This 29 min. video is based on interviews the two authors/producers conducted at the 3rd International Congress in San Francisco. It is an excellent introduction to the subject of the amazing unborn babies and the communication that exists between them and their pregnant mother. It is surely a reflection on the quality of this video that it is already being used in Lamaze classes, LA County/USC childbirth classes (the largest OB service in the country), a crisis pregnancy agency, a state health department in its training of RNs who teach childbirth classes, the substance-abuse pregnancy clinic of another large public OB/GYN service, and in family life education programs in some parochial schools.

APPPAH leaders figure prominently in this educational video. I recommend it highly for both lay and professional groups.
