A team of no-nonsense midwives take badly behaved, binge drinking, chain-smoking, over-eating pregnant women who haven't grasped the fact that they are about to be mothers and whip them into shape. The midwives hope to transform the mums' behaviour and hopefully reverse the dangers currently posed to their baby's life.
In each episode, three pregnant women are given a final chance to sort their lives out. They are confronted by the midwives who act as a shock wake-up call. New technology enables them to see instantly the damage they are doing to their unborn children. Starts Wednesday, 4 January, 8.30pm, ABC2.
