National Geographic – In the Womb
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.
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. (Amazon)

I am 34 years old .Today 2nd December 2008 at 13:00 pm Indian Time,i was lucky to see a documentary of National Geographic Channel “In the Womb”. I don’t have words to describe it.It was amazing ! Every human being in this planet has to see this documentary.This documentary will bring humans more close to God or the super power.
Really spectacular and amazing documentary Shelin.
…Robert Duvall narrated a film on “Tango” back in the 90′s I lost my copy, are there any available?….or lead me to the proper channels to replace it…thank you, greg harbar
How facinating is this Doc! human life is absolutley amazing… actually life in general is quite amazing. I never really appreciated child birth or the pregnancy timeline when I was younger, now however, I have a new found respect for the entire process. What an insane surgery too, incredible that modern science can accomplish sich feats.
Cool Doc.
this is so amizing i was pregnant and i loose my baby a 6months so its pretty amazing to see what they look like in the womb
I was looking for this documentary from the day I watched on National Geographic. Thanks for the documentary. But it is not from the beginning. Can you upload right from the start.
I have watched many YT videos on pregnancy and partum, but this one is an elaborate one and I enjoyed it from the word go. The voice over doesnt allow boredom to come in between. All appreciation to the National Geographic that has made this wonderful endeavor!
this movie was amazing. i am currently pregnant and i was curious what a fetus must go though to develop. i was in awe. not only did i get to see what my baby has gone through or yet still has to go through, i have seen and understood the complication of what i had to go through when i was a newborn because i was born with a diagram hernia. this movie gave me a better appreciation on human life.
I agree with everyone, this was amazing! A journey that each and every one of us has taken and yet no-one remembers. There are lots of nice facts about the development of babies, like the babies sex is completely dependant on the man! and the woman gets her quota of eggs that will later produce babies while she is still in the womb. wow. and much more.
Another complementary doc to this this is ‘discovering phsycology’ also available on TDF: new born babies episode. Which says that the more tactile you are with your kids the better their brain development will be.
Touchy feely is good!
Thank you so much..! I like your web
This documentary was extraordinary. This gives you an understanding of how your life starts and the amazing process you go through. I really enjoyed this. Most definitely gave me a better appreciation of human life.
Part of a grand Illusion. The real beginning is the moment when Sunlight first Magnetizes molecules of muddy water. {WHS}
