One Born Every Minute

S05:E02 - Episode 2

This week on One Born Every Minute, wedding plans are hatched in the birthing pool, a couple face their fears in theatre and a Naval officer is all at sea with the arrival of his first baby. First time mum, Lucy (22) admits she's afraid of everything from roller coasters to sewing needles so the thought of giving birth is completely terrifying. She says she’s just little and “knows how small her bits are”, wondering how on earth the baby is going come out. Doting fiancé, Sam (23) has his proposal to Lucy is all planned out and the rings are en route from eBay. But despite all the distractions, panic soon sets in. Amy (31) and her naval engineer husband, Paul (31) arrive at Southmead Hospital for an induction. But after a quick examination, it becomes clear that Paul is far more squeamish than he expected “If I could get away with pacing the corridor outside while the womenfolk give birth” he says, “then I would.” Amy is quite clear that is not going to happen and Paul will be by her side. Meanwhile, Dianne (33) is understandably concerned about giving birth as the last time she was in labour there were serious complications. This time Dianne and husband John (32) have opted for an elective Caesarian this time, but as the moments tick by nerves begin to get the better of them.
