在这部呼叫助产士 第二季剧情片中,剧集根据已故作家詹尼弗·沃斯的畅销回忆录改编，讲述了50年代伦敦东部多姿多彩的助产士和家庭故事，感人、亲密、有趣，而且最重要的是真实。当珍妮第一次来到Poplar区时，她对艰苦、贫穷甚至生活本身一无所知。珍妮是一名隶属于Nonnatus修道院的护理修女、助产士团队的一员，负责探访孕妇，并为最贫穷的妇女提供最好的照顾。在这里，街道上到处都是孩子，而只有一个八张床位的产科病房来服务整个地区，大多数分娩都在家里进行。跟随Jenny，我们穿过街道去探望她的病人——比如Conchita，她已是第25次怀孕，而妓女玛丽怀孕时才15岁——《呼叫助产士》提供了一个迷人的视角，让人们得以了解一个处于巨大社会变革边缘的真实社区。
Jenny visits pregnant Molly Brignall who is submissive to her abusive husband Ritchie even though he has driven a wedge between her and her mother Marjorie. Molly gives birth in hospital but discharges herself early at her husband's behest. The consequences are disastrous though at least it lets Marjorie into her grandchildren's lives. Sister Evangelina and Trixie have to scale a precarious rope ladder on a Swedish ship,whose captain's daughter Kirsten is about to give birth. The nun dislocates her shoulder so that Trixie - successfully - carries out the birth. She is,however,horrified to learn that Kirsten has been used as a prostitute to keep the crew happy and she gives the young woman the strength to leave the ship and lead her own life. Chummy meanwhile considers mission work in Africa.
