Wait a minute.
We do soundchecks. - does it work
Good save there The joke of cauliflower is funny.
And? - Don't move

Time to go. Do you go to the bathroom? - I can go again
What's up with the microphone - Astrid Lorenz!
Good night. Thank you.
Astrid Lorenz! - Thank you, Gerburg.
Thank you.
Good night.
I see...
Notice what? - you're pregnant
Exactly! I have new shoes.
Pretty neat, huh?
I don't care what happens.
During that time.
My boyfriend wants a boy.
Great. So I explained to him: lazy boys
They can walk at birth, they don't want
The birth rate continues to fall.
Pregnant? Very not cool
People understand "fatigue" or "Alzheimer's"
but "I'm pregnant" like saying,
"I moved to North Korea" or "I joined ISIS".
"Pregnant? Are you cured?!"
Why bother getting pregnant lately? You can download the child right?
But hey, listen:
A child does not keep me from the stage.
You can tell jokes and decent lactates!
This method.
Car 8, right?
Mama!
Oh, damn it! - I come!
Stop, Nele! Nele!
I will get you!
I will make it very high.
And then you can sleep there. - with my sister
or your sister.
I don't want a sister. - No?
No. - Why not?
I prefer to have a daughter. - A girl?
We will put it here and it will be like a big tree house,
but on stage and not on a tree.
Stage house.
"Always surprise me how you make me and many others laugh.
Your hair is amazing. What shampoo do you use?
I've heard that you are a manager.
Markus Händler..."
My management - manager!
And I am Markus Häger. It's not hard to read.
"... so awesome..."
What?
"I'm not ashamed to..." - No, not part about genitals!
This person says, "You're the best stand-up comedian...
It's out there."
He wonders when you will announce your new program.
Is that so? - Yeah. He wants to know.
Many people do it. - see!
Great! - like spiderman
Does not work like that. - I know.
But we have 36 events booked next year. - really Awesome!
Indeed, but they want a new program. - you don't understand
Beware! You squeeze the baby. - sorry Sorry.
No problem.
If we wait for the perfect program, we will stay in our hammock.
And in our tree house.
Are you ready?
We have to go.
You are not good at this. - That's what Nele said.
You haven't cut this one in a while.
Thank you.
What do you do again? - I'm foot.
He only mentions vanilla sugar.
Special tips - Vanilla sugar?
I didn't try it. I use sugar cane.
White or brown - Brown
And what do you present? - Pancakes.
Do they turn out to be firm or gentle? - really firm
You are filled after one. With organic apple-mango syrup.
Hello. - Hello
Hello.
The test also shows that this is a boy.
Down & apos; s Syndrome varies greatly. This affects children differently.
Some have severe Downs, The others have very light forms.
How... really?
Not 100 percent sure. 98 percent.
In Germany, there is also the choice

Do you want to contact your assistant?
Why?
You can bake pancakes here.
With sugar cane, vanilla sugar.
Let's party pancakes!
With whipped cream from Safeway. That's my special tip. Very tasty!
Then fill the pancakes into the mouth of your assistant
until he explodes! - Astrid!
Wait, will you!
I dragged a cigarette at Simone's birthday party.
And?
I think I have a sneaky with Beate too
That doesn't affect The number of chromosomes in our child.
What will we do?
I will buy two pieces of Danish. One for you, and one... for you
Then...
We will sleep on it, together, and...
Then we will cancel the program.
I have with my boyfriend for eight years
And as you see, I will make it useful.
But a hard time, you know?
The hair on his head disappears
and reappear on his back.
Many men have this problem.
What about you? Is it a wig or haircut?
Rebuke? Good work.
No, don't answer. I see you...
Everything... alright.
Thank you.
Ladies and gentlemen, Astrid Lorenz!
Astrid Lorenz. - Thank you.
Thank you.
Will you take it for me, Barbara? - you're great
No! Marco! Impossible!
Smoking? - Just suck. I have to go see my mother.
You are there! Do you like it?
Very good! But it's different somehow. - really
Yes. I want to show you something. I just tried it.
