Ever wondered about the miracle workers who spend almost all their waking hours bringing life into this world? Take a glimpse into the lives of doctors working in the Obstetrics & Gynaecology department of a general hospital in First Touch. Against this frenzied backdrop emerges stories dealing with the common man's high hopes and deep-seated fears. And in this highly charged setting, one of our country's national obsessions is played out - the need for reproduction.

This series is as much about the doctors as it is about the patients. We see many problems and issues through their eyes – their struggles as they make life and death decisions everyday and their exuberance and joy when they deliver a difficult birth.
