Overview edit
The series follows a couple through the late days of their pregnancy, sometimes presenting a baby shower, last family outing, or dinner party. Then, it always shows the family getting ready to go to the hospital, birth center, or preparing for a home birth. It films the labor and birth, which is shown in the series. At the end, the family talks about life after the newborn and offers the baby a few weeks after birth. The couple then spends some time playing with their child before the episode ends.
Storyline edit
According to the producers of the series, the intent was to include a happy ending at the end of every episode.[1][2]
Return edit
In 2016, TLC revived the show by livestreaming a childbirth via Facebook.[3]
