > 0:31:19- Chill. Big breaths.- Yeah.
0:31:19 > 0:31:20What you've got to do is keep calm,
0:31:20 > 0:31:23cos I can hear you getting like ahh ahh.
0:31:23 > 0:31:25I've gone through a pack of fags already.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27I haven't got any more left.
0:31:29 > 0:31:33While Adam's life is about to change for ever, in Portsmouth,
0:31:33 > 0:31:34so is Callum's.
0:31:34 > 0:31:36I think I've just had another one.
0:31:36 > 0:31:38While visiting Gran,
0:31:38 > 0:31:40Laura thinks she may be having her first contractions.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Do you feel as if somebody's doing that to you?
0:31:43 > 0:31:46- It feels like there's pressure. - You look a little bit pained.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48I just don't know what to think.
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Don't panic, don't, just don't panic.
0:31:50 > 0:31:51It's happening again.
0:31:51 > 0:31:55It's happening again? OK. So that's one, two, three...
0:31:55 > 0:31:59Seven contractions since 12.00.
0:31:59 > 0:32:05I personally think this is the beginning of something fantastic.
0:32:05 > 0:32:06'Hello?'
0:32:06 > 0:32:07Hi.
0:32:07 > 0:32:09'You all right?'
0:32:09 > 0:32:11Yeah, we need to just let you know I've been having a few like,
0:32:11 > 0:32:15funny feelings and they're all about like seven minutes apart.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17'Seven minutes apart?'
0:32:17 > 0:32:18Erm, well near enough, about that.
0:32:18 > 0:32:20- 'That's miles.'- Is it?
0:32:20 > 0:32:22'Yeah, you've got nothing to worry about.'
0:32:22 > 0:32:23Why, is it too far?
0:32:23 > 0:32:26'It's fine, it's miles apart. How long are they lasting for?'
0:32:26 > 0:32:28Oh, I dunno. About 30 seconds.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30'30 seconds every seven minutes.'
0:32:30 > 0:32:32About.
0:32:32 > 0:32:34'That's ages but I'll be there in a minute anyway.
0:32:34 > 0:32:36'I'm still in the office, I'll be leaving in a minute.'
0:32:36 > 0:32:38What, are you coming to Nan's?
0:32:38 > 0:32:39'Yeah.' OK.
0:32:39 > 0:32:40- 'Bye, babe.'- Bye.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44He seems to think it's all OK.
0:32:44 > 0:32:48He kind of knows a lot more than I do anyway at this stage.
0:32:50 > 0:32:54So after weeks of learning, Callum's called in to action
0:32:54 > 0:32:57and his birthing partner skills are about to be put to the test.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02Hey, how you feeling? I got you some chocolate.
0:33:02 > 0:33:03How's your contractions?
0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Not very nice.- No? - Look, here it is.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Is it actually started? Oh, these are the timings of them.
0:33:09 > 0:33:10Yeah, that's the timings.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Have you wrote how long they were for?
0:33:12 > 0:33:14How long they lasted?
0:33:14 > 0:33:17Er, not really because they were momentary.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19We need to time them.
0:33:19 > 0:33:22- You've got one now. Look, she's... - Are you having a contraction?
0:33:22 > 0:33:23I think so.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25OK, let me get the timer sorted.
0:33:25 > 0:33:28What, it's like half way through it now, it's a bit late.
0:33:28 > 0:33:30Is that a contraction? Is it that bad?
0:33:30 > 0:33:31It's right uncomfortable.
0:33:31 > 0:33:34Maybe the baby's ready to come. Has your waters broke or anything?
0:33:34 > 0:33:37- No.- Have you had the show? - No.- No.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40- That's weird, isn't it? - I think I'm having another one.
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Oh, quick, time it.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44You're too slow.
0:33:44 > 0:33:47One, two, three, four. There you go, we'll go four from there.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49How is it?
0:33:49 > 0:33:53Really uncomfortable, I want to rip my cloths and just...
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Yes, so it's getting a bit urgent.
0:33:56 > 0:33:57Right, I think it's stopped now.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00- You know what the answer to that is. - That was about a minute.
0:34:00 > 0:34:02Right, I don't think you're going to come any time soon.
