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 teenager is shocked to find out she is 24 weeks pregnant, a proud Dad to be is eager for his fist born to be a boy so he can pass on the Greek family name he is so proud of and a self-confessed unlucky couple hope that a much-longed-for baby will turn their fortunes around. Teenage couple Elisha (17) and Dylan (19) didn’t even realise they were expecting until Elisha was 6 months pregnant. Once they got over the shock themselves, they then had to pass the news on to Elisha’s mum, Donna. Despite the shock Donna is determined to be her daughter’s birth partner – “I can’t believe my baby is having a baby” and is ready to stand alongside Dylan right by Elisha’s side through an emotional birth. Gemma (30) and proud Greek Kosta (30) are caught in a clash of cultures over their first baby. Gemma wants to name the baby after her Mum,while Kosta is hoping for a boy so the Greek tradition of naming the boy after his father can continue the family name into a 5th generation. Gemma fully understands "Kosta's worried that his family name will die with him". But the focus on the baby's sex takes a back seat when the birth has to be accelerated after an alarming change to the baby's heartbeat. Jenny (30) and husband Chris (30) have been through the mill in their quest to start a family. "They just said sometimes two human bodies just aren't compatible....you're not chemically matched". The unlucky couple expect the worst to happen after 7 long years of trying for a baby, which combined with Jenny's fear of being jinxed means she hits rock bottom while trying to deliver the baby.
