Emma Willis: Delivering Babies
Emma experiences the training process on a maternity ward, working four shifts a week, to discover what makes it one of the toughest, but most rewarding careers possible.
Emma meets second time mum Lianne who is expecting twins, but complications mean they might be delivered prematurely. Carly is kept waiting by her second baby.
Emma shocks everyone and takes a turn for the worse while observing a procedure in theatre. She seeks advice from her mum, Cathy. Emma meets Michelle, who is 33 weeks pregnant, but suffering with heavy bleeding.
Emma receives bereavement training, a topic she has not been looking forward to. Tara suffers a cord prolapse while in labour, a high risk situation that puts her unborn baby in immediate danger.
Emma is on the labour ward, a consultant-led maternity unit for higher-risk mums-to-be. Forty-one-year-old Nicola and her husband Gavin are her first patients of the day.
After 10 weeks, Emma's time as a Maternity Care Assistant comes to an emotional end. Katherine's hopes of a natural birth are over once she's rushed in to theatre.