0:34:02 > 0:34:05I would like to get you home into a comfortable environment.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08Maybe run you a bath, give you a couple of paracetamol
0:34:08 > 0:34:11- if it gets worse and just basically chill out for a bit.- OK.
0:34:11 > 0:34:16But Callum's not as prepared as he'd like to be.
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Oh shit, I need to put some oil in my car quick.
0:34:19 > 0:34:22- Oh, for fuck's sake!- Sorry. So give me a minute, all right.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24What?! OK. I think I'm having another one.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- You're having a contraction? - Yeah.- Count.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32Ohh! You're really taking your time.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Ah, can't get the fucking cap off!
0:34:35 > 0:34:37I bet I could get it off.
0:34:37 > 0:34:38Shit, I need water as well.
0:34:42 > 0:34:45Even though Lucy is in only the early stages of labour,
0:34:45 > 0:34:48the midwives have decided to keep her at the hospital
0:34:48 > 0:34:51because of a history of fast labours in her family.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Do you want to lean over this chair? Here you are.
0:34:53 > 0:34:56Lean on this chair. Lean over the top.
0:34:59 > 0:35:01With the contractions coming thick and fast,
0:35:01 > 0:35:04Adam must remember everything he's learnt.
0:35:04 > 0:35:07I've got to be the calm one, I've got to be the one that's focussed.
0:35:07 > 0:35:10I've got to try and keep it for the both of us.
0:35:10 > 0:35:14If I'm going mad then she's going to get stressed and we don't want that.
0:35:14 > 0:35:17I'm going to give it a good go, that's for sure.
0:35:17 > 0:35:20If not for me, for my wife and my unborn child.
0:35:22 > 0:35:27If Adam is ever going to lose it, it might just be now.
0:35:27 > 0:35:30His mother, his mother-in-law and his sister have arrived.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33And they're staying for the duration.
0:35:36 > 0:35:41When he phoned me earlier he was really..erm...frantic.
0:35:41 > 0:35:45Now he's got his head together and, you know, they're working together.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Breathe in, breathe out.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48Lovely.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Keep your legs apart.
0:35:51 > 0:35:56Yeah, blood pressure's fine, it's 128 over 77, which is normal.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59But the pulse rate is 100, which is a little bit high.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02But that's just because she's just come off her contraction.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04What Lucy wants to do is, she wants to try,
0:36:04 > 0:36:06go as long as possible and then have the gas and air
0:36:06 > 0:36:09when she needs it and then she can still use the bath.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11OK. He's brilliant.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13I think Adam should train as a midwife.
0:36:13 > 0:36:17I think he's doing really good though, train for a midwife.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Do you want me to do some rubbing or anything?
0:36:21 > 0:36:23We've tested your rubbing skills.
0:36:23 > 0:36:25It's awesome, look, I'll put it into practice, come on.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Callum's eventually got Laura home and it looks like his sessions
0:36:28 > 0:36:31with the midwives may have actually paid off.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33- How's that?- That's actually all right.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36See, I told you. On the day, I'll get in good positions.
0:36:36 > 0:36:39But why couldn't you do it nicely the other day?
0:36:39 > 0:36:42- How's that?- That's fine, thanks.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44- Do you need me to stop? - Yeah, that's OK.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47- All right, let me know when you get another one.- Thank you.
0:36:47 > 0:36:49In a really weird mood.
0:36:51 > 0:36:54He's in, like, a happy good mood.
0:36:54 > 0:36:58I'm feeling quite relaxed. I'm just going to run her a bath,
0:36:58 > 0:37:02light some candles and just basically make sure she's all right.
0:37:02 > 0:37:06This is probably the best he's been throughout the whole nine months.
0:37:06 > 0:37:09These contractions are eight minutes apart.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11I reckon I'm just actually about to have another one,
0:37:11 > 0:37:12literally right now.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Do you want me to hold your glass?
0:37:14 > 0:37:16Yep, right now.
0:37:16 > 0:37:19Obviously, little things are stressing me out.
0:37:19 > 0:37:21Obviously, it's quite a stressful time for her
0:37:21 > 0:37:23and obviously I don't know what she's going through.
