Call the Midwife

The Sisters and midwives carry out many nursing duties across the community.

However, with between 80 and 100 babies being born each month in Poplar alone, the primary work is to help bring safe childbirth to women in the area and to look after their countless newborns.

The fifth series is set in 1961 and shows a patient with typhoid, the effects of thalidomide, the introduction of the contraceptive pill and the impact of strokes.
