Ever wonder what really goes on inside the womb from conception to birth? National Geographic knows. In its documentary In the Womb, National Geographic takes a look inside the womb as it follows the growth and development of a soon to be born baby.

          With a mixture of 3-D and 4-D sonograms, life like models, computer animation and even video footage from an in-utero surgery, In the Womb follows one mother and baby’s journey from conception to birth.

          Filled with interesting scientific information (like the sperm may actually smell its way to the egg), amazing photos and video coupled with smooth narration, In the Womb is a must view for expectant parents. It’s even appropriate for the pre-teens who are beginning to ask more scientific questions than you feel qualified to answer.

          Fetal development is a complex and amazing process. And it’s something that for so long we’ve only been able to learn about through books. In the Womb gives amazing insight to what’s going on inside an expectant mother’s womb every step of the way. With true to life images, like a fetus sucking its thumb, In the Womb gives incredible insight to fetal growth and development from the growing babies view.

          With cutting edge technology, we’re now able to get a fascinating look at the development of a baby like we’ve never been able to see before. In the Womb opens a window into how cells, bones, brain cells and internal organs change throughout gestation.  You also see how facial features form and develop over time. From fingers to toes this documentary covers it all.

        Even the birth. The documentary closes as a laboring mother stands next to a bed, delivering her baby naturally with midwife and husband present. She’s then handed the baby, the cord is clipped and she’s left to breastfeed her newborn girl.

          When you view this documentary it’s hard to step back and imagine it’s all happened by chance. One of the most common review comments about In the Womb is that it makes you realize that there has to be a Creator that’s marvelously planned this miracle called life.

          So if you’re looking for a real glimpse into pregnancy and fetal development this documentary is definitely for you. From conception to birth, In the Womb takes you on the incredible journey discovering how babies are really made.
