Episode 1
Caitlin and Emma try to help other people start a family. David looks for a surrogate.
In this episode, we meet Caitlin and her boss Kate. Caitlin is 26, a single mum, and in a new relationship with her boyfriend Jordan. Kate and her partner Matt have lost three pregnancies, including one at 32 weeks. Kate has been told that medically she could carry her own baby, but after such difficult experiences, she doesn鈥檛 feel able to. After talking about surrogacy in the office, Caitlin offered to help Kate and Matt have a baby. Kate and Caitlin live in Alderney, in the Channel Islands, and in this programme they fly to Southampton to have Kate and Matt鈥檚 embryo transferred to Caitlin鈥檚 womb, in the hope it will work and Caitlin will get pregnant.
Meanwhile, 23-year-old Emma is pregnant with the baby of a gay couple she met on a fertility matching app just a few months earlier. As the biological mother, it begs the question: will she become more attached as her bump grows? And will letting go of the baby be more difficult than she thought at first it would?
We also meet David, 40, who is a single gay man hoping to have a child through surrogacy. David has made embryos using anonymous donor eggs and joins a surrogacy organisation in the hopes of meeting a woman who will carry his child. But in most surrogacy agencies, intended parents aren鈥檛 allowed to ask a woman to be their surrogate, and so David has to go to events and wait to be picked by someone. How will he navigate this, and will he successfully attract the right woman?
