The Rotunda is going to be an emotional rollercoaster tonight

Melissa Carton

Have you been keeping up with it?

Popular reality series The Rotunda returned to our screens last week and we’re already hooked.

The second series features the stories of over 30 new expectant parents, including Lorraine, who is pregnant with her second child.

Lorraine is no stranger to hospitals due to the discovery when she was nine-years-old that her kidneys hadn’t grown since birth. Doctors couldn’t believe she was alive despite being undiagnosed.

Lorraine spent some time on dialysis before getting a transplant at age 10. Transplants usually have a life-span of 10 years but Lorraine has hers for 24.

If that wasn’t already enough of an emotional roller coaster for us, we will also meet Samantha and Anthony who are expecting twins.

Parents Samantha and Anto have come to the Rotunda for radical laser treatment in an effort to save the lives of their unborn twins.

In the Delivery Ward, expectant mum Kayleigh is hoping she will break the family tradition of always having C-section deliveries, while Zosia is determined to have as little intervention as possible in the birth of her first baby.

Don’t miss any of these amazing stories as The Rotunda continues tonight at 9.35 pm on RTÉ2.
