'The Real Birth Show - Premature Births'
(Channel 4, 8.30 to 9pm)
Each year in Britain 40,000 babies are born prematurely, a rate which has remained the same for more than 50 years. This programme features two expectant mothers with histories of premature births. Melanie previously lost a daughter born prematurely, and this time round she nearly loses her baby at 19 weeks and again at 29 weeks. Mary lost her daughter when she was 22 weeks pregnant and no-one seems to know why, so this time she is taking part in a hospital test to examine the reasons for premature birth. The programme is presented by Zoe Ball.
