The first episode introduces the straight-talking midwifery team in Bristol as an expectant father risks missing his daughter's birth and one of the team helps her neighbour through labour.
There's tension as a teenage mum asks her dad and boyfriend to both be present at the birth; a vicar's wife seeks divine intervention; and a young couple hope for a simpler labour second time around.
A farmer finds his baby's birth a far cry from lambing season, a former midwife must take a back seat in the birth room, and a laidback dad nearly misses his daughter's birth.
A young couple refuse to let a tough start hold them back, parents with four boys await the arrival of a girl, and a mum who didn't think she could conceive naturally prepares for her first baby.
A mum who donated her eggs but went on to have fertility problems herself, a couple whose whirlwind romance resulted in an unexpected pregnancy, and the mum who's finally having her miracle baby.