Slightly cut left and right. Bingo.
Do your nose too. - Beauty tips!
Is there a tip for me? - Oh, yes. I will start with your hair.
By the way: a little overdressed, but really funny, as usual.
Abdel, man!
What do you mean by that? Your eyes...
I'm serious. - They ring around your eyes...
What about them? - You look stressed, my child
Let me release the queue.
It's okay, I can do that. - What is wrong with you? Not me...
What? I just appeared.
No, something is wrong. I pay attention to these things. I know when you...
Tell me, Astrid.
Mother, what do you want to hear? - Beate, want to see Basti?
Pastewka? He is above. - really
I can introduce you - Sure!
You know him too. - Mother here too Think she will be able to clean her room alone?
Eat alone?
Bathing?
Go to the bathroom?
Or do they use diapers?
Oh, Mom, hurry up! He started babbling again.
Extraordinary.
As a child, I used to play with downies.
Very? - Yes.
"Downie".
Is it okay to say that?
Sure.
"Mongo" it's okay
Unless you are a parent of course.
What does it look like?
Maybe a little like you.
And a little like me.
Only with Down & apos; s.
Can we handle it?
I like the Honecker-Ulbricht jokes my father used to say it.
Life is more funny before the Wall comes down.
appears naked
Well, what a shame! It will be useless on the radio.
Let's go back to your maternity leave.
You expect
your second child
How do you manage life with two children?
Always on the go, from one stage to the next.
How can you the mother you want?
Say something in English.
Turn over - Stop it! Nele...
Father must do somersaults.
Do another roll forward... - He will kill himself!
Hey, gals. - Hi.

All is well? - All good.
I will pick him up at the museum tomorrow. - perfect
Ciao.

And...
Don't you want to jump? - Yes I did.
But?
Chickened out, I guess.

I don't want... - Just wait and see.
No.
Sorry. I have to take this.
Come on now. Come.
Sounds good, huh? - Let me go, ma'am!

Within five months. - Five months to come out?
Five months curious.
Both of us. - With me?
Are you pregnant too?
You sing great
Are you pregnant too? - Where is Nele?
Am I fat? - I overeat.
Bad guys have a stomach. Exactly.
This is technology. This makes us angry.
I know how it feels.
All that is radiation around us.
This changes us.
And that's why this happened.
Come with us Don't worry
Come on. - Come on, don't be afraid
Don't worry - Come on.
Feathers fall to the moon On Mirror Lake
Some brush your skin When they float
More than ditches and roofs
You climb and smile for a moment
Feathers fall to the moon
Soft snowflakes cover you When you reach the stars
Come on and dance! - Come on and dance? Good!
That floor! - I didn't let him in.
Driving you sucks!
Beware! - You are crazy?
Dirt!
What do you think? - I thought you had stopped the car!
Oh, shit.
Doesn't look good. - Not good at all.
Are you out? - Oh no. He looks like a problem.
Well, I'll get rid of it.
Have you been drinking?
This is not the stage, Ms. Lorenz!
What are you looking for?
What are you laughing at? - What do you see?
Go lick yourself! - "Go lick yourself?"
I slow down at a crossroads to give way to traffic...
Why are you slowing down?
You cross three lines without signaling...
I don't! I give up. - Nothing comes
Return, please. - He crosses three lines...
He presses the brakes for no reason. - just get a handle!
What do you say? - I'll be right with you, okay?
You act like we caused the accident!
It's kind of weird... - My wife is pregnant.
You control everything, huh?
Do you mess with me? - No. That's just a question.
It must feel like that.
This will be charged! Lots!
That is certain. - my neck hurts
Hey you. - Yes.
I think Karl is a good name.
Do you propose now?

Hard and clear. He wants to be called Moritz.

Are you okay? - Yes.
See yourself. - And the baby? - Yes.
Your daughter? - We are lucky. - Yes.
Nele.
I have to tell you something. - What?
Your little sister or sister...
The baby suffers from Down's Syndrome.
You know what it means
Like people we meet today.
He will be very special.
