One Born Every Minute Season 4 Episode 1

Episode 1

One Born Every Minute returns for a brand new series, with cameras now recording life on two busy labour wards in Leeds: Leeds General Infirmary (LGI) and St James’s Hospital. Over the past year the LGI’s maternity ward has often had to close to new admissions, with expectant mums sent to St James’s across the city. Stacey is expecting her second child but it’s her first with her husband Lee. Stacey is desperate to give birth but every time she thinks she’s in labour, it turns out to be a false alarm and the hospital send her home. The to-ing and fro-ing gets frustrating for Lee who admits he had a troubled past until he met Stacey, who ‘saved him’. When Ramona last gave birth it was by an emergency C-section. This time, she wants to give birth naturally with her husband Marvin by her side, but when she goes into labour, Marvin is half-way down the M1. Meanwhile, the hospital is promoting ‘active birth’ and trainee yoga instructor Sara wholeheartedly embraces the idea. Sara endured a long induction during her last birth and this time round she’s determined to make the birth 100% natural, with her easy-going partner Billy by her side.
