CHILDBIRTH AND YOU

The majority of pregnancies result in a natural birth experience. Occasionally though this natural process requires assistance. 'Childbirth And You' explains what you might expect to happen in these circumstances.

Film footage from a busy maternity ward, animations of the natural birth process and interventional methods are combined with interviews with mothers who have experienced natural and interventional births.

'Childbirth And You' has been designed for expectant mothers and their birthing partners so they can prepare for birth and ask their healthcare professionals further questions. Topics covered include natural birth, caesarean section, forceps and ventouse deliveries and pain relief.

Filmed on location at Colchester Hospital University NHS Foundation Trust. Developed from an original idea by Mr B. Whitlow MD MRCOG, Consultant in Obstetrics and Gynaecology.
