Episode 4

TV Presenter Emma Willis is now past the halfway point in her job at Watford General Hospital. With time running out to get her Maternity Support Worker qualification, Emma seeks advice from mentor and Birthing Centre Manager, Jo, on how to accelerate her training. Emma admits that she often lacks confidence to excel at the jobs that'sshe's being asked to do. To boost her confidence and help her get more skills signed off, Jo takes her under her wing and arranges for Emma to carry out two critical tests on new-born babies. One test checks the oxygen saturation levels of a baby which can be an early indication of potential heart defects. And the other, a heel prick test, measures the glucose levels in a new-born. If left untreated, extremely low blood glucose levels, can lead to brain injury or problems with a baby's development. Emma takes an active role helping to support first time mum Aayushi, who comes in to be induced but ends up having a difficult six-day labour. And in the Delivery Suite, the tables are turned for senior midwife Bianca, who becomes a patient when she comes in to have her first baby.

TV presenter Emma Willis has just a few weeks left at Watford General Hospital to get her Maternity Support Worker (MSW) qualification. She confides in musician and actor husband Matt, that her plan is to try and finish her training by the end of week, but Emma's got a lot to do to hit this deadline. Emma needs to get her MSW qualification because her hospital bosses are expecting her to run an ante-natal clinic for expectant Mums completely on her own. She can't do this until she's completed and passed all her assessments and one of the biggest hurdles, she faces is getting her surgical skills signed off in theatre. To help her prepare for her clinic, MSW Project lead Oz, gets Emma to take the lead in a weekly pre-operative clinic where expectant mums are reviewed ahead of their planned caesarean sections. Here Emma is faced with two women who have hidden veins, which means taking their bloods for the crucial test they need before their operation becomes a big problem. And in theatre, it's the moment of truth for Emma in surgery when she's assessed during the caesarean of second time Mum Lizzie.
