Rachelle's pregnancy is heartbreaking for her Guatamalen-immigrant parents because they had big dreams for her, and both of her older sisters had gotten pregnant as teenagers. As a result of the pregnancy, Rachelle has moved in with Chase, and Rachelle feels that things have fallen apart ever since. Rachelle and Chase are still just getting to know each other, and Chase is very controlling. Rachelle has not seen any of her friends since she got pregnant. She is home alone all day with no social outlet and without seeing her family, and Chase has no sympathy for her situation. Rachelle tries to get some social connection renewed with her parents by meeting them for breakfast, but she walks out before it's over due to their pressuring her about her situation. Rachelle has her baby shower at 30 weeks, which goes very well other than the fact that out of all the people there, only two of them were her pre-pregnancy friends. At the 37 week point in the pregnancy, things take an ugly turn when Chase concludes during a 3D ultrasound that the fetus "doesn't look anything like" him, and he states about the baby that Rachelle "better hope that she comes out with blue eyes".

Episode Summary: Maddie is an 18-year-old from New Braunfels, Texas, who is pregnant by her boyfriend Korey. Maddie and her mother, Crystal, used to be best friends, but Maddie's relationship with Korey has driven a wedge between them. Korey and Crystal have butted heads since Day One of Maddie's and Korey's relationship, as Korey is on probation from drug charges and has cheated on Maddie in the past. The situation drove Maddie to move in with Korey and his mother in a one-bedroom apartment, and Maddie got pregnant there within a few weeks of moving in. The episode starts at the 34 week point in the pregnancy. Korey has lost his job due to a probation violation, which means they cannot afford a place of their own before the birth. At 37 weeks, the tension is particularly high because Crystal is planning a girls-only baby shower for Maddie, but Korey insists on attending, and his attendance creates an awkward situation for everyone. Due to Maddie's discomfort of coming home with a new baby with Korey's relatives all around, Korey moves in with Maddie and her mom, under the guise of Korey staying off drugs, helping with household chores, and getting a job immediately. At 39 weeks, Korey still has not found a job, and Crystal wonders how motivated he is to find one. Korey gets good news when his probation is dismissed. A first-time meeting of Korey's mother and Crystal is arranged at a local restaurant, and it goes better than expected, given the situation.

The first few days are good as Korey has gotten a job washing dishes, but things have since gone bad again between Korey and Crystal, with Maddie caught in the middle without the maturity to navigate the situation.

Both Camryn and Cam had lost their jobs due to the pandemic, but Camryn got her job back at the 34-week point in the pregnancy.

The episode is self-produced because the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions started when Kash was five months pregnant. The episode focuses on the intermittent nature of Kash's and Nate's romantic relationship, due to Nate's anger management issues. At the start of the episode, Nate has moved to California due to clashes with his family at his home in Arizona, but he moves back to Arizona at the 37-week mark in the pregnancy.

Episode Summary: Kali is a 15-year-old from La Porte, Indiana, who became pregnant by her 15-year-old boyfriend, Auston. They are both high school freshmen. As the episode begins, Auston has de facto moved in with Kali and her parents, to the mild consternation of Kali's parents. This leads to ongoing discussions between Kali's parents about when Auston will move back home with his grandparents, and Kali's being overly dependent on Auston. The episode unfolds showing the COVID-19 restrictions' effects on the pregnancy, such as reducing Kali's baby shower to a surprise drive-by event, and concern about Kali only being allowed to invite one person into the delivery room with her. The delivery room situation is eventually resolved by the OB making an exception because Kali is a minor, and both her mother and the baby's father being allowed in. Due to COVID-19 considerations, Kali's labor is induced a week before her due date. After 27 hours of labor, Bodhi Oliver is born healthy, June 6, 2020, at 6:07pm, 7 lbs 11 oz, 20 3/4" long. Two weeks after the birth, Kali has just recovered from an epidural puncture that happened during the birth. The issue left her effectively bedridden with really bad headaches since the birth and unable to bond with Bodhi, and she is also struggling with her loss of identity. Ten weeks after the birth, Auston is still living with Kali and her parents, and is fully engaged as a father. However, that is leading to a co-dependency problem between Kali and Auston, and he is flunking all of his classes as a sophomore in virtual schooling. Kali's father wants Auston to move back home with his grandparents to get Kali's and Auston's lives separately back on track, but Auston is hesitant because his mother abandoned him when he was 4 years old, and he doesn't want to do that to Bodhi. As Auston leverages to spend time at his home with his grandparents, Kali is resistant and her dependency on him leads to a showdown. The episode ends as Bodhi turns six months old and Auston moves back home with Kali beginning to parent on her own. | |||||
