Offering soon-to-be fathers a once-ina-lifetime opportunity to go through the mental and physical challenges – and joys – their partner experiences during pregnancy. This warm-hearted, feel-good series is set to discover if dads have what it takes… to be moms!

Every day, all over the world, thousands of couples are preparing for parenthood – but only half of these couples go through the all-important initial stage – pregnancy. So what would happen if the other half had the chance to share the whole experience?
Using state-of-the-art technology, including custom-built pregnancy suits and contraction belts, the fathers-to-be find
out what it really means to carry a baby. Alongside their partners, they’ll experience the weight, discomfort and clumsiness, as well as the sleeplessness, cramps and the inevitable contractions.

Following the couples at home, at work and at the hospital to capture every landmark moment as they reveal their feelings in intimate video diaries, the series also sees men learning to be better partners and dads on this shared journey towards delivery day. At the same time, medical experts including midwives, general practitioners and psychologists keep viewers informed at every stage.
Already a ratings smash in Asia, this fresh and entertaining real-life experiment explores gender roles and relationships like never before, unravelling new truths as dads discover all the drama, emotion, laughter and tears that bringing a baby into the world delivers!
