Storyline

After 21 hours Rachel is finally ready to go to the delivery room and baby-girl Geller Green is born and her name is Emma! Janice comes to see Rachel and Janice says she admires Rachel for her strength to raise the child on her own.

Suddenly, Rachel feels very alone and she tries to talk to Ross about the kiss they had. Ross doesn't want to have a relationship with Rachel anymore because if it doesn't work out it would really hurt Emma and he and Rachel are doing fine as things are now.

Goofs

Just before baby Emma is named in the hospital and Rachel starts crying, Monica is holding the baby under the back, not supporting the head at all. From the next scene angle when all of the friends are visible, the whole body of the baby is supported even though Monica hadn't changed her grip.

The One Where Rachel Has a Baby: Part 2

Bringing Janice in always makes an episode better. Bering in Janice in labour makes it much better! She was really great in this episode. Also liked how Chandler got to meet her or how they heard her laugh while trying to make a baby next door

Besides this and the ending I found the episode pretty dull. Like Phoebe keeps on telling Ross that him and Rachel belong together. Way too often and way too boring. And I don't even remember what else was happening because it was so uneventful

And Janice also lead to a great season finale by making Rachel insecure about having a baby by herself and saying "yes" when Joey "proposed"
