The first episode focuses on preparations for birth and the shock of the arrival of a new baby. Sam and Rob from Machen are expecting triplets and are stocking up with hundreds of nappies, wipes and other supplies. Most triplets are delivered premature, and theirs will be no exception. In Burry Port, Cathy and Andrew are counting on being among the three per cent of parents who have a homebirth. Kelle and Ali from Cardiff have a very lively household: two dogs and a cheeky four-year-old daughter Ayla. And Kathryn and Richard from Ammanford are a couple with a master plan, with all the elements of the pregnancy plotted with military precision.
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.

The 'babymoon' period is over, and the mums and dads have to get back to the real world. At the same time, the sleepless nights kick in and parenting becomes a whirl of emotions, hormones and constant demands. The programme meets single mother Emily from Brynmawr, who has breezed through the first few weeks of parenting. Her friends and family are full of praise for the job she's doing, but Emily is still nervous of being judged by other mums, and has not yet ventured far from home. However, she doesn't want Lillie to miss out on mixing with other babies and has signed up for a baby massage group. Burry Port's Cathy and Andrew had a homebirth, and as per their plan Cathy managed without any form of pain relief. But now the baby is here, they're finding there are some things they can't control. Older brother James's world has been turned upside as result of the new arrival, and he's no longer sleeping. The desperate parents call in a sleep consultant to try to calm things down, and she recommends a technique they hope will work. Sam and Rob from Machen have brought their triplets home, but they're struggling with the babycare. It takes two adults over an hour to feed the three little girls, and Sam is struggling to stay on top of it all.

In the final episode, the parents hit their stride but discover an important truth - once you have children you never stop worrying! Some of those worries - like vaccinations - are common to all of the families, while other mums and dads have their own particular fears which keep them awake at night. For Tristan and Katie, it's the news that one of their twins, baby Louis, has Down's Syndrome, but they are determined to make sure he has just the same fulfilling life as his little sister Roxie. Meanwhile, Kelle and Ali have an engagement party to plan, single parent Emily is bringing Lillie's dad into the fold and there's a romantic anniversary planned for triplet parents Sam and Rob from Machen. Finally in Newport, new dad Ryan makes one more attempt to resurrect his full-on pre-baby lifestyle by dressing the family up in 1940s clothing for a WWII re-enactment weekend. But for baby Holly and mum Sara it might be a step too far.
