One Born Every Minute

The BAFTA award-winning One Born Every Minute continues from its new home at Liverpool Women's Hospital - the largest and busiest maternity unit in Europe. Tonight a Mummy’s boy has to put down his cuddly toy and face fatherhood for the first time, a self-confessed baby machine arrives to deliver her fifth child and childhood sweethearts can’t wait to take their baby home to their first house. Gina (27) and James (27) met at university when Gina was on an exchange programme from her hometown Shanghai. They survived their long-distance relationship by talking to each other through their cuddly toys over the internet. James’ mum Carol admits “I often wondered whether James would find anyone who had the same silliness as him, so when he did meet Gina, I was made up because the two of them can be just as silly together.” With a baby on the way however, the couples’ maturity will be put to the test. Meanwhile Margy(38) and Christos(33) are in Liverpool Women’s to have their fifth child. The couple met on a football chat-room and if Margy had her way she would have enough babies to form an entire team. Her husband thinks she may be addicted to having babies, “when she has a baby in her lap she’s probably the most complete in her life that she can ever be” but with Christos threatening to have a vasectomy, will Margy be able to stop having babies and learn to enjoy watching the ones she has had grow up. Childhood sweethearts Sarah (27) and Craig (27) met at school when a 15 year-old Craig plucked up the courage to kiss Sarah, “one of the fitties of the year” But falling pregnant young meant living with with her parents and so starting their own family home has had to wait, until now.
