The series takes a look at three births that have gone wrong, leaving the babies suffering from a lack of oxygen.

A mother who has been seperated from her husband since she was 18 weeks pregnant with her sixth child is featured. She contracted swine flu whilst pregnant at 20 weeks and was put on a life-support machine. She managed to survive but the baby came early, weighing just 1lb 6oz.

A young couple could have to pay a £175,000 bill for their son's care in the neonatal unit. The couple from Kuwait, were on holiday visiting family in Liverpool when the woman gave birth at 25 weeks.
