In ‘Four Hands On One Belly’ famous mothers give teenage mothers a helping hand during pregnancy, childbirth and afterwards. Tonight it was Channah Koerten’s turn (27) to assist the two sisters Amber (20) and Courtney (18).
“That you don’t want to eat breakfast and eat yourself is fine, but that little one does”

The two sisters are pregnant at the same time and are due just two days apart. For Amber it is her second child, but for Courtney her first. Amber lives alone with her boyfriend, while Courtney still lives with her mother and is busy looking for a home of her own. She and the father of her child are no longer together and she plans to raise the child alone.

Channah hopes that because she became a mother herself fairly young, she can support the girls. “My children really come first. There is no babysitter, I do everything myself every day. I didn’t have the easiest childhood myself and that is actually the reason that I want to do things completely differently with my own children”, said Channah.

Channah doesn’t exactly tackle the girls with velvet gloves. Amber says that she was recently told that her child is still lagging behind in terms of growth. According to her, this has to do with the fact that she hardly eats anything and also smokes. Something Channah doesn’t understand. “Do you sometimes give your other child no food for a whole day?”, she asks Amber. “No, isn’t it? That you don’t want to have breakfast and eat yourself is fine, but the little one does.”

Amber turns out to have other priorities. She spends no less than an hour and a half on her make-up every day. Both she and her sister Courtney are very insecure about their appearance. Where Courtney would like to lose some weight, Amber wants to have more curves. Channah tries to motivate Amber to eat a bit healthier and also to feed her baby healthier food. “You are at home, you have an hour and a half for make-up, then you can also cut a fruit for two minutes?” she wonders.

To give the girls a little more confidence, Channah takes them to a self-love coach. There they receive various tips to increase their self-confidence and to be stronger in their shoes. When Channah visits the two sisters a while later, it appears that they have followed her advice. Amber receives Channah without makeup and informs her that she has almost quit smoking. Courtney has some happy news as she has been assigned a home just weeks before she is due to give birth. Channah still insists on Amber that she really should stop smoking completely, to which Amber promises her that she will.

Courtney reveals that she has a new boyfriend who is there to support her. “Thanks to him I have gained more confidence and I am starting to accept myself more and more,” she tells Channah. Finally, to make the girls more aware of their beauty, Channah takes them for a real photo shoot with their newborn babies. The girls enjoy it to the fullest and both indicate that they are a lot stronger in their shoes.
