One Born Every Minute C4, 9pm

FROM the reception desk to the neo-natal ward, the operating theatre to the birthing pool, this new series observes the dramatic, emotional and often funny moments that go hand in hand with bringing a new life into the world, from the perspective of soon-to-be parents and family as well as hospital staff.

Tonight, 37-year-old Tracy is in labour with her fourth child. Accompanied by husband Steve, Tracy is calm and upbeat about her labour until the heart rate of her baby slows and the midwife needs to deliver her baby quickly. Suddenly the humour is gone, Tracy is exhausted and a serious Steve becomes the labour coach as the midwife races to get the baby out.
