Alex Jones narrates a series that follows Welsh families expecting a baby. The parents and babies spend time enjoying the first few blissful weeks at home.

Alex Jones narrates a series following seven Welsh families from birth onwards, gaining unique access to family life, with cameras going behind closed doors to reveal what really goes on when new parents bring home their baby. A team of experts is on hand to explain and comment on events as the weeks and months roll by, providing insights into the babies' development, as well as keeping track of the parents' health, wellbeing and mental state.

The second episode follows the parents and babies as they spend time enjoying their 'babymoon' - the first few blissful weeks at home with a baby. Newport couple Sara and Ryan are passionate about travel, amateur dramatics and weekends away. They believe that having a baby will not change the way they live their lives and are determined to do everything they did before - but just with a baby in tow. However, baby Holly has her own ideas about how this new family are going to run things and is about to burst mum and dad's baby bubble. In Cardiff, Tristan and Katie are expecting twins - but their snug, city-centre flat is not fit for two new babies as space is at a premium, with much of their storage space currently taken up with Tristan's extensive Star Wars collection. Meanwhile, in Ammanford, Kathryn and Richard are back at home with daughter Sienna, and things are not getting any easier. Kathryn finds breastfeeding hard and both she and her husband are finding it difficult adjusting to life as parents. Sam and Rob gave birth to triplets in the last episode - but they have still not been allowed home from hospital. Daughters Flora, Alice and Ella, were born prematurely, but even though they are now out of the neonatal intensive care unit, their new mum and dad have to prove that they can handle the three newborns before they are able to leave. A trial run - a night on the ward where they can practice looking after their three babies - shows just how hard it is going to be to bring up three infants on their own.
