Subject: Labor and Childbirth
There is very little that has changed about the process of having a baby in America. This information about what the mother-to-be can expect is largely still of value. Modern labor and delivery films show more graphic images of the baby emerging but this film was from a more subdued time.

Subject: Giving birth to an eggplant
The curiously out of date of what to do when you go to the hospital to give birth is shown hear, with diagrams, instructions and very out of date notes. Did you know they shaved the pubic hair off before birhing? That it's wise to put on plenty of make up before you go to the hospital AND to bring some with you to the hospital? That there will be plenty of scary looking anaesthesiac options availible to you? It doesn't get graphic, but it DOES get strange.

Shotlist

The birth of the baby is shown by diagrams. Pictures the labor room, the delivery room, and nursery of the hospital. Shows a mother in labor and the birth of her baby.
