Series 2, episode 5
Young couple Sophie and Daryl don’t know the sex of their unborn child but their choice of names is proving confusing for midwife Veronica. Mother of two Daniela is wondering if childbirth will be any easier this time around though it’s been 13 years since she had her last child. In theatre, Ciara is getting ready to welcome her second baby but is worried she may have a relapse of the post natal depression she had after the birth of her first child. Opera singer Ioana meanwhile is hoping the time spent at breastfeeding classes will be a help once her first baby is born.
