Are you having an Extraordinary Pregnancy?

Few mums-to-be would say that pregnancy is easy or stress-free, but for some women, having a baby presents exceptional challenges.

Curve Media have been commissioned to make a second series of 6 x 60 minute episodes for Discovery, on the subject of pregnancy called “Extraordinary Pregnancies”.

This factual series will take a look at unusual pregnancies around the world- meeting mums-to-be who are juggling the excitement and anxiety that pregnancy is expected to bring, but who might have an extra 'something' to take into account.

We're looking for women who are experiencing their pregnancy with a pre-existing condition or disability of their own (such as dwarfism or visual impairment) or have a condition brought on by the pregnancy (like extreme cravings, or severe morning sickness).

We're also looking for mums-to-be who, might have previously been told they were unlikely to conceive due to unusual gynaecology.

Additionally, this season we are particularly keen to feature those who have active or physically demanding careers and pastimes, such as professional dancers or those who do extreme sports. We’d like to explore how these expectant mothers continue with their careers and passions through pregnancy and what added challenges this can throw into the mix.

Across this observational documentary series, we'll follow these women through their unusual pregnancies, as they and their families prepare for the birth of their baby. We're hoping to film with the pregnant mum's medical practitioners to help the audience understand how the expectant mother's condition affects her experience of pregnancy medically, while the mum-to-be and their loved ones will take us through the day to day realities of their unusual pregnancy.

If you think you may have members, or know of families or individuals, who would be interested in the possibility of our helping them share their pregnancy story, please do get in touch.