0:37:23 > 0:37:26I'm just like, trying to be as supportive as I can for her.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31By evening, Laura's contractions aren't getting any stronger
0:37:31 > 0:37:35or longer, so Callum decides they should get some rest.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38I imagine tonight will be like when we had the old electronic baby
0:37:38 > 0:37:41cos Laura will probably be keeping me up all night
0:37:41 > 0:37:43and basically the first night of the rest of my life.
0:37:45 > 0:37:48I'm going to try and see if I can get comfortable in bed
0:37:48 > 0:37:52and just maybe even see if I can sleep.
0:37:52 > 0:37:56And just see how things go from there, really.
0:38:01 > 0:38:06Are we almost close enough to do something yet?
0:38:06 > 0:38:12You've got ages yet. Have the baby or go to sleep.
0:38:12 > 0:38:13You're irritating me.
0:38:13 > 0:38:17You're irritating me. Stop being an arsehole.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20I'm not being an arsehole, I...
0:38:20 > 0:38:23You just told me to either have the baby or go to sleep.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25I can't just decide what to do.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28You told me to wake you up when stuff happened.
0:38:28 > 0:38:30- Yeah, but not...- And then you get all arsey about it.
0:38:30 > 0:38:34- Don't wake me up unnecessarily. - I didn't wake you up unnecessarily.
0:38:34 > 0:38:37Callum has been taught how to recognise when Laura is ready
0:38:37 > 0:38:40to go to hospital, and using his new knowledge,
0:38:40 > 0:38:44he wants the labour to progress a little further.
0:38:44 > 0:38:45I'm going to go and have a look.
0:38:45 > 0:38:48Yeah, go check to see if your waters have broken.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49Maybe that's what that was.
0:38:52 > 0:38:53Yeah, I think so.
0:38:53 > 0:38:56It's brown and gooey and wet.
0:38:56 > 0:38:59OK, shall I ring the midwife now your waters have broke?
0:38:59 > 0:39:00OK.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03You're contractions have,
0:39:03 > 0:39:06you haven't had a contraction in ages though, have you?
0:39:06 > 0:39:07You all right?
0:39:07 > 0:39:09SHE SOBS
0:39:14 > 0:39:17We'll get you down the hospital soon, all right.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23Erm...yeah, basically, Laura's waters have broke.
0:39:27 > 0:39:29Let me just ask her.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32Did your waters go with a gush or a bit of a trickle?
0:39:32 > 0:39:34Erm, something popped and then it was just really wet.
0:39:34 > 0:39:36Something popped and it was just really wet.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39You coping all right?
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Yeah, she's coping all right at the moment.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45It's 1.00 in the morning and Laura's very distressed.
0:39:45 > 0:39:47She's in a bit of pain.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50I think she's realising it's actually going to happen now.
0:39:50 > 0:39:51It's quite weird, innit?
0:39:51 > 0:39:53You all right, babe?
0:39:56 > 0:39:58You all right? No?
0:39:58 > 0:40:02All right, just relax, breathe, remember what we talked about.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Breathe. Relax.
0:40:05 > 0:40:08Breathe. Relax. SHE MOANS
0:40:08 > 0:40:10That's it, keep going.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Just breathing, breathing, remember what we talked about, breathing.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16You all right? Keep breathing.
0:40:16 > 0:40:19I didn't think it would happen today,
0:40:19 > 0:40:21I thought they'd have to induce me.
0:40:21 > 0:40:23It's really weird.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26So Nan was right when she thought it was something then.
0:40:32 > 0:40:35It's been eight hours since Lucy's waters broke
0:40:35 > 0:40:37but she's still in early labour.
0:40:48 > 0:40:52After his lessons with midwife Fiona, Adam knows
0:40:52 > 0:40:54he must keep Lucy moving.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Being upright can be more painful
0:40:56 > 0:40:59but it can also speed up labour by 50%.
0:41:15 > 0:41:17SHE MOANS
0:41:17 > 0:41:20Before long, Lucy's labour is progressing quickly
0:41:20 > 0:41:23and her contractions are coming longer...
0:41:23 > 0:41:24SHE MOANS
0:41:24 > 0:41:25..and stronger.
0:41:29 > 0:41:30He's pushing on you or what?
0:41:30 > 0:41:33Yeah, tell her to come in, she needs to come in.
