In this episode, two mothers of young sons are looking forward to giving birth to baby daughters who will complete their families.
31-year-old Natalya is mentally preparing to have a C-section. She has already had the procedure once and it went well. Still, reading a list of possible complications makes her nervous. She’d prefer to give birth naturally and hopes her husband will convince the doctors not to operate. He, on the other hand, thinks it best to follow the experts’ advice. Only time will tell, and she will make the ultimate decision to sign the release form.
Meanwhile, 33-year-old Irina is also expecting a second child. She’s planning to give birth naturally, just as she did before. Her first labour was quick and easy and she is confident her second childbirth will be even less trouble. Nevertheless, she enlists the help of her husband, Alexey, who will be present during the childbirth to give her moral support.
Where do Russians come from? In modern Russia, life usually begins at state-run maternity hospitals; it is up to these medical establishments to deliver new babies into the world. RTd takes you inside the delivery room, where you'll meet expectant mothers, nervous fathers, and the men and women whose task it is to perform deliveries and face any challenges that stand in the way.
