In the US, there's an expectation that relationships follow the path laid out by the nursery rhyme: "First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage."
Fox's latest reality TV show fast-forwards straight to the baby carriage.
"Labor of Love," which debuts on May 21 on Fox, focuses on one successful woman's quest to find the father of her future children by picking between 15 male suitors all competing for her affection.
"Like so many women in America today, she is ready to have a child and start a family, but has yet to meet the potential father of her children," Fox's synopsis reads.
The host is Kristen Davis, best known for playing Charlotte in "Sex And The City," a character whose plotline was widely credited with shining a light on the challenges people face in starting a family, including infertility. Davis will guide the show's 41-year-old bachelorette Kristy Katzmann through different challenges with the men to decide which one is her perfect father-to-be.
"Each week, the aspiring fathers-to-be will be faced with challenges that will put their parenting and partnership skills to the test. If they prove worthy, they will advance to the next week, and for those who don't, Kristy will let them know that she does not see herself starting a family with them," the synopsis reads.
While the show is focused on finding her future children's father, Katzmann said she's open to making that happen in a variety of ways.
"Ultimately, her goal is to find the best path to parenthood," executive producer Spike Van Briesen told Parade. "If she finds that person and they both make a connection, then great. But she's not opposed at all to using a sperm donor."
It isn't yet clear whether she plans on using a donor, surrogate, or having a natural birth.
