Baby Mama

Successful and single businesswoman Kate Holbrook has devoted her life to her career, placing personal relationships on the back burner. Now at the age of 37, she is determined to have a child on her own terms. However, her plans take an unexpected twist when she learns that she has only a million-to-one chance of conceiving due to her “T-shaped uterus.” Undeterred, the ambitious Kate enlists the help of Angie Ostrowiski, a spirited working-class woman from South Philly, to act as her surrogate.

What initially seems straightforward becomes increasingly complex when Kate receives the news from the formidable head of the surrogacy clinic that Angie is indeed pregnant. With a newfound sense of purpose, Kate dives into precision nesting—devouring childcare books, baby-proofing her home, and scouring the best pre-schools. However, her carefully constructed plans implode when Angie unexpectedly shows up at her door without a place to stay.

An unstoppable force meets an immovable object as the organized Kate attempts to mold the vibrant Angie into the ideal expectant mother. But the situation takes another harsh turn when Angie’s husband arrives at Kate’s home, unleashing a startling revelation: the baby is biologically linked to him, not to Kate. The tension escalates when the truth comes to light, leading the two women into a courtroom battle.

Around this time, Kate finds herself involved with a man, assuming her chances of pregnancy are null due to her T-shaped uterus. However, a shocking paternity test reveals that the baby is Angie’s—and not Kate’s. This revelation pushes them to avoid each other until Angie’s baby arrives. Yet, on that very day, Kate discovers that she, too, is expecting. In a twist of fate, both women ultimately find joy in their separate lives, with Kate’s child arriving just nine months after Angie’s, weaving their stories together in an unexpected and delightful way.

Through laughter and tears, Kate and Angie navigate their respective journeys to motherhood, creating a bond that transforms their lives forever.
