Now it's not everyones cup of tea but many mothers are choosing to have the birth of their child filmed as part of a documentary being made at a hospital in Bristol.

The hugely popular One Born Every Minute is shooting its fifth series at Southmead Hospital and hoping to document some of the 6,000 births that take place there each year.

One mother was already a fan of the show and happy to take part. Baby Bethany is now five weeks old - but just over a month ago she was making her way into the world right in front of the "One Born Every Minute" cameras. Naomi Pocock says they were so discreet she wasn't even aware of them filming - although she did have other things on her mind at the time!
