Belfast Midwives

The work of the team at the award-winning Royal Jubilee Maternity Service in Northern Ireland. Midwife Deirbhile supports mum Sindhura and her husband Harish, who have moved from India where they had their first child. However, this is the first time Harish will be allowed to attend the birth of his baby. Nikita and James arrive for an elective C-section, having previously lost a baby at 24 weeks. To make matters worse, James is squeamish and prone to fainting. Will he make it through the birth to cut the umbilical cord?

Natalie goes into a long labour with her second child, this one conceived through IVF, but her and partner Eddie struggle as the labour covers the day and night shifts of midwives Suzanne and Janet. Azza has to be induced but while husband Adam is working away from home in Cork a turn in the health of mum and baby calls for an emergency C-section. Midwife Alex supports Stacey through a very emotional labour.

Angela and Scott met just a year ago and now they're having a baby. Farmers Louise and Colin are expecting twins. But Louise's pregnancy is proving far from straightforward.

Fatima has symptoms of pre-eclampsia. The team decide she needs to be induced. And first-time parents Louise and Darragh's dream of a water-birth doesn't go to plan.

Having fainted in labour, Laura's moved to a specialist ward. Esther and Abed prepare for a planned C-section - and this time Abed is determined not miss the birth.
