I'm Pregnant with Their Baby

BBC1

Producer / Director: Gillian Pachter
Executive Producer: Jess Fowle

I'm Pregnant with Their Baby tells the story of three young women who have each decided to give a childless couple the ultimate gift - a baby of their own.

Twenty-two year old Louise has her hands full with her own son, but she's determined to become pregnant for a couple who've wanted a baby for 13 years.

Twenty-three year old Lyndsay has been so moved by a stranger's struggle with cancer that she’s decided to carry a baby for her.

At just twenty, Shannon's too young to be a surrogate in the UK, but in two weeks she'll be 21, and she is already on the hunt for her ideal couple.

Louise, Lyndsay and Shannon are among a small number of very young women who are signing up to be surrogate mums for couples they've only just met. But, as they discover, the reality of giving someone a baby isn’t exactly as they imagined it might be.
