Professor Thilaganathan provides pioneering care to Ann-Marie's twins, who are at risk of dying, and Becky's unborn baby, who has a rare lung tumour, and closely monitors Randika's pregnancy.
E2
Susie's triplets may have a life-threatening condition that urgently needs treatment. The surgeons also help a baby with fluid on the brain, and one with a foot tangled in the lining of the womb.
E3
An unborn baby has a large cyst on its neck that may prevent it from breathing on its own once born - requiring a procedure which has never been performed in the UK before. Other patients include a woman expecting twins who must choose whether to end the life of one foetus to save the other, and a 22-year-old woman who has become spontaneously pregnant with triplets and faces motherhood alone.
