Wow - just watched an excellent National Geographic movie I got from Netflix, In the Womb.

Also known as "Life Before Birth" according to the IMDb: http://imdb.com/title/tt0488408/

I would imagine most or all of this would be fascinating to someone who is already a parent but if you're an expecting first-time parent like me I'd say run out and rent this movie now!

It covered the entire journey from pre-conception through birth and used a combination of computer-generated graphics, ultrasounds & "4d" ultrasounds, and even a little bit of in utero video captured during a fetal surgery! I didn't know there was such a thing as fetal surgery - amazing.

It was a very feel good portrayal not to mention educational and interesting. If you haven't seen it I definitely recommend it.

Any other good movies like this out there?

I haven't seen that particular piece, but, because I used to work in the medical field, saw some things that were very much like it. I wish the technology had been around when I was pregnant with my sons but then they were crammed in there so tight that the image might not have been too clear...LOL!
