โœฆ Synopsis


Welcome to Pinewood Hospital. Iโ€™m here to take care of youโ€ฆ

The bright yellow walls of the maternity ward are plastered with posters of perfect families. Surrounded by happy looking couples, Iโ€™m painfully aware Iโ€™m about to give birth all alone. As I stroke my bump, I canโ€™t stop the tears from falling down my cheeks. But when my midwife Jackie introduces herself and holds my trembling hand, I know sheโ€™s here to help. I instantly relax around her, even though I canโ€™t shake the feeling weโ€™ve met beforeโ€ฆ

As I sit in my small, rented bedsit that evening, my phone rings and Iโ€™m shocked to hear Jackieโ€™s voice. I donโ€™t recall giving her my number, but I have been forgetful of late. When she invites me to an antenatal group, Iโ€™m quick to make up an excuse, but she wonโ€™t 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 Iโ€™ve 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 sheโ€™s delivered hundreds of babies this way, and sheโ€™ll give me the birth I deserve.

My baby and I are in safe handsโ€ฆ Arenโ€™t we?
