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 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.