0:41:33 > 0:41:37Lucy has a sudden urge to push, so Adam calls the midwife.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40She's trying to push.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42LUCY MOANS
0:41:46 > 0:41:49Last time Lucy was examined, five hours ago,
0:41:49 > 0:41:52she was just 1.5 centimetres dilated.
0:41:56 > 0:41:57Fully what?
0:41:59 > 0:42:03What? 10 centimetres dilated?
0:42:03 > 0:42:06About. She's about 9 centimetres.
0:42:06 > 0:42:11Baby, well done, well done, really well done, give us a kiss.
0:42:11 > 0:42:1510 centimetres dilated means baby is ready to be born.
0:42:15 > 0:42:1710 centimetres dilated.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19- She's not!- Yeah, ten. - She's ready to go?
0:42:19 > 0:42:22Yeah, she's ready to push. She's been trying to push.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25I need to, I need to ring, I need to...
0:42:25 > 0:42:28Nik, come in, please. Only Nikki.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31You all right, darling?
0:42:31 > 0:42:34This is exactly when Adam needs to stay calm,
0:42:34 > 0:42:39but with so many family members to manage, he's starting to lose it.
0:42:39 > 0:42:41- I'm acting like a baby.- Didn't I tell you not to be in here?
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- Did I say come in here? I said only Nikki, didn't I?- Shh!
0:42:46 > 0:42:47That's what I said.
0:42:47 > 0:42:50While Adam struggles to keep it together...
0:42:53 > 0:42:57You all right? You having another one? Just keep breathing.
0:42:57 > 0:43:01..Callum, Laura and her mum have arrived at hospital
0:43:01 > 0:43:04in the early hours.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06You're doing really good, keep going.
0:43:06 > 0:43:09Hello, I've got a pregnant lady.
0:43:09 > 0:43:13Over the last month, Callum has had to face his fear of blood
0:43:13 > 0:43:17and learn to put Laura's needs before his own.
0:43:17 > 0:43:19He's made it into the delivery room,
0:43:19 > 0:43:22can he now put all his knowledge into practice?
0:43:22 > 0:43:25- It hurts so much.- I know.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27I know it does, sweetheart, just try and breathe it away.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29The couple want a water birth,
0:43:29 > 0:43:32and it's on the cards, as long as there are no complications.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34That's fine, just pop your ankles together
0:43:34 > 0:43:38- and then just let your knees go really floppy.- Hold my hand.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40But after a routine examination,
0:43:40 > 0:43:43the midwife finds a problem with Laura's waters.
0:43:43 > 0:43:46I think your baby's had a poo in your tummy.
0:43:46 > 0:43:49- Where it's that greeny, yellowy colour.- Is that bad?
0:43:49 > 0:43:51It's not really bad but it can be a sign that
0:43:51 > 0:43:53baby's been distressed at some point.
0:43:53 > 0:43:55It means we might have to take you to labour ward
0:43:55 > 0:43:57- and have the baby continuously monitored.- OK.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01Laura's baby might not be coping with the demands of labour,
0:44:01 > 0:44:04so Callum must help keep her calm,
0:44:04 > 0:44:07whilst the delivery team monitor the baby's heart rate.
0:44:07 > 0:44:11We want the heartbeat to be between 110 and 160.
0:44:11 > 0:44:14As the baby's heart rate keeps dipping,
0:44:14 > 0:44:18the doctor is called to perform another examination.
0:44:18 > 0:44:19When you can, just roll over.
0:44:19 > 0:44:21Better to get it done now rather than later.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24- Don't force me. - I know, but you need the doctor.
0:44:24 > 0:44:27Just rejig your bum for me. That's it, well done.
0:44:27 > 0:44:30I'm just going to gently examine you.
0:44:30 > 0:44:32Just relax, you need to relax, my dear.
0:44:32 > 0:44:33SHE MOANS
0:44:33 > 0:44:37Well done, sweetheart. Breathe it away. Take big deep breaths.
0:44:37 > 0:44:40Good news here, you are fully dilated, OK.
0:44:40 > 0:44:43- Fully dilated, babe. - Laura, you with me?
0:44:43 > 0:44:47When you have a contraction, you've to give me a good push, yeah?
0:44:47 > 0:44:50I think it's time to see baby now.
