THE DOCTORS' VIEWERS WITNESS LIVE CESAREAN SECTION BIRTH IN A DAYTIME TELEVISION FIRST

In a daytime talk show first, on the show entitled, "Prepare for your First Time," the Emmy Award-winning syndicated series THE DOCTORS (check local listings) was on hand with cameras rolling as San Diego residents Todd and Elysa Childs delivered a 7 lb, 9 oz baby girl named Kaylee Anne Childs via cesarean section.

The anticipation was palpable, as OBGYN Dr. Lisa Masterson narrated the process LIVE for the studio audience and viewers at home.  Dr. Masterson discusses the pros and cons of c-section births and suggests contributing factors necessitating the procedure.

"The bonding between mother and baby is a glorious thing and can be just as joyous whether the birth is via cesarean or vaginal," says Dr. Masterson.

THE DOCTORS also explores other firsts in life, such as puberty, revealing how to tackle the sometimes awkward discussion with your kids without the embarrassment.  Additionally, the episode examines what every couple should know before their first sexual experience; and Dr. Ordon divulges the number one thing to be aware of before undergoing surgery.

THE DOCTORS; Prepare for Your First Time will air on Monday, February 7th (check local listings).