And speak and behave differently for you. - I am here for you. Come here.
I know something is up!
Well, that's lynx.
When do you know? - A week ago.
Place on!
"The stronger is stronger

You don't even like them. - Michael!
Very good Excuse me!
Finally!
Hello. - I don't think you will succeed.
Thank you for coming. - I don't wrap it
That's good wine. - Help.
Astrid wants to say something. - Don't worry: not a speech!
We want to take this moment to tell you something important
You will finally get married - Father!
No, we want to tell you that our child...
is a boy
Oh that's good! - Yes...
And he suffered from Down's syndrome.
Oh, shit.
Just shoot if you have a question
Good...
Congratulations Congratulations That's great! - What is great?
They are open, warm people, with a passion for life. That is good.
Do you remember the boy? Are you used to playing with?
He is very proficient in mathematics. Real Heroes - That's right.
Who is the name - Brownie
Downie Brownie - Yes... "Brown" is his last name.
We know very well who is a train conductor.
A speech therapist of my friends who works with Down children.
Thank you. - call him He knows the item.
Will do. - Thank you, Paul.
And how do you manage it? Will you handle it?
Well... we won't arrange everything. But we want it and...
You are always on the road all the time. - But we like stress!
Maybe it will be a good thing. Both of you will work a little less.
You will manage and you always get Kati. - Exactly.
Obviously we will pay more For extra work, Kati.
I can't I have too much work for school.
How does it work, Astrid?
Good...
I don't know yet Learn by doing, I think.
It's okay with Nele, but...
A child like that is a full time job.
If anyone can handle it, you can. I don't understand...
I can't imagine anyone more suitable than you
Because of your brother, you know...
It's completely different... - I just want to say it.
No, Astrid! Astrid!
I can't! - You will not be alone. We are here too.
You can't make me do it. - listen to me
So we have a disabled child now...
What's the problem? - This is just dirty!
Sweet blonde sweetie, huh?
I think it's dirty too.
Great. One disabled child, The other is fascist.
Nele!
- I don't want the disabled child anymore.
Nele...
I think you will be here.
Do you sleep well? - Yes.
Come here. Come to Mommy.
Everything is good. - Yep.
You have changed a lot
You know...
I have to be a good girl for years
I never felt free from my father's death.
Mark and I wondered whether it was possible...
you will move
Good...
But I live so far away.
And I have my own house to look after.
Nele will be very happy.
You will set it up.
You're a big girl - Yeah, yeah
You know, I told Mark It might be of no use asking you.
Put your hand on it. Here
I will cut it. - So I can see it. Here...
Or should I leave it? Good. - Leave it alone.
You have to write about me again People like that joke.
Place more land there. Mother, you are my last choice
The last time you did it, People ask me at rest,
"Is that true? That's you!"
I am in the audience. I can see them like it.
Oh my God!
You know what, guys
You are very lucky
that your baby is a Downie.
Have you lost it? - Because if it's not...
I won't move! - yes!
Do you just say "Grandma"?
I will give you Grandma!
Come here, you! Come to your favorite, favorite...
He will always be there all the time. - Come here!
How dare you... come here!
Awesome, grandma! - don't start too
He said "second floor", right?
But it's not here too.
I think that's the way. - Maybe here
Okay, so...
Yes, it's the head on the left. Normal amniotic fluid level.
Placenta sticks to the back wall.
The bottom is down here and the thigh is there.
Ah, this you can see male genitals illuminate.
Thighs... - "turn on"?
Exactly. That's what I said. - A flare!
You... - Pretty big, huh?
But you shouldn't get your hopes.
Then here we have a small head.
The kidneys The bladder is full.
I am also - And...
I can't really see his small heart.
His back is... - He moves too much
Yes, and he turned his back on us.
Can you submit
Good. - a little left
Like that. - It was great. Stay in that position.
Good...
It's very fast, isn't it?
I will take a closer look.
Is it too fast or too slow?
Give me a short time and then I will explain it.
If you can keep quiet, it will become big Oh sorry.
... pumping blood to the lungs.
