Get ready for a big dose of cute.

Discovery Health just kicked off an all-new Baby Week, celebrating the real-life drama of babies born under extraordinary circumstances.

First, fall in love with the tiny heroes of Discovery Health’s newest series, NICU, premiering this Thursday, July 15, at 10pm ET/PT. This ten-episode docu-drama takes viewers behind the scenes at the top neonatal intensive care units in Baltimore, San Diego and Cleveland, showing the day-to-day care required to sustain the smallest and most fragile lives. NICU follows families experiencing the rollercoaster of emotions that come with having a premature baby.

Baby Week also includes six specials, including Strange Pregnancies – a look at three unusual pregnancies, including a woman with two uteri; Born on a Bad Day – true and remarkable tales of moms giving birth during natural disasters and other precarious situations; and The 10 Most Unbelievable Births – highlights of the most dramatic pregnancy and delivery stories ever told on Discovery Health, narrated by our very own Deliver Me docs. (See the full Baby Week schedule here.)

And if you still haven’t gotten your fill of babies, take our Discovery Celebrity Baby Quiz! Match the adorable baby photo with the grown-up Discovery celebrity. (Warning: It’s harder than it looks.) Or check out the Cutest Baby Face-Off, where you can vote for the cutest baby in a March Madness-type bracket competition.

Happy Baby Week!
