In bed 7 at Romford's Queen's Hospital, 30-year-old Iona and her husband are being looked after, as her waters have broken. Iona was scheduled for a C-Section first thing the next day because her baby is in a breached position, but since her waters have broken and her contractions have started, she will need to have an emergency C-section.

Over at the A&E department in Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary, 38-year-old Joanne has been rushed into hospital by an ambulance, having been involved in a car crash where she swerved to avoid a ladder that flew off the roof of a van in front of her. The assessment suites are all occupied, so paramedics transfer her to A&E bed 9 in the corridor - doctors are worried that she may have seriously injured her back. Her dad Brian was a passenger in the car and is being brought into A&E in a separate ambulance, and Joanne is concerned that he was thrown into the windscreen on impact and might be seriously injured.
