1000-lb Sisters (2020) s02e09 Episode Script
Labor of Love
1
AMY (VOICEOVER): Previously
on "1000-lb Sisters."
It's good to have coping
techniques for labor.
INSTRUCTOR: Roll
this on her low back.
[laughter]
You will have some issues, so
you may not go the full term.
Put those two
exercises together.
Bring them up with a bicep curl
and then up over your head.
Yeah, very good.
Come on back up.
[laughter]
TAMMY: That sounds like
Amy got to go hospital.
[music playing]
[theme music]
[music playing]
[sighs]
AMY (VOICEOVER):
Since I'm not dilated,
they're letting me go
home, because there's
nothing they can do about the
pain or the Braxton Hicks.
I have to learn to live with
the pain until I give birth.
[phone ringing]
Bitch.
I don't know.
The doctor wanted me to
quarantine before the baby's
born, so I can't go over there.
AMY (VOICEOVER): My doctor
put me on quarantine
before the baby's born because
he's been delivering babies,
and the parents
have been testing
positive because of the corona.
I'm all right.
I know that my
cervix is closed, and
that's mostly why I went there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I keep getting the cramps.
TAMMY (ON VIDEO CALL): Ew.
I'm quarantined
for the next 14 days,
so are you going to be OK?
You got everything you need?
Mm-hmm.
Bye.
Bye.
[music playing]
Hey.
Huh?
But
[laughs]
AMY (VOICEOVER): I have to
be at the hospital at 5:30
in the morning.
I'm worried about it
because this pregnancy
has not been easy.
I've had a lot of Braxton
Hicks complications.
And these past couple of days
[laughs]
Yeah.
We're ready for Gage.
Yeah.
[music playing]
CHRIS (VOICEOVER):
But we have a weigh-in
with Dr. Smith in a
couple days, and that's
what I got to focus on.
Because if I've
lost my 15 pounds,
I'm going to be approved
for this surgery,
and it's life changing.
That's all she wrote.
The fat man touched his toes.
[laughs]
And as far as food
choices and stuff,
I just really try to make
each meal as you know,
as healthy as I possibly can.
CHRIS (VOICEOVER):
The struggle is real.
My daughter moved
to Tennessee, so we
haven't been able
to keep in touch
as much as we would like to.
So I want to call Emily and
give her an update on my diet.
My daughter, she's a little
bigger than she needs to be,
also.
So I want my weight loss success
to be inspiring to Emily.
Well, the last doctor's
appointment I went to,
he said I had to lose 15 pounds.
Ha, ha.
I'm a manager at a you
know, a fast food restaurant.
If I'm at work, there's
food around me, period.
Guess what, though?
When you come back to my house,
I ain't cooking it either,
so you ain't going to
get it in my house.
Right?
That's the way it goes.
[laughs]
God willing and
the creek don't rise.
[laughs]
Hell yes.
I hope yes.
CHRIS (VOICEOVER):
The main reason
why I want this surgery
is because my dad
passed away at 57, and he was
between 400 and 500 pounds.
I'm 41.
I want to be around for
the kids to grow up,
you know, the
grandkids to get up.
I want to be able to teach
them everything I know.
I want to be around
for my family.
They're my everything.
I mean
EMILY: Do what you need to do.
I've done the best I can.
And everybody knows you
can lead a horse to water,
but you can't make them drink.
The whole diet situation is
never a cakewalk, period.
But I put in enough work that
I feel like I deserve to make
the go and get the surgery.
CHRIS (VOICEOVER):
And I really do
think Tammy is doing
better than she was,
but I'm not able to
be there every minute.
And who knows what
she eats or how much
she eats when I'm not around.
[music playing]
[alarm clock beeping]
AMY: Hey.
MICHAEL: Hmm?
[beep]
[laughs]
MICHAEL: Yeah,
MICHAEL: Yeah.
[laughs]
MICHAEL: Yeah.
[sighs]
[laughs]
Yeah.
MICHAEL: No.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yep.
[music playing]
AMY (VOICEOVER): Having
a c-section when you're
this size, there's a
lot of fat and muscles
that the doctor has to get
through to get to your baby.
Being obese, I could
have birth complications.
[knocking]
Come in!
What's up?
[laughs]
JERRY (VOICEOVER): Today,
I'm back to Kentucky
because right now Tammy's alone,
and Amy is having a baby now,
so she could use my company.
I just wanted to come and
see her and cheer her up.
Hell no.
[laughter]
About a week.
[laughs]
[music playing]
DOCTOR: No.
AMY (VOICEOVER):
Being overweight,
it was hard to find the baby's
heartbeat because there's
so much layers of fat.
