โฆ Synopsis
Welcome to Pinewood Hospital. Iโm here to take care of youโฆ
The bright yellow walls of the maternity ward are plastered with posters of perfect families. Surrounded by happy looking couples, Iโm painfully aware Iโm about to give birth all alone. As I stroke my bump, I canโt stop the tears from falling down my cheeks. But when my midwife Jackie introduces herself and holds my trembling hand, I know sheโs here to help. I instantly relax around her, even though I canโt shake the feeling weโve met beforeโฆ
As I sit in my small, rented bedsit that evening, my phone rings and Iโm shocked to hear Jackieโs voice. I donโt recall giving her my number, but I have been forgetful of late. When she invites me to an antenatal group, Iโm quick to make up an excuse, but she wonโt take no for an answer.
Jackie promised me there would be a big group, so why is there only one other nervous looking mother here? I catch Jackie studying my face when the woman asks me questions about my baby. Does Jackie know the secret Iโve been keeping?
As my due date approaches, I find myself turning to Jackie more and more. I even let her talk me into her delivering my baby at home. She says sheโs delivered hundreds of babies this way, and sheโll give me the birth I deserve.
My baby and I are in safe handsโฆ Arenโt we?
