The BBC are looking for expectant mums, who are expecting triplets or more within the next few weeks? Or parents of triplets/quads over the age of 5.
Through the documentary we are hoping to chart the pregnancy and birth story of young parents-to-be expecting more than two babies, then showcase the ear-splitting first few weeks that follow when their babies are brought home. We also follow parents already with multiples – and the impact it has on them.
The couples we meet will be united by the fact that they are all in the throes of preparing and coping with the chaos that is multiple family life but their stories will diverge with the different challenges they face. From making ends meet to establishing a workable daily routine; handling harrowing health problems to dealing with sleep deprivation – we’ll be assessing the decisions they make and asking whether the seeds they sow with their clan today will be reaped – or rued – tomorrow?
To deliver the answers – along with a few cautionary tales – we’ll springboard into the lives of other multiple families further along in their parental and developmental journeys, to see exactly how the rubber meets the road. Through these unique case studies we’ll gain some privileged insights into how the survival tactics deployed by our rookie parents might come to bear one, five, even twenty-five years down the line.
If you are interested in taking part in this documentary please contact Claire Parry at the BBC on claire.parry@bbc.co.uk or 0117 974 6851.
