The Secret Midwife reveals the highs & lows on the frontline of the maternity unit, from the mother who tries to give herself a DIY caesarean to the baby born into witness protection...

And from surprise infants that arrive down toilets to ones that turn up in the lift.

But there is a problem; the system which is supposed to support the midwives & the women they care for is starting to crumble.

Short-staffed, over worked & underappreciated
- these crippling conditions are taking their toll on the dedicated staff doing their utmost to uphold our National Health Service, & the consequences are very serious indeed.
