Overview

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 pops up the family getting ready to go to the hospital, birth center, or prepare for a homebirth. 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 plays with their child for a little before the series ends.

Storyline

According to the producers of the series, the intent was to include a happy ending at the end of every episode.[1][2]

Return

In 2016, TLC revived the show by livestreaming a childbirth via Facebook.[3]