And on the left is the left atrium, mitral valve atrium,
and then the left ventricle, which pumps blood to the arteries.
And this confirms the diagnosis:
There is a hole in the interatrial septum
Here.
This area here shares heart valves.
And there are large holes in the ventricles septum and interatrial septum.
In the lower area, we will take Gore-Tex fabric and we will use the Gore-Tex patch to build a new ventricular septum.
And here, we will use our own pericardium,
treated with glutaraldehyde.
And then we can close this hole.
Not immediately No with a newborn baby.
We wait until the baby is four months old and weighs between 9-11 pounds.
So, I will put it in my own words:
there are two holes, that can be fixed.
Exactly. If both ventricles are large enough.
That is the requirement. - What are both of them?
Both ventricles, both chambers.
Pretty big. Then we can improve the heart.
Operation is a complicated procedure.
When the baby is... - Are they big enough?
Not yet, But we can't say for sure right now.
We think the left space is smaller. - What makes the operation more difficult?
More complicated? - Of course.
We must operate when the child is one week old...
One week old - one week old
What operation will be carried out?
This will be a large open heart surgery and we will stop the heart.
First, we have to do it open the chest wall
We will cool the heart. Then we will stop the heart.
Then... - "open" What do you mean?
We have to see it open, just open it...
Seeing it open? But it's small. - See open.
We must, unfortunately. This is bone. And you have to look through the bones...
We don't need all the details. This is an operation that you do regularly...
I have to know what will happen to the baby If it will be taken after birth.
But still have time to grow, if I understand correctly
Exactly. If both ventricles... - But whatever happens, you will operate?
Right. - You will definitely do one operation.
But maybe you have to do some operations.
And the first operation will be done soon after it's born.
Am I right? - Yes.
And to do surgery, the child...
What do you say? The heart must be stopped.
So, that will...
... sleep, or what? - Exactly.
Do you see? You have to ask... - But we have done this for decades.
But do we need to know everything? - Putting your child to sleep...
Do you really want to know the details?
I want to know exactly what we can do
None. That is the first thing you should know.
You can't do anything to change it. There is no procedure or treatment.
We will only track its progress.
And let nature take its course. There he is...
But, please, don't start to question the decision you've made
What do you mean?
The decision to have your child, despite trisomy 21.
You should not doubt that decision.
But... it's important to remember
that this burden, and the care that these children need,
that this will be with you for the rest of your life
That said, sometimes be a burden and sometimes joy.
Sure, but finally you still Have a child with a heart defect.
Even if the operation goes well.
But we don't know how the ventricles will develop.
One is okay, one is half-okay. There is a question mark.
And that's a matter of destiny. That is only fate.
Yes I know. This is not your specialist field, huh?
Can you explain it a little to me?
Yes, of course. Everything is more for Astrid.
This is just a lot to deal with.
No, I know that, but it's still very small.
Sorry.
This is very difficult.
Yes, let's shut up.
Okay, sleep well. Thank you.
Paul says hi.
That must be the heart.
But it's an organ like the others.
Liver, kidney, heart... It makes no difference.
Paul said Kostelka is a very good doctor.
I really have to go to the bathroom. - Good.
Return soon.
My sweet little baby.
This is something to the Association of Disabled People,
and in self-help groups,
inclusive child care facilities.
And here's the brochure from the Ramba Zamba Theater in Berlin.
Thank you. Bye - You're welcome. See you later
An abortion lately... What exactly will happen?
You are given a drug to start contractions
And then labor is induced.
After 24 weeks, the child will also...
given a potassium chloride injection, in the liver.
Then die... - thank you I don't want a lot of details.
See you soon
I don't hear you We are too loud.
Thank you.
Can I drink salt? - You already have a load.
You use it three times. - Give it here
Give the mother the salt. This is it.
Can I be forgiven? - Are you full?
You barely eat
Stop that, Nele.
That's annoying, Nele.
Thank you.
Are you both considered...
Don't have children?
We consider it and decide not to do it.
You have to deal with a lot. This is a different situation now.
What is different? - Go to your room.
