In the Season 4 episode 11, viewers are given a fascinating insight into the experiences of three different couples, as they prepare to welcome their new arrivals into the world. The first couple we meet is Ellie and Dan, who are expecting their first child together. Ellie is a former gymnast who is keen to have as natural a birth as possible, while Dan is keen to support her every step of the way. As Ellie's labor progresses, tensions run high as she copes with the intense pain of contractions - but with the help of a support team of midwives, Ellie is determined to stick to her birth plan and have the delivery she's always dreamed of.

The second couple we meet is Rochelle and Jamie, who are preparing to welcome their third child into the world. Rochelle has had difficult pregnancies in the past, with complications including pre-eclampsia and gestational diabetes, and she's understandably nervous about what this birth will bring.

As Rochelle's labor progresses, the couple is faced with unexpected challenges, but they are determined to stay strong.

The final couple we meet is first-time parents Joe and Jemima, who are ecstatic about the impending arrival of their son. Jemima is young, with an infectious smile and a positive attitude, but as her labor begins, she is hit with difficult complications - the baby's head is in a difficult position, making delivery more challenging, and the umbilical cord is wrapped around his neck, posing a potential risk to his health.
