Diana is about to have her third child. She’s going to have a C-section. As she’s had this procedure before, she knows what to expect and isn’t too worried. Still, she asks her husband, Aleksey, to be there to support her. The couple recently lost their four-year-old son to a vicious virus. They are still grieving their loss, but say that they probably wouldn’t be having their third child had they not experienced that tragedy. It will be a surprise baby as doctors are unable to tell them definitively whether it’s a girl or a boy. The mystery will be revealed only after the baby’s born.

In her maternity ward, Diana has made friends with Svetlana, who’s expecting her second child, a girl. Svetlana is hoping to avoid a C-section and give birth naturally. Her husband’s name is also Aleksey and he will also be present at the birth. Svetlana’s counting on his support. Her first time giving birth turned out to be traumatic for her baby and she’s now nervous of another bad experience. Despite the doctors’ concerns about Aleksey’s wellbeing, he is determined to stay by his wife’s side as his child comes into the world.

Darima is looking forward to giving birth but as it will be her first time, she is blissfully unaware of how hard it can be. Nevertheless, she still thinks she’d like some support in the delivery room and asks her mother to be with her for the birth. Reluctantly, the mother agrees and proves an invaluable helper, she has both experience and seems to be a naturally gifted psychologist.

Darima’s neighbour in the maternity hospital is Albina, who is expecting her second daughter. Because she remembers her first childbirth, she’s much more nervous than Darima. Sadly, Albina will have no one to lean on during her labour, her husband has to stay home to look after their first daughter. Darima offers a brilliant solution, if they could synchronise their birthing, Darima’s mother could attend to them both!

Another concern for Albina is that she suffered postnatal depression after her first child and didn’t feel ready for another child quite so soon. Over the course of her pregnancy though she’s come to terms with how things are and feels much more positive about becoming a second-time mother.

Lana, is 35 and having her first baby, a boy who she hopes, will look just like his father. The love of Lana’s life was the first man she’d ever met with whom she really felt that she wanted to have a child. But this is no storybook romance, he is already married with a family of his own. Lana says she’s content with the situation but has no idea how she’ll cope on her own with a new born baby.

At the other end of the spectrum we meet Nina; she has confidence in her ideal family. Husband and son, Aleksey and Matvey can’t wait to meet the new addition to their family. Matvey is making predictions about when his little brother will be born. His timing is wide off the mark which can be forgiven, he’s only 5 and doesn’t quite have a medical degree yet! Aleksey wants to be there to support his wife during childbirth. It will be his first time in a delivery room but he’s sure he’ll cope. Nina is confident, that being a good mom is so much easier when there’s a good dad around. With her husband by her side, cracking jokes and providing massage, Nina is sure that her second childbirth will go much more easily than the first.

Kristina and her husband Andrey live and work together. They are colleagues and work as flight attendants. Kristina is about to give birth to their baby, and she wants Andrey to be by her side now as well. Unfortunately for him, he finds this prospect much more frightening than flying over the ocean or anything else he’s ever done in his life. He feels sure he’ll faint, but decides it’s his duty to support his wife. Then, as he plucks up the courage to join his wife in the delivery room, Kristina decides to spare him the experience. However, by now Andrey is determined to go through with it. Meanwhile, the doctors are making bets on whether or not he’ll manage.

Lyudmila’s husband, sadly, won’t be able to visit her in the maternity hospital, but her sister, Olga, is there to support her. Lyudmila is expecting twins. However, she and her husband decided to keep that secret from the rest of the family, so her sister has no idea she’s about to become an aunt twice. Lyudmila is hoping she’ll give birth naturally, however, with twins this option is much less likely.
