Description: One of a series of three films on care of mother and child. May be used separately. See also "Child grows up" and "Baby's first year" (class 649). "A detailed study of correct practices for the expectant mother. During the film the expectant woman who plays the part of the expectant mother shows no signs of pregnancy, so there is no offensive or questionable subject matter in the film. There is a rather abrupt jump to the birth of the baby at the end of the film." "Although not up to standard technically, the film is of a type which would be valuable for use in certain phases of home work, some phases of home economics and girls' health courses." Georgia
