A woman releases 400 eggs during her lifetime and experiences only 30 days a year when it's possible for an egg to be fertilized. A man sends legions of sperm to meet this egg but "within minutes the [vaginal] walls are littered with the corpses of millions." The thesis of this BBC-produced 48-minute video is that it's very difficult to get pregnant and, even when fertilization is accomplished, it's still a miracle to give birth. Host professor Robert Winston takes viewers through the pregnancy of a British couple, Phillippa and Jeff, who submit to interviews (and she to graphic photography) about some of the practical and emotional aspects of pregnancy, while Winston uses cutting-edge technology to show us what is happening with the woman's body and her fetus. This mix of the scientific and the personal makes the tape a useful tool for any expecting couple. Phillippa gives birth at the end, an awe-inspiring event that earns the video its title. --Kimberly Heinrichs
