There can be few jobs as challenging or as rewarding as delivering babies and a new documentary will shine a light on the work of midwives in Belfast.
Belfast Midwives follows the characterful team of midwives at the award-winning Royal Jubilee Maternity Service, one of Northern Ireland’s busiest maternity units delivering 5,000 babies every year.
All births are unique and unpredictable, and this emotional series captures the drama of a broad range of births and families welcoming a new baby into their lives.
