One Born Every Minute

This week on One Born Every Minute two strong mothers stand by their daughters giving birth. Sam (23) is covered in tattoos, loves heavy metal and keeps a pet snake. As a teenager, Sam went off the rails, arguing with her mum every day, drinking and stealing money. In the end, Sam ran away from home and ended up sleeping rough. Then she met her long-haired lover Biaggio (24) at the ice-skating rink. They thought it was a one night stand and then discovered the bond went deeper. Sam’s mum is like the ‘The Duracell Bunny’ says Biaggio and is grateful for her never-ending energy when things get tough in the delivery room. Claire (20) and Clint (23) met in a nightclub in Leeds. They both admit they’re very shy but the drink did the talking. A few days later, they went to the cinema together and Claire kept the tickets in a scrapbook because she’s ‘soppy like that’. Since then, they have been “inseparable” she says. That is, apart from when they split up which happened to be when Claire found out she was pregnant. It was a massive shock to Claire’s mother who couldn’t hide her disappointment. Claire always knew she wanted her mum to be at the birth because she is her ‘rock’ but whether Clint should be there wasn’t such an easy decision.
