[continues groaning]
– [Sean] Hold still.
Yeah.
[Martha] God!
It’s like a pushing kinda noise. Are you feeling like you wanna push?
– I need to push.
Okay. Let’s get you out of the bath.
Okay.
– [Martha] Is that blood there?
[Sean] Okay, come on.
[Eva] It’s okay. It’s just a little bit. It’s totally okay.
Here we go. Come on. Let’s go into the bedroom.
[Martha] Push now, or…
[Eva] Nope, you can’t push now. You just wait. I need to do a little bit…
I need to check your dilation before you push, okay?
Just…
Yeah. Yeah.
[Sean] Lift up. There you go.
– [Martha] Ow, ow.
[Eva] Ooh, okay.
Too fat.
[Eva] Okay.
[Martha crying out]
– [Eva] Okay, Martha?
Yeah?
[Eva] I’m just gonna check your cervix and see where you’re at, okay?
[Martha] Ow! Ow…
I know, I know. Sorry, babe. I feel the baby’s head.
– [Martha] You do? She’s coming!
I don’t feel any cervix.
[Martha] Come on, baby.
– I think you’re wide open.
Easy for you, motherf***er.
– [Eva] Hey, Martha.
Yeah?
[Eva] Now, if you feel like it, you can push.
When it comes, you can push, okay?
Just give me two secs.
Oh, my God!
[Eva] Yeah. Yeah? Hey.
[groaning loudly]
[Eva] Attagirl.
Attagirl. Attagirl.
Oh, it’s so good. Okay.
– Good!
[Sean] Good. Good.
[Eva] Okay, okay.
Attagirl. That’s great.
Just like that. You’re a pro!
Doing so great.
I’m just gonna have a quick listen and see how the baby’s tolerating…
the labor, okay?
Yeah. Just rest, honey.
– [Sean] Rest, honey.
[Martha] I just wanna…
[muffled whirring]
[Martha breathing heavily]
[clears throat] Okay, you know, Martha, I’m gonna move you onto your side, okay?
‘Cause I don’t think the baby likes this position.
– Yeah, just this way, I think.
[Sean] Move her on her side?
– [Sean] Come on.
Yeah.
– [Martha]
Oh, God! It’s… It’s coming!
[Eva] So, you do the next one from here.
Okay.
Yeah. Attagirl. You push right into me.
[Martha groaning]
[Eva] Yeah.
Okay.
– [Sean] Okay.
[Eva] Bear down.
– Good. Good, good, good…
[Martha groaning in pain]
[Eva] Okay. Okay, okay…
[Martha] Is she here? Where is she? Where is she?
Okay, let’s see.
Now you just rest there a little bit.
[whirring]
Heart rate’s not coming all the way back up like we need it to.
What do you mean?
[Eva] I’m just gonna…
– [Sean] Hold on a second. Wait.
[Martha] Baby, no. Where are you going?
[Sean] The heart rate’s not coming up?
It’s fine. We’ve had two consecutive contractions
where the heartbeat hasn’t come all the way back up to where I want.
But it’s not outside the realm of normal.
– What is the realm of normal?
[Eva] Just…
– I’m gonna watch over the next few.
Okay.
[Eva] If it continues like this, we might have to call in backup.
We might have to transfer.
– To the hospital?
To the hospital.
But I’m watching, okay? You can go back in there with her.
– I’ll be right there.
We’re okay, though?
Yeah. We’re good. Go on.
[Martha groaning loudly]
– Baby? Listen to me.
Where’s my mother?
– Listen to me.
Yeah, what?
You’re doing great.
You’re pushing great. You’re doing a lot. You’ve been pushing for a while.
We’ve come a long way. It’s not a failure if we go to the hospital.
No, get me the chair. I’m not going to the hospital.
– If she says…
You can’t decide.
– [Eva] Martha? Hey, Martha.
I’m gonna do it here.
– She’s coming out. Just give me a second.
Listen. Listen.
You need to get this baby out now.
On this contraction. So you push with everything you’ve got, okay?
