Southmead Hospital rolls out the red carpet for a celebrity 'baby'...Baby Spice is coming in to support the maternity unit's charity and her arrival is causing quite a stir. Midwife Sacha in particular is giddy with excitement about meeting her idol, and brings in some treasured Spice Girl memorabilia to get signed. Meanwhile, life goes on in the hospital for three very different mums-to-be. One uses the length of her labour to try and save her relationship, another is driven to distraction by her mother's advice, while a couple who met on the internet wait for their first baby to arrive. When Tina, who's 21, met her partner Craig, who's 32, he advised her to stay away from him. But she was soon pregnant with her first child and then the cracks in their relationship started to show. Tina has been living with her mum ever since but still seeing Craig, and now they are expecting their second child. Tina must decide whether to let Craig into the delivery room and back into her life, or whether they should split up for good. Sarah has come into hospital with her mum Jane. Jane keeps leaving the room for a cigarette and a natter with the nurses and her constant chat is driving Sarah mad. 'She has to speak to everyone; she has to tell them her life story and my life story,' says Sarah. Sarah's labour progresses quickly and she phones around trying to get in touch with the person she does want at the birth: her husband Ben. But he's not answering his phone. After a string of unsuccessful dates, Catherine, who's 33, decided to give internet dating a go, and soon clicked with Phillip, who's 36. They had both ticked the box saying they wanted a family, and now they're at Southmead, eagerly waiting for their family life together to begin.
