Newborn Russia S04E45 - Rainbow babies bring joy to two hopeful couples

In this episode, two women whose first pregnancies ended in miscarriage are ready to try again. Babies born to mothers who have previously lost children are known as "rainbow babies" – their births being likened to a rainbow after a storm. The couples' second pregnancies have been carefully planned but the uncertainty creates tension as their due dates approach.

When Oksana becomes upset after going into premature labour, her husband Vyacheslav tries to cheer her up with a bet on who will be first to hold the baby. Meanwhile, Svetlana is concerned that the doctors have moved the date of her C-section forward as they expect complications. Her husband Sergey won't be allowed into the operating theatre but will wait anxiously in the corridor.
