Overview
- The three-part series will stream on Disney+ from April 2 in the UK and Ireland, following the couple from conception through early parenthood.
- Sophie Habboo says she initially did not want the birth filmed, but an anaesthetist recorded it on her phone and the pair chose to keep the footage.
- Jamie Laing describes the show as a “true, real, raw” portrayal of pregnancy, stressing that scenes were not staged like on Made in Chelsea.
- Disney’s synopsis highlights medical worries, home renovations, strong family opinions, Jamie’s struggle to see himself as a dad, and Sophie weighing career goals against maternity leave.
- Coverage splits by emphasis, with The Hollywood Reporter detailing the premise, the Evening Standard foregrounding Laing’s pledge of authenticity, and tabloids focusing on the decision to include the birth scene.
