Birth Of A Baby

With a baby’s first cry…comes a wonderful moment of fulfillment. The parents’ long and patient waiting, the careful planning, the doctor’s knowledge and deft skill-all these are fully realized in the dramatic instant of the birth of a baby.
The actual happenings of the moments that surround the birth are, for most of us, hidden behind a white aseptic veil. But now, with this documentary recording, that veil is lifted. Microphones in theivery room of a Madison, Wisconsin, hospital bring us all the sounds of the real event, as a doctor’s gently modulated voice describes everything he sees-each step of the fascinating procedure of delivery.
The obstetrician’s instructions, the sounds of the surgical instruments, the words of nurses and anaesthetist, the mother’s deep breathing, and at long last, the baby’s cries- these are recorded here in a presentation as intensely moving as only reality can be. This is an album to treasure, because, in a unique way, it gives to us a fresh awareness of life itself.
