THURSDAY 15 FEBRUARY

Documentary

Miracles in the Womb

9:00pm - 10:35pm

Channel 4

VIDEO Plus+: 61576641
Subtitles

Following last year's enchanting film using special effects to re-create the gestation of mammals such as elephants and dolphins, we're now shown what goes on in a woman's uterus when she's conceived twins, triplets or even quads. The footage is accompanied by specially commissioned poetry by Roger McGough and Brian Patten, which, while delightful, sounds a bit too cosy for a quasi-scientific documentary. But the real-life endoscopic footage and the "4-D" ultrasound scans are fabulous and there are intriguing biological snippets, including the suggestion that one in eight of us may have started life in the womb with a sibling.

Thanks guys

I have got videos of my scans and you can see my DTs kicking and bumping each other

we took a video tape and each time I was scanned they put it into VCR and recorded the scans

The video is very precious to us

we didnt start out very pretty did we!

I'm wondering if some of it is computer-generated rather than live footage?

Is anyone finding that guy reading the poems a bit irritating?

thisisdavina · 15/02/2007 23:07

horrified to hear that one twin can absorb the other though (thankfully rare)

so sorry to hear that Kanga. I'm glad that you have some special memories, keep them safe..

Interesting programme. Especially the bit about the missing twin thing and the link to left handedness.
However, the stupid poem thing was annoying and once I realised that they used lifelike models of the foetuses, I stopped finding it so fascinating.
There wasn't that much actual "real" footage.
