Episode 9

At the Liverpool Women's Hospital, it feels like the whole city has arrived at once to have their babies - the hospital faces a bed block crisis. Shift leader Sarah and the midwives have to juggle and prioritise to ensure everyone gets the care they need. Among those facing a wait is 34-year-old home care assistant Kristina, whose twins need to be delivered as quickly as possible and will need special care. She'll need to move to another hospital if space doesn't become available soon. Also on the wards are Amy, 25, and Dave, 28. They're expecting their first child together, but their Jehovah's Witness beliefs are tested when it becomes clear doctors will need to intervene in the birth. Jill, 21, and 24-year-old Dale are also having their first child together, though Jill had her first baby when she was 16. She feels more prepared this time round, and Dale wants to make the most of being a dad.
