In the first episode, viewers will watch as Nottingham-based couple Syler and Mo cope with being first-time parents while living in Syler's mum's house, together with her father Tony and her grandad Pat.

The show also follows seasoned parents Helen and Nigel heading to the hospital to be induced and give birth to their fifth child. Old hands at labour, they pass the time doing a crossword as her contractions grow stronger.