0:44:53 > 0:44:55SHE SCREAMS
0:44:55 > 0:44:58That's it, go on, go on, push with all your might.
0:44:58 > 0:44:59Well done.
0:45:04 > 0:45:06Good girl.
0:45:06 > 0:45:10- Really give it some welly, show us this baby.- Ow!
0:45:10 > 0:45:13- You can do it.- Push.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16- Push.- Right down into your bottom, keep it going, breathe.
0:45:16 > 0:45:18Push through it, sweetheart. You can do it.
0:45:18 > 0:45:21- You really can do it. - Push, push, push. Don't bite me!
0:45:21 > 0:45:24- Go on, go on. You're nearly there. - Push, big push, come on now, Lucy.
0:45:24 > 0:45:27- It's nearly there, come on. - Don't be scared, darling.
0:45:30 > 0:45:33Bloody hell, it's right there.
0:45:33 > 0:45:35- She's not far, Luce. - Quarter of an inch.
0:45:35 > 0:45:38- Push.- Keep it going, right down into your bottom.
0:45:38 > 0:45:40- Don't fight it.- Go on, you can do it - Just push it!
0:45:40 > 0:45:41SHE SCREAMS
0:45:41 > 0:45:44SHE MOANS
0:45:52 > 0:45:57Lucy's been pushing for the last hour and Adam is starting to panic.
0:46:00 > 0:46:03Push! Come on!
0:46:03 > 0:46:05Shhhh.
0:46:05 > 0:46:09I can't do it any more. I can't push it any more.
0:46:09 > 0:46:12She's exhausted and her labour has stalled.
0:46:12 > 0:46:14You all right? Yeah?
0:46:14 > 0:46:17After learning about the importance of birthing positions
0:46:17 > 0:46:22in his midwife lessons, Adam knows exactly what will help get baby out.
0:46:22 > 0:46:23Gravity.
0:46:23 > 0:46:26Grab hold of me round my neck and my shoulders.
0:46:26 > 0:46:29Just hold on to Adam, that's it.
0:46:29 > 0:46:32Just put your arms round. Just put it over.
0:46:32 > 0:46:33You've got enough oomph.
0:46:33 > 0:46:37The extra pressure of the baby's head on the cervix stimulates
0:46:37 > 0:46:40hormones that will kick-start the contractions.
0:46:40 > 0:46:45That's it. Come on, that's it. That's it, go on.
0:46:49 > 0:46:51SHE GROANS
0:46:57 > 0:47:01Come on, big push, come on.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04Adam knows he needs to keep Lucy upright
0:47:04 > 0:47:08and mobile for any chance of a natural delivery.
0:47:08 > 0:47:10I know you're tired, baby.
0:47:10 > 0:47:13Once this baby's out, you can sleep as much as you want.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16Come on, let's get some movement in you, come on.
0:47:29 > 0:47:31That's it.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Go on, everything you've got, come on.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39Come on, that's it, come on
0:47:49 > 0:47:52Laura's also struggling to push her baby out naturally,
0:47:52 > 0:47:55so the emergency delivery team take over.
0:47:55 > 0:47:58The doctor came in and it looked like a surgery room
0:47:58 > 0:48:02because six people came in and it was proper like, you think,
0:48:02 > 0:48:04oh shit, something could go wrong here.
0:48:04 > 0:48:07The baby's heart rate has dipped to dangerous levels,
0:48:07 > 0:48:10and it needs to come out as quickly as possible.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13Just because baby is having dips in the heartbeat,
0:48:13 > 0:48:15I can't let you carry on pushing.
0:48:15 > 0:48:19What I'm going to do is apply the cup on the baby's head,
0:48:19 > 0:48:20and I'm going to pull.
0:48:20 > 0:48:23During the contraction, you push, I pull,
0:48:23 > 0:48:25together we deliver the baby, yeah?
0:48:25 > 0:48:28A suction cup, called a ventouse,
0:48:28 > 0:48:32is used to clamp on to the baby's head to help get the baby out,
0:48:32 > 0:48:35which could mean lots of blood.
0:48:35 > 0:48:38This is exactly what Callum fears the most.
0:48:38 > 0:48:42OK, Laura, now I've applied the cup on the baby's head.
