A patient lying in a hospital bed moments from giving birth is usually in no mood for fun and games. But that doesn't stop a TLC camera crew from going all lights, camera, action, with host Lisa Arch offering unsuspecting parents-to-be the opportunity to win a nursery full of prizes before the baby is born. If they agree to participate, the "Labor Games" commence, beginning with an actual delivery room transforming into a game show set -- flashing lights, game monitor, theme music, and more. Couples face baby-themed trivia and challenges to try to win trips, cash, baby monitors, food, clothing, and the grand prize -- a $10,000 scholarship -- all before the ultimate gift arrives, their newborn baby.
