Three for the road: Andy and Angie [text removed] with Raphaella, Michael and Kristina in the new series Maternity

Maternity 9.00pm BBC2
Filmed at University College obstetric hospital, London, over the course of a year, this five-part documentary series takes us through all possible emotions about birth. The first programme is introduced as a "story of surprises about three women who unexpectedly become pregnant under very different circumstances".
With the help of IVF treatment, one is expecting triplets; another had a difficult pregnancy, a difficult delivery and had to have a hysterectomy immediately after the birth; the third is in her twenties and had been told she would probably never have children but, after a brief relationship, discovers she is pregnant. Not only are the stories different but so are the three women. One thing they do have in common, however, is their willingness to share what is an extremely personal experience - including, in one case, the actual and bloody moment of birth.
