One Born Every Minute: Real Stories from the Delivery Room - Softcover

'You never quite get over that miracle ...' How does it feel to witness the arrival of a beautiful new baby, every day of your working life? And what is it really like to play such a vital role in these most intimate and life-changing moments? Midwives Maria Dore and Ros Bradbury, stars of the Bafta-winning Channel 4 series One Born Every Minute, share here their most extraordinary memories from the maternity ward. From first-time mums with unusual birth plans, to overwhelmed dads who end up on the delivery room floor. From the heartbreaking cases which stay with you long after the shift is over, to the tears of joy and relief when a long-for new life makes its first, bawling appearance. Maria and Ros have seen it all, and for them - and for all their colleagues - it is a privilege they never take for granted. Praise for Channel 4's One Born Every Minute 'Television at its best. I have shed many tears over this brilliant, emotional, reality series - eight hours of the very purest drama.' Guardian
