Best Option: This Ted Talk by Annie Murphy shares some wonderful insights into prenatal connection in the womb.
Option #1 – The shortest option, with quality captioning in three parts (about 25 1/2 minutes total) – the first two parts feature graphics and the third part has remarkable images based on MRI scans of prenatal development and birth
Part 1 – Reproductive System, Part 3 – Sex & Fertilization: Crash Course (watch until 6:59)
Part 2 – Reproductive System, Part 4 – Pregnancy and Development (10:44)
Part 3 – most of the TED Talk: Conception to birth — visualized | Alexander Tsiaras (begins at 1:52, for a total of 7:45) – caution: does show live birth
Option #2 – If you want a longer version that shows more detailed “live” images (1 hour 42 minutes) that is still free (but with so-so captions), you should watch the Science Now YouTube documentary Life Before Birth – In the Womb
