From the moment of conception, every human embryo embarks on an incredible nine month journey of development. Now, cutting-edge technology makes it possible for National Geographic's In the Womb to open a window into the hidden world of the fetus and explore each trimester in amazing new detail. Revolutionary imagery sheds light on the delicate, dark world of a fetus as never before.

Best Factual Video on Pregnancy
My husband and I borrowed this video from the local library at a friend's recommendation. It was fabulous and I have since gone on to recommend it to many other expectant parents.

For a detailed, factual description of what is happening in the womb, this is truly the best video out there. The script is interesting and tasteful (nothing too offensive - there is a birth scene at the end and mention of what happens at conception, but it would be appropriate for a child-birth class or older kids), the footage is visually stunning, the information is interesting and useful, and the overall impression you're left with is that human life is pretty amazing!

I gave this 4 stars (it would have been 4 1/2) instead of 5 for these reasons: 1, the show drags a little in the middle, becoming slightly repetitive as it details the emerging senses. 2, While the purpose of this video is not to be a cautionary tale or "how to care for your baby and body" video, there were a few spots I found a little off-putting. The video briefly mentioned that alcohol "should be avoided," and then moved on. I thought that would be a perfect point to detail WHY drug and alcohol use is so damaging - namely, that it stops baby's body from developing, her senses from developing, etc. I understand the video doesn't want to be preachy, but informative. Yet still, even from a scientific point of view, more could have been said here.

Overall, however, this is an excellent movie and a must-see for all expectant parents. It really makes you appreciate how miraculous little babies are!

Great documentary
I loved the 3D graphics. Throughout the film it seemed like I was looking at a real baby in a real womb in real life.

Conception to Birth: Baby's Incredible Journey
This beautiful and moving film is a "must see" for any expectant mother who is interested in the development of her unborn child. I found it to be informative and miraculous to have an up close and personal look at the stages of development of a baby. The technology involved is so stunning and as I watched I felt an overwhelming sense of awe of how we all came to be who we are. National Geographic is to be commended for such a wonderful and informative program. How could anyone possessing even a shred of humanity ever consider abortion after watching this fantastic presentation! A great gift for every "Mother to be".

Review "In the Womb"
Fantastic movie. Would recommend it to all pregnant women, but also other adults because the movie shows how incredible nature can be

Excellent pregnancy video!
I watched this video three times during my pregnancy. I enjoyed the month by month images and descriptions of developmental stages. I have loaned it out to family and friends just because it's really an amazing view of what we've all gone through!