[Martha groaning]
There you go. Okay.
Okay. Come on, I can see her head. I can see her head.
Okay. Keep pushing. Push, push, push.
Push!
Push, Martha.
– Wait. Please. Come.
[Eva] Okay.
Okay. Let’s just see how we’re doing.
Come on.
Okay, you need to call them. Call 911.
Tell them we have a home delivery and the baby’s in distress.
– Okay.
[Martha] What do you mean?
[Eva] Martha, we need to get this baby out now.
Where’s the phone at?
[Eva] Okay? We’re gonna do it right now. You get up now.
Hi, I’m at 423 Formosa.
I need somebody to send an ambulance to a house for a home birth.
I’m in the middle of a home birth. I’m at 423 Formosa.
Yes, please. Thank you.
– Okay.
[Martha] I’m trying!
We’re gonna push this baby out right now. Take a deep breath and push.
– Push, baby.
[Eva] Push.
– [Martha groaning]
[Eva] Push!
Take another breath and keep pushing!
Come on! Come on, come on.
– Push, Martha!
[Sean] Push!
Hey, no relaxing! Take a breath. Push. Push this baby out.
– [Martha] Okay.
[Eva] Do it now!
Come on!
Come on!
Come on, keep pushing! Okay.
There we go!
[Eva] Okay, here she comes! Here she comes! Here she comes!
Come on, baby!
Come on! Yeah.
Okay! Okay, okay.
Hi!
[Martha] Hi, baby.
[Eva] Good girl. Come on. How’re you doing?
Come on. Let’s hear you.
[Martha] She’s so quiet. Oh, my God.
– [Eva] Hold on, you guys. Wait! Wait.
[baby cries briefly]
[Eva] Wait, wait, wait.
– [baby crying loudly]
[Eva] Okay. Hey!
Okay, she sounds good. She does. She sounds really good.
And the color’s good.
Hey! Hi, darling, you’re gonna go see your mama?
– [Martha] She’s so perfect.
[Sean laughing]
[Eva] Okay!
[Martha] Hi, sweetie!
– Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
[baby continues crying]
[Martha laughing]
Your eyes are so pretty.
Hi, baby.
I know.
[Eva] I’m just gonna cover her up a bit.
Hi, beautiful.
– [Eva] You did it.
[Martha] She’s perfect.
Oh, look it! Oh, look it!
[breathing shakily]
– [Sean] She’s a beauty.
Oh, my God.
[Martha] It’s all right, sweetie.
[Sean] She’s so calm.
[Martha] You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
[baby struggling to breathe]
You’re the most beautiful thing in the world.
Hi!
Hello. My daughter.
I need to take her. She’s blue.
[Martha and Sean] What?
– [Eva] Come on.
[Martha] What do you mean?
Come on, baby. Come on, baby.
No!
Come on.
– Come on, baby.
What do you mean?
[Eva] Come on.
– Okay. Come on, baby. Come on.
[ambulance siren wails in distance]
Get them in here. Get them in here right now.
– Come on, baby!
[burst of air gusting]
Come on, breathe! Come on.
Come on, little girl.
[sirens wailing]
We’re here!
Here!
Stop! Hey!
Come on!
[indistinct chatter]
[indistinct murmurs]
Hi, I’m sorry. This is my desk.
Oh.
Am I that scary?
No, no, not at all.
I just… Just was, uh…
It’s just my time off has run out. So, if you don’t mind.
Okay. Oh, God. Gee, yeah. Leaving right now.
– Don’t worry about it.
Thank you.
I’m really sorry about that.
[chuckling nervously] Just grab my stuff.
Really sorry again about that.
[woman] We don’t take the time to do things anymore.
We don’t take the time to eat, to appreciate life.
I have a rule that there are no smartphones near me when I eat.
[song playing softly over speakers]
[sniffs]
[Judith] Martha, is that you?
Don’t you recognize me? I’m a friend of your mom’s.
– [Martha] Oh, yes.
We play bridge together.
– Of course, yes.
Right. And how… how are you?
