Bringing Home Baby

A Baby Story is an American reality series that began airing on TLC and Discovery Channel in 1998 and continued until 2007.

Overview

The series follows a couple through the late days of their pregnancy, sometimes presenting a baby shower, last family outing, or dinner party. Then, it always shows the family getting ready to go to the hospital, birth center, or preparing for a home birth. It films the labor and birth, which is shown in the series. At the end, the family talks about life after the newborn and offers the baby a few weeks after birth. The couple then spends some time playing with their child before the episode ends.

Storyline

According to the producers of the series, the intent was to include a happy ending at the end of every episode.[1][2]

Return

In 2016, TLC revived the show by livestreaming a childbirth via Facebook.[3]
