Series 1: Episode 2

Caitlin is now pregnant with her boss Kate’s baby, and they try to navigate the complex relationship between a surrogate and an intended parent while working together every day. Caitlin’s boyfriend, Jordan, tries to get used to his girlfriend being pregnant with someone else’s child, and when cracks show in the relationship, Kate worries for the health of the baby.\n\nSingle man David and his surrogate Lauren end their relationship. He then meets first-time surrogate Faye and her husband Lee. Lee was astounded when he first heard that his wife wanted to be a surrogate, but will David’s determination and charm help ease Lee’s fears? Faye needs to have a check up to see if she can carry a child, and she takes an awkward and anxious David with her into the examination room.\n\nWe also meet Maddie, a 29-year-old single mum of two, who connected with married gay couple Alex and Richard at a surrogacy event. Unlike Caitlin, Maddie is a straight surrogate, meaning she is trying to get pregnant through home inseminations with Rich’s sperm. As the trio only met a few months ago, navigating this extremely intimate process could turn out to be physically and socially awkward.
