Description
A film about how the NHS helps women through pregnancy and birth. The film centres on antenatal care in Oxford, where birth is treated 'not as an illness but as a natural event'. Various expectant mothers are met, their care is discussed, home visits from midwives seen, and two births are seen; a normal birth and a caesarean section.
