  • Over the course of 10 weeks, TV Presenter Emma Willis will work as a Maternity Care Assistant supporting the charismatic midwife team on the busy maternity unit at UK’s Princess Alexandra Hospital in Essex...
    In Episode 2:
    Two weeks in to her role as a Maternity Care Assistant Emma has yet to see a natural birth in the hospital, but she’s hoping second time mother Carly will be her first. Five days later, Carly is still waiting to give birth.
    The midwife team decide to break Carly’s waters to bring on labour, a risky procedure given she suffers from gestational diabetes and there is a large amount of fluid around her baby as a result.
    During her time at the hospital Emma will be trained in various different aspects of the job and this week she’s learning how to measure blood pressure manually. It sounds easy, but it’s anything but and Emma has her work cut out to pass the test.
    Emma meets second time mother Lianne and her husband Ashley while doing her rounds. Lianne is expecting twins, but despite only being 34 weeks pregnant she’s already experiencing contractions. In the early hours of the morning there is a change in Lianne’s condition. Her waters have broken and she’s rushed into theatre…
    Victoria and her partner Jon arrive at the hospital and within an hour, Victoria is in labor. The birth progresses much quicker than anticipated and midwife Charlotte must draw on all her experience to ensure the baby is delivered safely.

    The midwife with the funky hair due is such a thoughtful kind midwife. I think she lost her hair and painted her head black.

      Someone speculated on Reddit that it may have been some sort of burn injury causing loss and she chose to paint/have it tattooed black afterwards. You can’t wear wigs as a nurse/doctor typically so I wonder if that’s why. She’s a total sweetheart and her Instagram is so lovely to follow, she answers fans frequently and will elaborate on parts of the show 🥺💛

    *I admire ALL women who can give birth naturally...sincerely. 🙏🏻 However, I did receive an epidural and LOVED that it allowed me to visit with my Grandmother, Mother and Mother-in-Law. It’s been 20 years and the day I gave birth is one of my most precious memories... all 3 women have since passed and that day will remain a truly golden moment and memory.* ❤️

      Heather, that is absolutely precious .No matter what way you bring a child into this world is still amazing . Everyone is different and because you had a epidural doesn't make you less brave then other woman. You still are amazing for giving life to another human . Nothing can replace that time with dear ones who are no longer here . You gave a huge gift to this world and to your family

    As an RN watching with a medical eye, I was concerned at how it was taught to take a BP. Emma's legs were crossed and her arm was not supported at heart level. When she took her trainers BP, same thing with no arm support. And Emma used her thumb to hold down the stethoscope on the trainers arm. It's amazing how many do not take three times to take a proper BP. And, yes, that can adversely affect your reading.

    the mother asking her partner if he was relieved as a way to gauge if she should feel like the situation with twin 1 was actually okay was so sweet to me. i love the gesture and not only does it show that she acknowledges her partner had to have been just as alarmed as she was, but shows how much she trusts him

    I love this show. I love labor and delivery. I would love to move to the UK and be a midwife if I didn’t have Crohn’s disease and a kid. I think the UK approach is so much better than here in the US. So much more compassion and all for natural delivery. Not like the US. Rush you in rush you to deliver push csections. They don’t care about moms here or mothers of color. Postpartum and fetal mortality rate is so high here. Birth should be beautiful and how moms want it and advocate for all moms and their health before during and after. It’s not a priority here. I shouldn’t have listened with headphones. 🤣😂🤣 I’m fascinated with UK birthing shows. Thanks for posting I wish people wouldn’t judge others on their appearances or how these women birth. It’s a tough and scary part of motherhood and these midwives go above and beyond and tired and overworked but continue to give moms a great experience.

      I was wondering what was on her head. I’m sure there is a reason for it, and it is natural to question when things look different than what one is used to. I never thought about a tattoo, I just wondered if she used a ton of hair products to get her hair to appear glued down. Hmmm... I like the tattoo idea, but MAN!!! That had to HURT!!!!

    All her screaming was like wow. I have givin birth twice and didn't scream because I was told that it makes it longer and takes away from pushing. Internalizing the scream and using that energy will be much better than screaming. I'll bet she gave everyone a fright especially first time mom's.

      What are you referring to the show or what Emma is doing? No US insurance company is going to allow a hospital to have just any untrained individual caring and being involved with these situations, which is so absolutely sad. Personally I think if they did allow it they might have more people interested in becoming midwives. Just like Val said as to what her sister thought her duties were going to be, if you think about it those things would be close to all a patient care assistant would do in the states. As for the show there is One born every minute in the states.

    Personally, I have never found screaming to be helpful while in labor. I have had two natural births and for me moaning and groaning is better. Screaming tightens the body and actually hinders progress while moaning helps relax the body so that each contraction works to its best potential.

      cynthia g yes, thanks. It’s easy to say “don’t scream. It’s not helpful,” but when I was going through it I had about as much control with the screaming as I did with the pushing. If the midwife had said, “Don’t push,” it would have been totally useless. It was an animalistic urge and there was no earthly thing that could have stopped me. I know every woman is different. Watching these episodes makes me amazed at how much control some women have during labor. I had absolutely zero.

      Danielle Mills Kinda hard to only make a pinhole when the sack is buldging and under pressure. Not all women have a large gush of fluid it depends on how much fluid is around the baby and the baby’s position as it goes down in the pelvic area to come out. A baby with a larger head can act like a stopper. My nephew was that way and when his body came out it was a huge gush of fluid and the doctor got soaked.
