After seven years trying and two failed rounds of IVF, 33-year-old Jo and 47-year-old Pat thought they would never have children, until a visit to a clairvoyant offered them hope. They arrive at Birmingham Women's Hospital to be induced, but discover that getting their baby out into the world is almost as troublesome as getting pregnant in the first place. April, who's 27, is having her third baby, with support from her little sister Chloe, who's 20. They fought like cat and dog when they shared a bedroom, but grew closer when April had children and Chloe stepped in to help. They hope that April's new baby and its siblings will have as close a bond as they now have.

After a string of failed relationships, Jess, who's 27, met perfect gentleman Leon, who's 33, on a bus. Leon's a drummer from a musical family, but doesn't yet have the rock 'n' roll lifestyle he dreams of. He has a teenage daughter from a previous relationship and it breaks his heart that he doesn't see her as often as he'd like, so he's looking forward to starting family life together with Jess. Sarah, who's 40, was desperate to become a mum, but couldn't find the right man to be a dad. Then 'fate' brought her and Tom, who's 29, together. The age gap didn't hold them back and the last five years have been a whirlwind.
