More than 100 babies have been born on the award-winning One Born Every Minute.

Now the series visits three One Born couples as their babies approach their first birthday to see how they're responding to an even bigger challenge: parenthood.

As their babies grow, so does their unconditional love, but these mums and dads have come to realise that nothing could have prepared them for the sleepless nights, endless nappy changes and lack of sex.

The film paints a moving and often hilarious picture of modern parenting: a 'how to' - and at times, 'how not to' - guide to the first year.

Young mum Sarah says 'Giving birth is a walk in the park compared to bringing them up.'

Sarah and her partner Nando had a scare when baby Gino was rushed to intensive care barely 24 hours after he was born. Nearly a year later, Nando takes the baby to A&E for everything from trapped wind to teething.

When Sarah decides to go back to work, Nando finds himself looking after Gino on his own. Sarah knows it won't be easy for him.

Meanwhile, Dean was last seen punching the air and shouting 'come on, girl!' as his baby's head appeared.

But when he and his partner Julia returned home with their new son, they didn't realise that Dean would have a relapse of the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder he had when he was younger. And Julia is about to find out whether having a baby has damaged her weak heart.

And Lucy, last seen serenading hospital staff with a rendition of show-tune classics, is trying to find a balance between her life as a mum and her career as an opera singer.

Having had three kids in five years, she's gone from a glamorous life in the spotlight to being knee-deep in nappies, baby food and potty training.

But she feels it's time to get her old life back and, after a hard day with the kids at the zoo, finally confronts her husband.

And the last thing one of the couples is prepared for is finding out that they're expecting another baby within the year...
