Description
Follow the story of Carol Addison and her family as they experience the physical and emotional realities of high-risk pregnancy. See firsthand what to expect as Carol works through the difficulties of trying to carry her twins nearer to term. Carol starts to dilate at 30 weeks. Her doctor prescribes complete bed rest so that Carol can remain on her back and get the care she needs. While in the hospital, Carol tours a neonatal intensive care unit and learns what to expect should her babies need intensive care. "It's worth what you go through to get to the end product," says Carol as she explains the realities of life in a high-risk hospital unit. In this case, the end product is the birth of healthy twins at 6 1/2 and a whopping 7 pounds. She delivers her first baby vaginally, but the second requires dramatic emergency c-section surgery. The happy ending of "High-Risk Pregnancy" demonstrates just how successful high-risk treatment can be. Along with your tape, you will receive multiple-choice questions for testing viewer comprehension and thought-provoking group discussion questions about the topic. |

High cost, low payoff--big... by Andrew Alexander (United States)  1 Stars
July 30, 2003
At around 15 minutes, the sale of this video borders on highway robbery [$$$]. It is completely understandable WHY someone would want to see this video, *desperately* want to see this video as my wife and I did, but the payoff is far to skimpy to justify the cost. First, the shortness makes it impossible to explore the issues involved with Hi-risk pregnancy in any kind of detail. Second, the subject of the video has a fabulous outcome--she has two healthy, average weight babies, and goes home quite early after giving birth. As any one who has been in this situation knows only too well, that is an impossible thing to hope for, and to even think very long in that vein is to sugar-coat a future that could and oftentimes is very different. I'd say it's better to confront what could go wrong. If someone made a video about that, and explored the subject in more detail, I'd pay far more than the [$$$] this video cost. Instead of really offering my wife any substantial analysis of her situation and situations like here, she was "treated' to a cartoonish narrative with a fairy-tale ending. Have a long chat with the doctor instead of buying this video.
