Alyssa Hodges always wanted to be a mum, just not at 19 years old. Then 17 weeks into her pregnancy, her partner left.

Overwhelmed and grieving, dating was the last thing on her mind. But a friend suggested she give Tinder a go, as it would be even harder to date once the baby arrived.

She didn't expect to meet and start falling for Max Silvy. And she definitely didn't expect to go into labour when they were meant to be having their fourth date.

I’m just a girl, standing in front of your media player, asking you to join us for our new season of Days Like These on Feb 14 — where we’re celebrating love. We’ve got a story about a fourth date that ends in a trip to the hospital.

Another one about finding out who you are and then finding love; learning to love your inner clown; guinea pig love (yes, you read that correctly); and a story about trams. Trust me, you’ll love it.
