In the Club

Four women attend the Parentcraft ante-natal clinic run by midwife Vicky, herself pregnant. Half of an arranged marriage first time mother Yasmin is slightly irritated by loved-up husband Dev's over-attentive attitude. Businesswoman Roanna Wilson is in dispute with ex-husband Ray over their divorce settlement but happy with much younger lover and baby's father Simon whilst teaching assistant Kim Hall lives with her partner Susie and Susie's recalcitrant son Jude, Susie's ex-husband Neil being Kim's sperm donor though he also seems to want a relationship with her. Following two miscarriages, leading to her adopting, Diane Manning is thrilled when her scan reveals twins but shocked to find that unemployed husband Rick, in desperation, has robbed a bank and been forced to run. Schoolgirl Rosie Hutchinson, one of Kim's pupils, tries to keep her pregnancy secret from her father but has to dash to the clinic when her waters break with Vicky and Kim delivering her baby daughter.

With her husband on the run from the police, Diane struggles to cope. Upset and alone, she turns to Roanna for support.

Jasmin has an unwelcome visitor, and with a question mark looming over her due date, her blood pressure is on the rise.

With Kim, Rosie and baby Dinah staying at Neil's flat, Kim and Neil struggle to ignore their feelings for each other.

Jasmin is furious as Dr Bellingham induces her labour early, and her paternity worries may be answered once and for all.

A twinge in Vicky's abdomen causes panic and her Parentcraft friends think she's in labour. But all is not as it seems.