Why? - It's been half an hour past your sleep.
It's 8:30 a.m. - really 8:30 already?
Time to go. - Go.
Thank you.
Brush your teeth. - Good night.
I think you are here to support us.
Yes exactly. And I.
I just thought that...
Maybe you have to admit that you are not strong enough
We are not strong enough
I just thought that maybe... - We are strong enough
us. - I'm sure you will manage it, but maybe...
You can reconsider all choices I don't criticize you.
I don't think you are. - Forgot to put it on the table...
There is nothing to force you to have these children now.
We have reached our decision. You will not change our minds.
We have decided
are you both? - What?
Keep away from it, okay?
Like you did when Dad was dying. I'm used to that. I can handle it better.
Want more?
The shower doesn't seem to work. - Use that one.
Astrid Lorenz! Imagine meeting you here!
I think you're great
Are you a colleague of Astrid? - No, I'm a friend. I'm a mother
Interview with Lanz last week...
He's kind of weird, isn't he? You are great.
Can I use your shower gel?
Thank you.
I hear about your child and I'm very sorry
That's not easy, huh? - How did you hear?
It's on the radio today. - on the radio?
Where is Ms. Liberta?
He is recording... - I know where to find it later.
Stop. Stay here.
No! Listen to me... - What's the matter?
You can't enter there. Listen to me!
Are you - Excuse me! We record here.
Once upon a time, Mr. Kretzschmar. - How do you know?
What are you talking about? - What do you say on your program
That's not my show. I heard it this morning.
But that has nothing to do with me or station.
Godje, a glass of water can help. - Yes, I'm very sorry Let's go now.
Water?
Of course we will issue a statement.
No, print first. This is not a problem with Astrid.
Are you crazy? - Wait a minute.
We have no choice now.
Dirt!
Nothing can force me!
Honey, they will go and write whatever they want again It's better if we stay above all. - I will deny it
We will bring them to court. - That doesn't make sense!
When a baby is here, everyone knows.
Yes...
Are you still there? Well, I'll call you again soon.
No, I will do it myself. I'll call you again soon. See you later
I go to counseling sessions.
And?
I want to find out what will happen...
if I have an abortion
Why don't you talk to me about that? - I don't want to bother you.
"Annoying peace"? That troubles me!
Can't you talk to me again? - Sure. Yes!
I don't force you to do anything. - Of course not.
But we arrived at a joint decision.
We have done it... - Can you make a lot of noise?
I will wake up soon. - Go back to sleep now.
Does Beate know?
No. Well, he did it now, but I didn't mention it before.
I don't believe it! You talk to your mother about that, but not to me!
Stop dragging my mother to this! - We want this child, right?
isn't it?
Mark, I just said it to give you...
Don't smoke at home! - sorry I just forgot My Lord...
That is a trial, okay? And that doesn't work.
I'm just trying to give you two different perspectives on things...
It is better if we get someone with experience I am sure you agree
It's like you are negotiating a contract.
Ah, I'm glad you are here You must be part of this.
You talk to my own mother
but accuse me from behind you!
I just thought... - It's true, right?
Third opinion only confuses a lot of things.
Don't you want my mother here? He moved is your idea!
I only ask Beate if he doesn't mind if...
Ask me if I object, okay?
We can use some professional help.
What's with him? - I can't be here
I want you here, ma'am!
Or I will let a few comedians go. - Are you good at letting people go, huh?
My mother stays. Period.
Maybe it's not a bad idea. We both always fight!
No, ma'am! This has nothing to do with you. - And always in the same place!
Hello.
Thank you.
Next we have female artists, that I really like.
Because I like women set. Two of our producers are women.
And I like women. But not many were present at the event.
He doesn't get your name.
Time to go.
But this woman knows what she is doing
Welcome Astrid Lorenz!
Now calm down. Take a deep breath.
We really don't have time for this. Back out
I'm here. Leave him. - Sort this!
I can't do it... - You don't have to go there.
He won't come out again. - What? He must!
But he signed a contract! Do you really lose it?
He just came out.
This is not good, Mark.
