Synopsis:
A man racing his pregnant wife to the hospital gets pulled over by a police officer. When the man jumps out of the car, the officer raises her gun not knowing if he's a criminal and prepares to fire. The man has to convince her that his wife is in the middle of labor. Instead of arresting him the officer winds up delivering the baby. Then a woman with triplets goes into very early labor and loses one of her triplets. The doctors have to try a daring procedure to save the two of the three babies. And a woman rushing to the hospital has to give birth in a very compact company car. Then a ten-year-old girl acts as midwife for her mom on the way to the hospital. And a woman gives birth in a coma. Finally, as a woman preparing for a thanksgiving dinner goes into labor and has to give birth. A fifteen-year-old girl will be the one who delivers and saves the baby based on what she's seen on television.
Don't get this videoJanuary 30, 2008 Winnie Sunshine 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is an awful video depicting normal birth as a life-threatening event. It advances the notion that women are incapable of having babies without medical intervention. I bought this thinking it would be about newborns, but it is a series of vignettes illustrating the dependence of women on medicine in the presence of a normal life event.
