She calls her midwife who tells her that if nothing changes very soon she needs to go to hospital.

Leela anxiously waits but when she still hasn’t felt the baby move she decides she’s going to head off to Dee Valley Hospital.

However, her hungover new hubby Joel is still dozing and not wanting to disturb him or alarm him, she makes the trip alone.

Once at the hospital, Leela is put on a foetal heart monitor.

However, her worry mounts when the initial results are unclear and she is referred to a consultant.

Are they going to be able to find the baby’s heartbeat?

Elsewhere, the fallout from Leela and Joel’s wedding continues when Joel’s ex, Cleo McQueen (Nadine Mulkerrin) has a heated argument with her controlling boyfriend, Abe Fielding (Tyler Conti).

How long is Cleo going to let Abe get away with his vile behaviour?

Or is she finally about to take a stand?
