ONE BORN EVERY MINUTE, Channel 4's Bafta-winning documentary series, was the critical and popular smash-hit of 2010. And in February 2011, we'll be back on the maternity ward for twelve brand-new, thrilling episodes.

In this wonderful new book, midwives Maria Dore and Ros Bradbury look back over their careers and reveal the extraordinary experiences that fill every their working day - from first-time mums with unusual birth plans to overwhelmed dads who end up on the delivery room floor. And, of course, the beautiful babies who make it all worthwhile. Maria explains, 'To be part of anyone's birth experience is just the best. You never quite get over that miracle.'
