After years of failed attempts to get pregnant, Caroline and Chris finally hit the jackpot with triplets. But their three baby boys were left fighting for life after being born 11 weeks premature. Two years on it's the 'terrible twos' times three when the boys' first haircut together ends in tears - from Mum.
Kate and Nick's experience of parenthood has been very different to what they had envisaged. They gave birth to a healthy baby boy called Jake but at just two weeks old he fell ill with GBS meningitis.
Jake survived the infection but it left him with a complex physical disability and in need of constant care. Now that he's nearly two, the couple treasure each of Jake's milestones. When he turns the page of a book for the first time, Kate's joy is overwhelming.
And when lesbian couple Becky and Annie decided they wanted children, they 'bulk bought' sperm using an anonymous donor. Annie carried their first baby and Becky gave birth to their second. When their oldest comes home from school with a Father's Day card, Mum and Mummy have some awkward questions to answer.
