Ever wanted to know what life is really like on a Maternity Ward? Check out our new work for Channel 4 that launched this week. The site is a partner project to the new TV series, ‘One Born Every Minute’ that airs later this month and reveals the ins and outs of birth as it happens - no airbrushing, the real thing. The site covers a broad range of topics and issues through extensive video content and a number of fun, engaging content pieces. It has been an amazing project to work on, so we hope you enjoy it.
