Don't Look Back

As I watched the opening song for this episode I realized I've been missspelling (and mispronouncing) Dr. Bong's name--it is actually Dr. Bohn! From here out I will use her name correctly.

Second-time mom Irene (32-years-old) had a previous complicated pregnancy because of a parasitic twin who was not alive, but the live baby wasn't growing properly because of the other one. She had billary atresia and surgery to clear blocked bile ducts. Following this she had many more nearly fatal complications. "You go through life taking things for granted assuming that you're going to have healthy kids," she says. Her daughter will always have this condition and will need a liver transplant at some point in the future. Irene makes sure to stay informed on it. "Irene is an internet doctor...The doctors sometimes confuse her for being in the medical field" says her husband. This is her way of controlling it, explains Irene. She was hoping to avoid a C-section with this one, but she'll have to have one in the best interests of the baby. "Hi, welcome to the world!" says Dr. Hill as she welcomes baby Sophia.

Second-time mom Inga (37-year-old) is a divorced single-mom who never wanted anymore kids. But then she met someone and now they are pregnant. "I felt like the best gift I could give her was a sibling," says Inga of her 7-year-old daughter. Her boyfriend explains the plight of the men in pregnant, "We don't have any control and you just feel, 'I did this to you and I'm really a bad person cause I put you through this.'" She's at home and her contractions are 2-4 minutes apart so she heads to the hospital earlier than planned. They're on their way to the hospital during rush hour in LA. "Sterling, if I have this baby in the car and gonna just kill you!" An hour later they make it to the hospital. Her 7-year-old daughter is crying watching her mom in labor. Baby Isley is born after a C-section!

First-time mom-to-be 29-year-old Michelle and her husband have always wanted kids. She is a fourth-year medical student right now. "The best part about being pregnant is feeling him move. It's amazing!" she says. Because she knows so much about these things they often make her more nervous and anxious about things that could go wrong. She's going into OB/GYN and is currently applying for school. "If you love it, it doesn't feel like a job really," says Dr. Park when Michelle questions her about having gone into OB/GYN. Dr. Hill texted Dr. Bohn to see if she wanted to deliver Michelle and she goes in even though she's not on call because she wants to deliver her. Baby Nicholas is born!

Dr. Bohn finds out she is pregnant! Both her and her husband are very nervous and cautious about it because of "what happened before." I'm not sure what this was but I would assume a miscarriage. In this episode they show the doctors just hanging out with one another and "just being moms for a day" letting their kids play together. They discuss Dr. Bohn's pregnancy and have good news about it. Dr. Hill says she's "cautiously optimistic" for Dr. Bohn. The doctors describe the show. "We're like a lot of OB practices except for one thing: we decided to let a TV crew follow us around." They say they are the same as they are if there were no camera--"It really is reality," says Dr. Hill.
