The 14th season of Call the Midwife is coming to an end this Sunday, with an episode which will see a return for a character first introduced at the start of the season, pregnant teenager Paula.

In the finale it will be revealed that the father of Paula's child has left the area along with his parents, while Paula has been suffering from "low-down tummy aches".
In the clip, Stephen McGann's Dr Turner inspects Paula, who is played once again by Kitty Anderson, and comes to believe she has an infection in her bladder as well as anaemia.
He says she will have to stay at the maternity hospital - and Renee Bailey's Joyce reassures her that Sister Monica Joan can mind her hamsters.

Elsewhere in the season 14 finale, the synopsis for the episode says that "the challenges of midwifery hit close to home when a mother-and-baby home is evacuated".
Additionally, Nancy’s wedding plans will be seen taking a surprising turn, while Sister Catherine will take her first vows.
Last week's episode saw joy for Dr Turner and his wife Shelagh, as they finally were able to officially adopt May.
There were a number of bumps along the road heading towards that moment, but her biological mother Esther, who still lives in Hong Kong, finally completed the formal agreement for the adoption.
Thankfully, fans don't need to worry that this Call the Midwife will be the final ever episode of the show - it was renewed for a 15th season at the same time as its 14th, back in 2023.
Beyond that, the future is less certain - and creator Heidi Thomas has hinted that the series could take a break at some point.
The Call the Midwife season 14 finale airs on Sunday 2nd March on BBC One and iPlayer.
