The thought-provoking new docu-series delivered a strong first season averaging 840,000 total viewers and 327,000 women 18-34 through five episodes, according to Nielsen.

"'I'm Having Their Baby' really resonated with Oxygen's young, female audience" says Rod Aissa, Senior Vice President, Original Programming and Development, Oxygen Media. "We're excited to share more authentic and compelling stories of birth mothers and their emotional experiences with our viewers."
"I'm Having Their Baby" provides an intimate look into the world of adoption by telling the too-often untold story of the birth mother and their experience in making this difficult and emotional choice. The series documents a range of poignant, personal stories as the women struggle with an unplanned pregnancy and ultimately decide whether or not to place their baby in the hands of another family. However diverse the case, there is one thing that's common - each woman wants the brightest future for her unborn child and a better life for herself.
