Revisit some of the mischievous mums to be who have made major lifestyle changes after specialist midwives gave them alarming wake up calls.First up, Lisa visits Ceri-Anne who was smoking about ten cigarettes a day at seven months pregnant. Twelve weeks ago, she gave birth to a baby girl and continues to defy statistics by not taking up the habit after the birth. Lisa is stunned and overjoyed.Another graduate from the midwife tough love program is bar owner, Juliet. When we first met Juliet she was in the early days of pregnancy and working hard, using smoking and drinking to relax. Her stress levels were off the scale. Six months later, Juliet will soon give birth and her life has changed. "I like the new boring me. It's been difficult. I mean we've had ups and downs during the way, you know. The 'detox' in the beginning was difficult." For Zara, junk food is out and healthy nutritious meals are in. Although unrelated to Zara's previously unhealthy diet, daughter Neive was born with a hole in her heart and underwent life-saving surgery. Lisa is concerned about Zara having bonding issues with her baby so takes her to an infant massage class and witnesses an instant breakthrough.The arrival of baby girl Ava finally provides motivation for Amy and Andy to quit smoking for good. Lisa arrives to help guide them through quit day and is pleased when they make it through the first few days in their newly smoke-free home |
