| Summary |
*Adult Themes*This week sees two new dads going on a crash course in maternity. Ashley, a squeamish boy-band wannabe, along with clumsy, big kid computer programmer Don are put through their paces by their midwives Judith and Liz. Empathy bellies are provided to help them understand what their partners are going through. The lads are instantly made 37 weeks' pregnant and must learn to deal with pregnancy for 24 hours. Don embraces the experiences, but how will self-conscious Ashley react? At home, Don and Georgia discuss how to better use Don's current 'boy's room'. Don agrees to redecorate, but not before compromising with Georgia so that the 'Daddy and Daughter' room is created.Ashley's fear of blood must be dealt with, so Judith gives him a taste of what's to come. Catherine and Ashley discover the baby is in the wrong position and that Catherine has a liver condition brought on by the pregnancy. This makes an unwanted c-section a real possibility.Whilst Ashley and Catherine are awaiting news on their birth, Georgia's contractions begin and Don is presented with the moment he has been preparing for. He takes control and times her contractions but will he be able to get his hands on his little one when push comes to shove? For Ashley and Don the big moment has arrived - how will they both cope? Have they learnt enough to be super dads in the delivery room?PRODUCTION DETAILS:A BBC Production. Series Producer: Lucy Shepherd. Executive Producers: Rachel Arnold and Elliot Reed |
