One Born Every Minute

Episode 12 (4x12)

:

Dawn, who experienced a traumatic birth when her first child arrived in the last series of One Born Every Minute, returns to have a second baby, with the memories of her difficult time in the same Leeds operating theatre still fresh in her mind. Kirri, who’s 29, met 30-year-old Brendan when they were both working at Butlins. She says ‘all women have a plan’; hers was to get a job at Butlins in order to find a man. Nine years later she and Brendan are having their second child and are still very much in love. They have such a light-hearted approach to life that Kirri manages without pain relief and laughs her way through her contractions. Shannon, who’s 34 and from Detroit, fell in love with England as a teenager when she started reading biographies of The Beatles. When she met Chris, who’s 51 and from Doncaster, on the internet, her father – a Vietnam veteran and former marine – hired private detectives to check Chris out. Chris must have got the all-clear because they are now married and having their second child. But they’re worried that Chris may miss the birth because they don’t have any family nearby and have no one else to look after their 20-month-old daughter Celia while Mum is in labour.