We have to talk about some... - not now, okay
What are you really waiting for?
I don't want to discuss our future
at midnight at the construction site
What if I want to? - Okay, if you want...
Then we will do what you want, as usual.
OK, so what will happen? Theoretically, I mean.
In the sixth month.
I'm just afraid of that...
That will always be in our minds.
That we won't be able to...
to put it behind us, you know?
I understand.
I feel closer to him.
I feel it moves every day.
I just feel like we will be guilty of something.
What's wrong with a Christian error?
It's not like you.
I don't mean to be like my father. Not in a Christian way.
Well, maybe that is a Christian thing. I do not know
But can't decide for yourself, so we have to decide.
It's hard to explain,
but I just feel like it's our job.
To learn how to overcome it.
That's somehow...
This is destiny.
Which one is that? - That is, too.
You look pretty smart
So do you. - Show me.
No matter what you wear, This is a hopeless case.
Lighting on this ward is rather dark, but don't worry
We try to imitate darkness that the babies are already used in the womb.
So we've used color they will see in the womb.
And that distracts from all sounds You hear in the intensive care unit.
That makes everything a little more comfortable and more fun for preemies.
Will our child end up in one of them?
This might require an incubator. It's easier to watch baby.
Initially it's easier to treat the baby in an incubator.
These are the rooms for the babies
who is more seriously ill and needs more intensive care,
or very premature birth.
So it's important that mom and dad...
Two mothers, right? - Yes, why?
Only an observation. - Well, everything is possible.
And this is our shipping room.
Your child Come to this world too.
And if everything goes well, after birth... - Where is the bathroom?
Right next to the entrance, on the right.
If everything goes well, it can stay with you for a while after birth Depends...
Let's put him back. - Hello
When was he born?
- Two months ago.
All done?
Has he ever had an operation?
Yes.
He has one operation, But he will need a few more.
You can touch it if you like.
How? - Wait a minute.
Maybe... here.
And then just...
How far are you? - Six months.
Oh, here it is - Yes.
My girlfriend. - Hello
Hello.
I think it's good that you have made the same decision as us.
I read it
and I think it's just big that you speak openly about it.
That you are brave enough to have a disabled child
So many women face this decision and you are a real role model...
Maybe we should go... - What if I don't want that child?
If I can't pass it.
Mark... - Let everything sink a little. Calm down.
There is no need to rush to conclude. - Stop it!
I feel like I mean now.
But you only see that it is possible.
The baby is fine.
I don't know what you just saw.
Doesn't look good to me at all.
How do you know how it feels? Maybe it's suffering a lot.
It looks like it's really sick... - You don't know that
You also don't - No, I'm not!
I'm also afraid. But stop letting fear get to you!
Stop thinking you know what everyone feels and what's best for them!
On the stage you always say, "Stand by your beliefs."
Where do you go?
Please come with me
Yes, it's important for me to discuss this soon
Do you feel more open for ideas now
No, actually.
He sometimes has today
where he only needs to take a deep breath
and let the storm pass and then everything will be fine.
I only have this feeling
he doesn't even try to understand my feelings
I, but I don't understand. I heard what you said, but...
But I...
I just want to look around in all the options again...
together, without pressure.
We can do the best to make sure the child has a good life.
But you can't dictate everything!
That is what you are doing: Dict whether your baby is alive or dead.
To pass this as a pair, You have to stop attacking each other,
but stay honest
Okay, honestly.
Good? This is why he doesn't want that child:
Other than other reasons, he is worried about his bad career.
This might sound a little rough:
Finally it's your wife's decision. That's the law.
We don't care about the law.
Yes but... - no ass! We decide everything together.
What are our decisions or decisions?

Enter, Nele.
Your brother is really sick.
It's okay.
And...
This is not like yours. It has holes in it.
It's not pumping enough blood around his body.
Sometimes nature does things like that.
I don't think he will have a pleasant life.
Nele. Want some scrambled eggs?
I will make some.
Thank you.
Continue now Enter father.
Hello, Mrs. Lorenz. Dr. Berrached.
