The Living Body: Into The World

Closeup of a baby's face. Caption: (narrator) Many of these events reflect the astonishing development

Covers the tumultuous events of birth, using fetoscopy and specially constructed models to show what happens from the fetus's viewpoint. Also shows the physiological events immediately following the birth: the almost instantaneous transformation of the heart from one pump to two, the baby's first sucking movements, and the establishment of the mother-child relationship. NOTE: Contains some nudity and shows a short sequence of an actual birth.
