Jessica: One of the best ways to prep is to normalize
what's gonna actually happen.
So... we're gonna watch a little video.
You guys ready?
All: Mm-hmm.
( "giving birth" video playing )
( screaming )
Jessica: That's a head coming out.
- Shay: Oh, my God. - Ooh.
And it's the child screaming or the--?
Jessica: That's the mom. That's the mom screaming.
- Oh, my God. - I can't--
Oh, my God, I was at, like, at zero,
now I'm at a fucking 110.
( woman screaming )
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
It looks like an alien movie.
Oh, my God.
Jessica: That's the head and then the vulva.
That head is stretching the vagina.
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Jessica: You hear her screaming, "I can't do it."
I don't know, she's pulling on the head so hard.
Oh, my God, I'm gonna be sick.
( laughing ) Oh, my God.
That's crazy.
Wow.
I can't do this.
Jessica: And the baby is crying.
- Yep... - You okay, baby?
I'm solid.
Shay: ( retching ) Oh, my God.
( music playing )
I'm wearing my sleepers now because, well,
that's what happens at this stage, so I heard.
We're going up to the doctor's office
and hopefully I'll have better news next time.
You okay?
I mean, okay as like, I can be with that.
I honestly was going in there thinking
that everything was good and she was head down
and now I have to have an ECV at the hospital
where he will physically push on my belly to move the baby
and I don't know how the hell that's gonna go
because I had somebody tell me
that that was like almost just as bad as labor.
- Really? - Yes, they have to forcefully move her in your stomach.
I don't know if I can watch that.
I can barely watch when you push on your stomach.
It makes me feel like, weak.
The idea of watching someone manipulate your stomach like that,
knowing that she's inside there, it's like, crazy.
Anytime you ever wanna get mad at me in the future,
just like think about what I'm going through.
- I know, I do. - Well, let's test it,
because I think I shrink one of your vintage shirts.
( music playing )
I know, but, honestly, it wasn't me,
it was the baby brain.
- Which one? - On the wrong setting.
Potentially the really expensive one from Tokyo.
Yeah.
- Anyways... - That's okay, honey.
Thank you.
How are you gonna fix it?
Giving birth to the miracle.
- Okay. - Yeah.
( music playing )
Shay:
But at the same time, her presence in being here
really makes this whole thing feel real
'cause I'm like, "Oh, the countdown's on now."
- Hola. - Hi, Angel.
Hi! How are you?
- How do I look? Big? - Yes, you're so big.
Look at Angie.
Angel, are you jealous? Are you jealous, Ange?
How was your flight?
- Was good. - Yeah?
So, how was doctor's visit?
Not good.
- Her head is right here. - ( gasps )
So her feet are kinda wrapped.
This is her bump, stomach and head.
Wow.
Do you know what that means?
You have cesarean? Oh...
No, it's not the case yet
'cause I'm still, almost 38 weeks,
I still have two weeks.
Okay.
So I'm gonna do anything.
If you told me to eat a bunch of pig shit,
I would do it at this point.
Okay, whatever I can do
to flip her around so I don't have to.
- I'm giving you good energy. That's why I'm here. - She needs to flip.
Come look at the nursery.
Now remember I'm not done or anywhere near it.
- Oh, my goodness. - Yeah.
Oh, my goodness.
- So, right now, crib. - This is nice, I like it.
And then look at this.
Look how cute this looks.
- Even though this is-- - Oh, my goodness.
Look at all the clothes... all ready.
Oh, where's my suitcase? Because I brought some clothes
- of you when you were a baby. - You brought clothes?
- Hang on. - Oh, my gosh.
- This is your first Christmas dress. - Oh, my gosh.
- Grandma Marguerite-- Yeah. - I remember this from the photo.
How did you keep this in such good condition?
- This has lasted like... - I kept them-- Yes. 32 years.
What are you gonna be wanting to be called?
I know you had an issue with grandma.
GG.
You wanna be called GG?
Yes. Glamma or GG.
So she's gonna be walking around being like, "Hi, glamma."
Yes.
( laughing ) I cannot be called grandma.
- GG... GG... - Hey, GG!
Gorgeous grandma. Glamorous grandma.
( both laugh )
She's honestly laughing inside my stomach.
She just kicked me, "Are you kidding me?"