I will take care of you, Ms. Lorenz, and will carry out the procedure.
We must take into account that you are 24 weeks pregnant,
so we talk about small children weighs 1.5 kilograms.
So we can't do it standard termination
because it is very possible that the child will be born alive.
injecting the drug into the child, which stops his heart very quickly.
And after that,
we will induce birth
Needles are injected into your stomach, like when you experience amniocentesis.
Hello, this is Markus Häger & apos; s business number

Do you remember my performance at Pepper Mill?
It flows with rain outside.
You are in the audience with maybe seven other people.
I rotate my ankle with high heels while walking from the stage
Wow, am I cursing!
But you just clap like crazy, as if it's all part of the program.
You are backstage
and look into my eyes.
When you stand there, I really want you to ask me...
I will do it in an instant.
Marry you
Good morning, Ms. Lorenz.
Morning.
You can just leave it there.
Take the pill afterwards.
Good morning. - Good morning.
Can I sit here - Sure.
I'm Yvonne, I'm a midwife and I will be taking care of you for the next few hours.
Have you done this much? - Not much.
But several times.
And the woman you care about... How...
After that... How do they deal with it?
This varies greatly.
It depends can you release it?
What happens to the child afterwards?
I will put the baby on your chest, so you can say goodbye.
I definitely don't want that.
I think it's important to you.
I would rather say goodbye to my previous child.
I will do it first.
Babies will be here for another 24 hours
if you change your mind
I will also take some photos and make some foot prints.
I will put it in an envelope and you can decide
If you want to open it.
But we will not be able to to bring the baby back
Does it move? - Yes.
I've tried my hardest all the time
do not feel it moving.
Maybe also try to say goodbye.
Do you think so? - And to tell you it's okay
What will you do in my position?
It is impossible to know until you are faced with a decision.
No one can make it for you and no one should judge you for that.
I hope I can decide differently. - I believe you.
But I can't. I can't
Maybe I'm not strong enough.
You are very strong - Or maybe I'm too scared
I just hope I do the right thing.
For children
For all of us.
See you at the delivery room. - Good.
How are you?
How long have you stayed?
Until the end.
I also did it for me.
This is not only for children.
This is for me too.
I don't want to live like... - It doesn't matter why
You can't do it Nothing else is important.
Hello. Professor Gerber. If you can lie here, please.
This, please.
Move a little. Move sideways a little. A little bit more.
I will need your arm soon.
Now clench your fist.
This may feel rather cold.
Now you will feel a small prick.
All done.
Hello, Mrs. Lorenz. Berrached.
Are you ready?
I need to ask: Do you still want to go ahead?
Yes. - Good.
I will do ultrasound first, just to see if everything is fine
You don't need to look at the screen now.
Technically, everything is fine. The child is lying on the head.
So now we can start the procedure.
Is everything okay?
Good. So, now I need anesthesia.
Mrs. Lorenz, I give you a little, local anesthetic This is just pinprick.
Like an injection at a dentist.
Okay, good.
Almost complete. You may feel pressure.
Now we wait a moment.
Are you okay?
Now I go to give you a real injection.
Try breathing normally.
I know this is really difficult, but... That's good.
Okay good.
You are great
Good. Let's start.
Done.
Oh, how beautiful!
And how big is that?
I don't think I can do it.
You can tell people what really happened
or say it is a miscarriage.
Many people do that. Most people.
You can tell your family and friends one thing and another person.
Besides, you are in the public eye, Ms. Lorenz.
The cat is in the garden again.
Very? Which is black?
That will make Nele happy.
I thought it would run away.
Why do you have to do it?
What is good?
And have you thought about it? about how it will affect Nele?
You look good
Your first show will come soon. Are you nervous?
I will lie if I say no.
Last year, you made important decisions.
90% of all women in your position make the same decision
But these women don't talk about it and you will go public Why?
Well, I can't have a big mouth on the stage and then close it in real life.
I made this decision.
I don't know whether it's true or false.
Maybe, a little of both.
I cancel my child When I was seven months pregnant.
I miss you.
