 Beautiful pictures and real-life 4D sonograms September 20, 2006

This movie is actually a combination of 4-dimensional real-time sonograms and re-created "animation" of a fetus developing. I don't mean cartoon animation, but just a re-creation of a baby in an actual womb. With both, the fetus is actually moving around and shown exactly as it develops, moves, etc. I would say there is about 5 whole minutes of 4D sonogram footage and the rest is re-creation footage (which is very detailed and much more appealing to watch). We are currently studying biology and life science so this movie was very appropriate and fit in well with our biology books and materials. A new tidbit that I had yet to read or hear was that sperm could smell the egg, which helps them to find it. We giggled over that part, which was entirely new to us. There is only about 5 minutes devoted to actual childbirth and only one quick view of the baby's head and shoulders being born. This movie is definitely more about the baby's development in the womb and what happens at what stage. There is also some remarkable footage of real-life surgery on an infant while in the womb to inflate his lungs, which are being crushed by his intestines. The movie says this increases the survival rate for babies with this defect by 50%. That's remarkable. I would also highly recommend this movie to anyone considering abortion, so they could make a more informed decision. At 3 or 4 months, there really is no question that it's a baby.
 Good DVD for soon-to-be parents July 2, 2006

This takes you through conception to birth. Very imformative and descriptive. We watched the DVD at different segments during our pregnancy. It was fun to see what the baby looks like at the different ages in the womb.
 Mostly Computer Graphics February 22, 2007

I was hoping to see more actual footage in National Geographic's "In the Womb". While this film was mostly about the developing fetus, out of the entire film, only a few minutes of actual 4D sonograms were shown. The film was fascinating and informative, but I didn't realize that it was going to be mostly computer graphics. Some moments, I thought I was looking at a real fetus in the womb, but most of the time it looked comletely fake.

We have 4 kids and have another one on the way. The kids had some questions that covered a broad range. (what does the baby look like now to how will it come out) We sat all four of them down (ages 3 to 11) in front of it. They all enjoyed it and got their questions answered better than we had answered them. Good Show from National Geographic - 5 stars