Yes, I know, she said, "See?"
Wow, all right, GG.
Matte: Whoo, this is what we're doing.
Trying to turn the baby.
Shay:
I am going to try everything
in the book to get her to turn.
Acupuncture...
I'm gonna apply heat
and this should make the baby active.
- Chiropractor: How's this pressure for you? - Great.
Shay:
And putting headphones on my belly.
Hopefully something will work.
Shay: Getting ready to go to hospital.
We are going to go in for the ECV, which is,
when they physically try and move her in my stomach.
And it is really painful so I've heard.
Please, can you be head down?
( sighs ) Crossing fingers.
( music playing )
Shay: I don't know what else I need.
What's this? You need this too?
I need that too.
That's a lot of toiletries.
No, no. Listen, this is overnight,
this is when I'm in labor,
like, I'll ask you to hand me something,
there's headphones in here.
I have my hand sanitizer,
which everybody's gonna have to use after.
This is the in-labor bag.
- You have toothbrush? - Yeah, I have that all.
- Okay, so listen. - All right, so that's all you really need.
By the way, I'm not gonna need this too anyway,
but I like the fact that...
Yeah, it's just that there's a 5% chance
something could go wrong.
and I could have an emergency C-section.
So we should pack.
Hair curler?
- ( clearing throat ) - It's a what?
It's like a waver, like you... Wait, hold on.
Just in case, I can't do this, can you try?
Like this, down like that, if I'm like...
Like, you wanna crimp your hair?
It's not a crimp, it's like a nice wave.
Anyways, we could be there for three days,
so we might as well be able to do something.
What are you bringing?
Nothing, honey. it's all about you.
- I know, but-- Yes. - A toothbrush and face wash.
- That's all I need. - Maybe another pair of clothes, just in case.
I hear your sense of smell is really, really sensitive.
Really?
Okay, whatever you need. You want me to bring it?
I'm joking. ( laughing )
( music playing )
I'm not feeling that nervous,
I'm more so like, I really wanna believe that she's head down,
Joanie: Yeah, yeah, so you don't have to get through this.
- Yeah. - Matte: She moved crazy the other night.
Like, it looked like literally, she came out of the skin.
When I was trying to flip her around.
I know.
I don't know if she's going triple axles in there
or if she's actually moving south, so...
It's not gonna happen, but worst case scenario,
if like, something happens
and you actually have to get a C-section today...
I can't even talk about this.
It actually makes me upset.
Hey, it's not gonna happen anyway.
Hmm?
( sobbing ) I know, but if it doesn't happen today,
I don't wanna have to do that.
I know, but they're gonna spin her today.
We're 3 for 3 right now.
Placenta is out of the way, you have lots of fluid,
and the baby is sitting high enough.
Like, there's no question, she's gonna turn today.
Honestly, it's not just the surgery,
it's the recovery time.
I cannot be bed ridden for however long it's gonna be.
I really don't want that.
- If I'm in bed, I'm gonna go nuts. - I know.
No, you don't, 'cause you'll be able to live your life still,
and I'll be fucking stuck after the baby's born,
like, you can't even lift them sometimes
'cause it hurts so much.
Babe, she's gonna turn today.
If she's not already turned, she's gonna turn today.
I think we ought to have a C-section,
that's the only thing that's making me feel better,
to be honest.
Joanie: ( laughing )
( music playing )
Okay.
Doctor: All right.
- What? - Matte: See, I swear!
Joanie: There's a miracle somewhere.
Doctor: Great.
- All: Yeah! - Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, I thought that I still felt her head.
Matte: That's amazing.
( music playing )
Shay: ( singing ) Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh!
Guess who turned, guess who turned.
Whoo!
I told you, you didn't have to worry about it.
- Matte: That's what I said too. - You never had a C-section?
- No. - So, exactly, you can't be like-- I was terrified.
I could've gone in right then if something went wrong anyways.
I know, I just had a feeling, I know it was gonna turn.
- You did? Yeah, - I did.
Like you knew it was gonna be a girl?
Yes, I did. I knew it was a girl.
So am I gonna go early or late?
I have a feeling it's gonna be early.
This could be the last night.
( sighs )
This could be the last night.
- Are you ready? - Are you ready?
Yep! I am.
Ready to meet her.
