| Description: | Birth of a baby. Starts with diagram of the female reproductive system and animation of a sperm penetrating an egg, cell division and growth etc. Shows a side view drawing of the development of a fetus inside a woman's uterus. Then we get the real live childbirth. Episiotemy, placenta and everything - in close shots, with a sheet covering most of the woman's body. CU hands making stitches (sutures) afterward. Brief part shows someone pushing a baby doll through a plastic model of a woman, to demonstrate what to do in case of breech birth (legs first). This might be a medical training film. 1950s-1960s? Sex ed, sex education. | |
