Emma meets Lucy who's having an elective section and Sara and Jake, first timers whose labour goes from low to high risk. Emma also meets Beth and her partner of Chloe. Beth's birth goes to plan but she haemorrhages giving birth to the placenta, testing the team.

For the first time, Emma goes to work on the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, looking after the hospital's smallest and most vulnerable patients. On the ante-natal ward, Emma meets pregnant mums Tamie, who has gestational diabetes, and Victoria, who has preeclampsia.