[beeping]
AMY (VOICEOVER): Having
a c-section when you're
this size, there's a
lot of fat and muscles
that the doctor has to get
through to get to your baby.
And being obese, I could
have birth complications.
MICHAEL: [laughs]
Yeah.
TAMMY (VOICEOVER): I'm still
waiting to hear from Amy.
I'm just worried about
her having the baby,
and I don't want her to
have real bad complications.
Anything could go wrong.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
[music playing]
[music playing]
Yeah.
I don't have internet.
So I just got out
of recovery room.
And Gage is in the nursery
because his sugar was 24.
They want it at 50.
So yeah, they're giving him
a little bit of formula,
trying to get it up.
AMY (VOICEOVER): Gage was
still in the breeched position.
So in the end, I had
to have a c-section.
And then they took him
away to the nursery
to get some test run
because he had a low blood
sugar, because it dropped.
I'm hoping everything's OK.
I haven't even got to hold him
yet, but I did get to see him.
And I heard when
he started crying.
I started crying.
I already love Gage so much.
This is a miracle.
[laughter]
My body feels pretty good.
It's just numb.
I can't wiggle my toes.
So other than that,
everything's fine.
[knocking]
[music playing]
[gage cooing]
AMY (VOICEOVER): Looking
at Gage, I just see
his whole future, basically.
I see him going off to college.
I just it's an emotion
you can't really talk about
because you just
love him so much,
you don't have words to explain
how much you love him so much.
Oh, my god.
AMY (VOICEOVER): Holding
Gage for the first time
felt surreal.
I mean, my heart just melted.
He was so perfect
His little fingers, his toes.
Yeah, I made this
little ball of joy.
[laughs]
MICHAEL: [laughs]
[music playing]
So I'm doing this
video for my followers
AMY (VOICEOVER): kind of,
like, sharing my journey.
I got the weight loss, so I
wanted to show them my son
AMY: We had a baby.
He's so cute.
You're such a
precious little angel.
Gage Deon.
AMY (VOICEOVER): just to
say, hey, you can do this.
Look where I'm at
to where I was.
[gage cooing]
[gage burping]
TAMMY: [laughs]
AMY (VOICEOVER): After all this
hard work, all the weight loss,
everything I've been through,
all the trips to the ER,
I made it.
I can just breathe knowing he's
fine, he's here, he's safe.
He's perfect.
Hello?
Michael, congratulations.
Hey.
Congratulations, y'all.
AMY (ON VIDEO CALL): Thank you.
AMY (VOICEOVER): I
thought Tammy would
be more happy about the baby.
Look how cute he is.
[music playing]
[music playing]
TAMMY: Yeah.
Yeah.
[beep]
[microwave whirring]
What kind of movie
mood are you in?
Let's do a comedy.
TAMMY: Perfect.
TAMMY (VOICEOVER): I'm still
waiting to hear from Amy.
I'm just worried about
her having the baby.
And I don't want her to
have real bad complications,
which I fear she's going to.
So I'm glad Jerry's
here and hanging out.
[phone ringing]
Hello?
Michael, congratulations.
Hey.
Congratulations, y'all.
AMY (ON VIDEO CALL): Thank you.
Yeah.
JERRY: Oh, he's so cute.
Hey.
It's so weird.
Look how cute he is.
I guess he's cute.
You guess?
[laughs]
[burps]
[laughs]
Oh, OK.
[laughs]
[laughs]
[laughs]
Why are you doing skin to skin?
JERRY: Mm-hmm.
[laughs]
TAMMY (VOICEOVER): But
because Amy had a cesarean,
she's got to stay
at least two days
to make sure everything's
OK not with just the baby,
but with her.
I mean, this is Amy's
second major surgery
in less than a year.
Anything could go wrong.
She can move the wrong way
and bust open the seams
and start gushing blood.
[laughs]
Mm-hmm.
Lord.
Have you been
exercising and moving?
TAMMY (ON PHONE): [coughs]
[music playing]
[music playing]
Hey.
We're going home today.
I can't wait.
We are extremely happy
that Gage is here.
I'm just, like, really tired
and hurting a little bit,
so my energy level is gone.
And yeah, we just can't
wait to bring home our son.
Yeah.
I'm
[gage crying]
Yeah.
[music playing]
AMY: I hear you.
Yeah.
MICHAEL: Yeah.
[laughs]
[gage fussing]
[gage crying]
Yeah, I know.

[phone ringing]

TAMMY (ON PHONE): Yeah.
TAMMY (ON PHONE): [coughs]
