One Born Every Minute

After eight years away, One Born Every Minute returns to E4 for a powerful new series, filmed at Manchester’s Saint Mary’s Maternity Unit .

Set in the heart of one of Britain’s most diverse cities, the series follows expectant parents and the dedicated midwives, doctors, and wider maternity teams supporting them through some of the most important moments of their lives.

From straightforward, midwife-led deliveries to complex pregnancies and births requiring specialist care, every story is unique. The series offers an intimate, honest, and emotional window into modern maternity services, reflecting the realities of giving birth today.

With unprecedented access to Saint Mary’s, viewers will experience the anticipation, joy, fear, uncertainty, and extraordinary moments surrounding new life. At its heart are the families and the professionals who care for them, revealing that no two births, and no two journeys to parenthood, are ever the same.
