Twice Born

This episode presents an intimate view of both Lilly’s plastic surgery procedure and Bobby and Shelly’s delivery of their baby girl, Luelle. Geneva and Reggie, a couple from North Carolina, visit the Children's Hospital to seek help for their unborn child who has developed a lower urinary tract obstruction.

Doctors remove the remainder of Lilly’s tumor while couple Tina and Brion receive devastating news about their unborn twins. As Shelly and the baby undergo a procedure to repair the fetus’s spine, this episode offers a close-up look at surgery on a baby in the womb — the first time ever in a major television broadcast.

During the first episode, Dr. Holly Hedrick performs a rare EXIT procedure and attempts to remove a tumor from a fetus while it is still attached to her mother. Meanwhile, couple Bobby and Shelly anxiously wait to find out if they are candidates for fetal surgery to repair their baby’s spine.
