Yes! You Can

Viewers may possibly get whiplash as they are thrown into an examining room at a birthing center where a midwife is explaining to a very pregnant Spanish woman that a) it won't be long now, and b) that intercourse often brings on labor and won't hurt the baby. The audience is actually hearing this information two times: once in Spanish and simultaneously in English voice-over narration (although the Spanish only version would, of course, sound less audibly confusing). About two weeks later, we return to the birthing center with the very pregnant woman, her husband and the midwife, where the latter briefly explains basic labor, as the husband encourages his wife and holds her hand. Eventually she is moved into a large bath tub, where she is soon joined by a sister-in-law (wearing a bathing suit on) who helps make the laboring woman more comfortable. Shortly thereafter, we see the woman in bed, where the baby's head is crowning and the midwife is talking and our narrator is talking and viewers can't understand anything that's being said but do see the birth. As the exhausted mother rests, the baby begins to nurse and viewers are briefly told that nursing is good for the baby (it has antibodies for the baby) and good for the mother (it helps expel the placenta). Role credits. I know it took longer than 17 minutes for you to read this saga, but I didn't want to leave anything out. I felt for the overblown price of $150, I'd throw in this blow by blow description absolutely free. There are plenty of better and cheaper childbirth titles out there, and many of them are also available in Spanish. Three other 15-20 minute Spanish titles from D.R. Press (also priced at $150 each) are available: Practicando Para Dar A Luz (Practicing for Birth), Durante El Parto (During Labor & Delivery), and Dar A Luz Con Amor (Giving Birth With Love). Aud: P.