0:48:42 > 0:48:45Now when you have a contraction, you're going to give me a good push.
0:48:45 > 0:48:47Everything down, OK?
0:48:47 > 0:48:51Give me big pushes as if you are doing a big poo, OK?
0:48:51 > 0:48:53And baby's not very happy
0:48:53 > 0:48:56so I don't want to carry this on for a long time, OK.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58- OK.- One coming in now?- Yep.
0:48:58 > 0:49:01- Right into your bottom, push again. - Big push, keep pushing.
0:49:01 > 0:49:02SHE SCREAMS
0:49:02 > 0:49:04Keep it going.
0:49:04 > 0:49:05Yes, you can, you can do it.
0:49:05 > 0:49:08Laura, everything down, all your energy down, come on, push.
0:49:08 > 0:49:11- That's it. That's it.- Push down, right into your bottom.
0:49:11 > 0:49:14- Push down, I need you to push down. - Right into your bottom.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16- That's it, well done. - Well done, good girl.- Oh, my God!
0:49:16 > 0:49:18- Good girl.- You're doing beautifully.
0:49:18 > 0:49:20Keep it going, sweetheart. This is your baby's head.
0:49:20 > 0:49:22- Well done.- Keep going.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25Keep it going, keep it going, you're doing brilliantly,
0:49:25 > 0:49:26keep it going, keep it going.
0:49:26 > 0:49:29Beautiful, beautiful. Well done, sweetheart.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31That's your baby's head, sweetheart. Beautiful, well done.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33- Well done, Laura.- Well done.
0:49:33 > 0:49:38Big, big, big push. Big, big, big push.
0:49:38 > 0:49:41- Darling, look down.- Well done.
0:49:41 > 0:49:43Congratulations.
0:49:43 > 0:49:45Oh, my God. It's a baby.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48Well done, well done, now you're going to cry, aren't you?
0:49:52 > 0:49:57After 19 hours of labour, Callum and Laura have a healthy baby girl.
0:50:00 > 0:50:05And Callum has supported Laura to the very end.
0:50:05 > 0:50:08SHE SCREAMS
0:50:08 > 0:50:11And when push comes to shove,
0:50:11 > 0:50:14Adam puts all his problems of old to one side.
0:50:14 > 0:50:16One big push.
0:50:31 > 0:50:34She's there, she's there. Oh, look at her!
0:50:34 > 0:50:38Do you want to take baby, Adam? Take baby, take baby.
0:50:40 > 0:50:43Oh, my God!
0:50:43 > 0:50:48After 14 hours of labour, their daughter is born.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50Look at your head. Look at your head.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53- Hello, it's Daddy. - You're a bit squashed.
0:50:53 > 0:50:58- That's it.- Hello.- Let's just get her a nice, dry towel.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01- Look at you. - Do you want to cut the cord?
0:51:01 > 0:51:05- So just in between there, darling. - Is she sucking her thumb, Luce?
0:51:05 > 0:51:08- That's it.- She's sucking her thumb!
0:51:08 > 0:51:11Lovely. Well done, well done, well done.
0:51:11 > 0:51:13Hello, my darling.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16Well done, darling.
0:51:16 > 0:51:19I love you. Hello, beautiful.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23I think Adam was completely fantastic and the way that they
0:51:23 > 0:51:27were supporting each other was just wonderful and Adam was really calm.
0:51:27 > 0:51:29Really calm.
0:51:32 > 0:51:34That was the most amazing experience that I've ever
0:51:34 > 0:51:36encountered in my life.
0:51:36 > 0:51:38I think I've done exactly what I was supposed to do,
0:51:38 > 0:51:40what my trainers taught me.
0:51:40 > 0:51:42So I'm very happy with that. I didn't flap.
0:51:42 > 0:51:45Oh, is she allowed a flash?
0:51:45 > 0:51:47- No.- Bless you, darling.
0:51:47 > 0:51:485lb 8.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50- Nine.- 5lb 9?- 5lb 9.
0:51:50 > 0:51:54- I was so close!- 5lb 9.
