One Born Every Minute

S04:É14 - S04:E14 - Episode 14

How we manage stress is the underlying theme on this week’s One Born Every Minute. Judith (28) and husband Mike (31) met when they were kids. Mike had always assumed Judith was out of his league until they met up again after university at a friend’s party. A trained pharmacist, Judith is a self-confessed control freak and perfectionist for whom pregnancy has made her feel ”out of control”. Mike, on the other hand, is so laid back he’s ‘practically horizontal’. One thing they have in common is their belief in Christianity. And when things don’t go to plan in the delivery room, the couple put their faith in God as well as the medical staff. Beth (17) met Dominic (22) by chance in McDonalds and was immediately attracted to the fact that “he talked about everything and wouldn’t shut up!’ Their relationship developed fast and, without planning it, Beth fell pregnant. Dominic becomes more and more anxious as the labour develops and he paces around like a ‘blue horsefly’. Beth was brought up by her dad and her grandma, Sandra who has vowed not to leave Beth’s side at the birth - which is just as well because when the all-important moment arrives, dad is having a nervous smoke in the car park and misses the birth!
