Facebook's new docuseries 9 Months With Courteney Cox [3] takes us through the intricacies of pregnancy, from a variety of different perspectives and couples. In the 10th episode, we revisit Marnie and Rebecca. While shopping for gender-neutral maternity clothes, Marnie fears that people will misidentify them as a woman. But Marnie's hesitations about their pregnancy are pushed to the side when Marnie is rushed to the ER after feeling symptoms of a miscarriage. Thankfully, an ultrasound shows that the baby is alive and healthy.

The episode also takes us back to Chicago, where Priya learns that she is pregnant. She is reluctant to celebrate the news and wonders how she will balance motherhood and a career. When Priya's mother offers to stay with them for a few weeks following the baby's arrival to help out, Nil is doubtful. He thinks Priya's mother will have an influence on how they will raise the baby. We also catch up with Lauren and Steve, who visit their OB-GYN for the last time. The doctor informs them that since the baby is small, she will have to be put into the NICU upon birth. Steve struggles with how much has gone wrong and has trouble finding happiness during the pregnancy.

Watch for new episodes [4] every Tuesday and Wednesday at 6 p.m. PT/9 p.m. ET.