0:51:54 > 0:52:00My heart just grew twice the size. It's amazing, absolutely amazing.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02Just by that bit there, between my finger and the bit.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Yep, bit chewy. Well done.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07- Definitely a girl?- Yep, yep.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09I think Callum did prove that dads have an important role
0:52:09 > 0:52:11in deliveries and supporting their partners.
0:52:11 > 0:52:14He was there for Laura and she needed him.
0:52:19 > 0:52:23Oh, she's opening her eyes and she's got blue eyes, I think.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26You're so cute. I love you.
0:52:26 > 0:52:30I think I surprised myself as well, like, seeing the baby come out
0:52:30 > 0:52:33because obviously it's something I never thought I'd do.
0:52:33 > 0:52:37Yep, oh, she's disgraced herself! Look at the state of that.
0:52:37 > 0:52:40- Oh, lovely!- Oh, goodness me. - She's been to the toilet already.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42So much poo.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46And even after the birth is over,
0:52:46 > 0:52:49Callum continues to put his knowledge into practice.
0:52:49 > 0:52:53As he is able to help Laura and his daughter Layla
0:52:53 > 0:52:55with their first breastfeed.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58Let her have a little play. Nipple to nose, remember.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04Aw, she found it.
0:53:04 > 0:53:06It's an unbelievable moment.
0:53:06 > 0:53:08Until it actually happens to you, it's hard to describe
0:53:08 > 0:53:11but when you get that moment, you'll just know.
0:53:11 > 0:53:13It's the perfect moment.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23Cal, I think she's got a smelly nappy.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26Seriously, all you do is make me change nappies.
0:53:26 > 0:53:27It's like all you do.
0:53:27 > 0:53:29You've fed her and now you want me to change the nappy.
0:53:29 > 0:53:32- I haven't fed her yet.- What a joke. - I would have done it.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35It's two weeks after the birth of their daughter Layla,
0:53:35 > 0:53:39and Callum and Laura are settling into a new life as parents.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41If you don't wee when I'm changing you
0:53:41 > 0:53:44then it wouldn't take so long, would it?
0:53:44 > 0:53:46No. Shhhh.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50Cal's much more, like, responsible.
0:53:50 > 0:53:53I was thinking in my head, OK, once we've had the baby it's going
0:53:53 > 0:53:57to be like a complete joke to him, which I found hard.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00But now we've had the baby, he's like a completely different person.
0:54:00 > 0:54:04It's just a big change. It's surprised me a lot.
0:54:08 > 0:54:11I'm definitely over the fear of gore and blood, without a doubt.
0:54:11 > 0:54:13It's natural.
0:54:13 > 0:54:17You've just got to remember what it was for, like the baby coming out.
0:54:17 > 0:54:18And that bit is special.
0:54:18 > 0:54:23And now she's here, it just makes it all seem worthwhile.
0:54:23 > 0:54:24Ready for our life to begin now.
0:54:27 > 0:54:30Here you go, Daddy's little princess.
0:54:32 > 0:54:34For Adam and Lucy,
0:54:34 > 0:54:38the arrival of daughter Lexi has seen some welcome changes at home.
0:54:38 > 0:54:43Here you go, wake up, wakey-wakey. Come on.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45Here you go, darling.
0:54:45 > 0:54:48Adam definitely can be as calm, cool,
0:54:48 > 0:54:50collected as he wants to be.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53Do you want to wipe under her chin, babe?
0:54:53 > 0:54:54In the beginning,
0:54:54 > 0:54:57there were a few things that Adam probably did get a little bit...
0:54:57 > 0:54:59I suppose he felt a bit frustrated that he couldn't do it or he
0:54:59 > 0:55:03felt he couldn't do it with Lexi but he's very confident with that now.
0:55:03 > 0:55:04The other day he said to me,
0:55:04 > 0:55:07"I'm quite, you know, I'm quite proud of myself, Luce."
0:55:07 > 0:55:09Well done.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13Obviously, at the birth, I was quite emotional but now it's just,
0:55:13 > 0:55:16I'm in such deep love with our child.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18It's...it's beautiful.
0:55:18 > 0:55:20All done.
0:55:20 > 0:55:24She could cry and cry and cry and I could still have a smile on my face.
0:55:24 > 0:55:29I can relax and not get stressed when I'm doing stuff with Lexi.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32Having a child is just the best feeling ever, ever.
