Baby Week on Discovery Health Starts Nov. 30th

Beginning Monday, November 30th, Discovery Health's Baby Week will commence. From expectant mothers' indomitable will to survive, to unconventional families' historic births, to high-risk pregnancies that defy all the odds - this edition of Baby Week features actual events.

The special programming begins each night at 8 PM (ET/PT) from Monday, November 30, through Friday, December 4.

Featured Baby Week world premieres include:

  • She Survived That...Pregnant?!
  • Transgendered and Pregnant
  • I'm Pregnant And...
  • Dwarf Adoption Story

Baby Week kicks off with the premiere of She Survived That...Pregnant?!, an hour-long special recounting the stories of pregnant women who survived deadly accidents and encounters that could have killed them--and their unborn children. The pregnant women include a woman whose parachute failed to open, causing her to land face-first on the ground; a woman who was first chased by a bear--and then after she managed to escape, was hit by a car; a woman who fell over a balcony and was impaled by a microphone stand; and a woman who was shot in the uterus, with her unborn baby suffering a bullet wound as well.

Transgendered And Pregnant premieres Tuesday, December 1, at 8 PM (ET/PT). This hour-long special tells the story of a transgendered couple--the wife, a male-to-female and the husband, a female-to-male transgender--expecting a baby under the most unusual of circumstances. In spite of ongoing hormone treatments, the male-to-female transgender wife managed to impregnate the husband, a female-to-male transgender--and Discovery Health’s cameras capture the couple throughout the pregnancy leading up to the birth of their first child.

I'm Pregnant And... premieres Tuesday, December 1, at 9:30 PM (ET/PT). This brand-new series follows the stories of women facing serious issues--emotional, physical, mental or circumstantial--as they navigate their nine-month journey through pregnancy. Topics explored throughout the six-part series include:

  • I'm Pregnant and I'm Addicted
  • I'm Pregnant and I Have an Eating Disorder
  • I’m Pregnant and Over 55

Expecting 15 Babies premieres Friday, December 4, at 8 PM (ET/PT).Three families experience the dangerous business of giving birth to and raising multiples, including the first Hispanic sextuplets in the United States, an expecting mother of quadruplets and a family with 22-month-old quintuplets!
