00:30Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
03:59I was brought special delivery by the stork, and he even knew where I lived.
04:05My dad was in the bar one night, and he found me swimming in his beer.
04:20I was a Christmas present from the fairies.
04:25I was hiding in Papa's best Sunday hat.
04:39I came out of the TV during a station break.
04:51I came out of the TV during a station break.
05:01Mom found me one day in a hamburger.
05:07I was born in a cabbage at the bottom of the garden.
05:13I was on special offer at the supermarket.
05:23Mom got me instead of lunch when she was in hospital.
05:46The cat brought me in when it was raining.
06:06The cat brought me in when it was raining.
06:16Of course, you know really that none of those stories is true.
06:24The truth is much more interesting.
06:29So let's start at the very beginning.
06:31The first thing to know is that babies are made by grown-ups.
06:36One of them has to be a woman and the other a man.
06:43So the two people who made you were your mother and your father.
06:49Now if you were to put your mother and your father in the bath together, you'd notice something
06:57very, very interesting.
07:01They're not made at all the same way.
07:05You might have noticed that already, but you notice much more when they're in the bath.
07:11First of all, they're different sizes.
07:16They're different shapes.
07:18And they have different parts to their bodies.
07:23This is important because it's those different parts that help your mother and your father to
07:28make you.
07:31In fact, it's so important that we'll have a close look at everything so you can see what's
07:38what.
07:40Don't worry if they don't look too much like your mother and father.
07:44The important parts are the same on all of us, even you.
07:51If we start at the top, you can see that the man has a flat chest.
08:00But the woman has two round bumps on her chest.
08:04You will have heard all sorts of names for these.
08:06And that's the name you should try to remember.
08:19When you were just born, your mother's breasts were rather like a mobile milk bar.
08:25For the first few months of your life, the only food you could eat was milk.
08:32You know why?
08:34Because at that time, you didn't have any teeth.
08:38So you couldn't eat hot dogs or hamburgers or french fries or cookies or anything chewy.
08:45You had to drink your food.
08:50And the milk that kept you alive for those first few months either came from a bottle or
08:56from your mother's breasts.
08:57Now when you take a look further down, you'll see that just below the middle, the woman spreads
09:10out.
09:12Those are hips.
09:13The reason they're wider on the woman than on the man is to make enough room for a baby.
09:22But that comes later.
09:27When you look even further down between the legs, you'll see that both the man and the
09:32woman have patches of furry hair.
09:36You'll have some too one day when you get older.
09:40But the important thing to notice is how different the man and the woman are.
09:47Between the man's legs is something that all you boys have.
09:52This won't be as big as this yet, but it will grow bigger as you grow bigger.
10:08Just like breasts, this part of the body has a lot of different names.
10:13You probably have a special name for yours.
10:16But the right name for it is the penis.
10:20Just like peanuts, without the T.
10:25Between the woman's legs, you can just see a little opening, and this is called the vagina.
10:35Alright?
10:38If you can remember those two names, the penis and the vagina, we can start on the important
10:44business of making a baby.
10:50Let's say the man and the woman are lying in bed together.
10:54This part often happens in bed because a bed is so cozy and comfortable.
10:59When two people love each other, it's one of the nicest places to be.
11:05When people love each other, they kiss each other and they hug each other very tight.
11:13And that's what the man and the woman do.
11:18And after a while, the man's penis becomes stiff and hard and much bigger than it usually
11:27is.
11:28It gets bigger because it has a lot of work to do.
11:37By this time, all the hugging and kissing have made the man and the woman feel very loving
11:42towards each other.
11:44They want to be as close as they can be.
11:48And that's when the man puts his penis inside the woman into her vagina because that's the
11:58closest two people can get.
12:01This is a very nice feeling for both the man and the woman.
12:06He likes being inside her and she likes having him inside her.
12:12It's called making love because it starts with the man and the woman loving each other.
12:17It's a difficult feeling to describe.
12:20But if you can imagine a gentle tingling sort of tickle that starts in your stomach and spreads
12:26all over, that will give you an idea of how it feels.
12:31And as you know, when you're feeling tickly, you wriggle about a bit.
12:37It's just the same here, except it's a special kind of wriggling.
12:49It's easier to understand when you realize that the parts which tickle most are the man's
12:55penis and the woman's vagina.
12:59So it's not surprising that most of the wriggling happens down there.
13:08It often starts slowly, but gets quicker and quicker as the tickly feeling gets stronger
13:14and stronger.
13:16The man pushes his penis up and down inside the woman's vagina so that both the tickly
13:21parts are being rubbed against each other.
13:23Like scratching an itch, only a lot nicer.
13:35But if it's so nice, why don't people do it all the time?
13:42First, because it's very tiring.
13:45More than running or skipping or climbing trees or playing football or almost anything.
13:56Good as it is, you just can't do it all day long.
14:02The other reason is that something really wonderful happens, which puts an end to the tickly feeling
14:08and at the same time starts the making of a baby.
14:15When the man and the woman have been wriggling so hard you think they're both going to pop,
14:20they very nearly do just that.
14:23All the rubbing up and down that's been going on ends in a lovely explosion.
14:29Like a tremendous big shiver for both of them.
14:37You know how it is when you have a tickle in your nose for a long time and then you have
14:41a really big sneeze?
14:45It's a little like that.
14:48At the same time as this tremendous big shiver, a spurt of quite thick sticky stuff comes from
14:55the end of the man's penis and this goes way up inside the woman's vagina.
15:03Well, strange as it sounds, this sticky stuff is how you and I and all of us started our lives.
15:17It's called semen and in the semen are sperm.
15:26Each large drop of sperm is made up of hundreds of thousands of smaller drops of sperm.
15:34If you had a microscope, you could see them and what they get up to is quite amazing.
15:39After leaving the man's penis, the sperm make their way up the woman's vagina.
15:46Like tiny tadpoles swimming up a stream.
15:58What they are hoping to find is one of the eggs that the woman produces.
16:05inside her every month.
16:24They are unlucky.
16:37I don't know.
17:07But if one single sperm meets one single egg, they have a romance of their own.
17:20This is called fertilization, and the result of it is the beginning of a baby.
17:28If two sperm meet two eggs, the result is twins.
17:37Three sperm and three eggs, triplets, and so on.
17:44When the sperm and the egg get together, they make a tiny person.
17:49So tiny that not even the mother knows it's there for the first few weeks.
17:55But slowly, that tiny speck will grow and grow until it becomes a grown-up baby, ready to come into the world.
18:08That's a lot of growing, and it takes nine months.
18:15So the unborn baby is going to need somewhere to live.
18:20Where it lives is a special place inside the mother called the womb, which is a great place to be for the first nine months of your life.
18:32It's safe, it's warm, and there's plenty to eat.
18:38Because the baby's food comes from the food the mother eats.
18:44That's all part of womb service.
18:46And what does our baby, let's say she's a girl, what does she do all day?
18:55We're going to take a look inside the womb and find out.
19:05She spends her first month growing from a dot you can hardly see into a little girl no bigger than one of your teeth.
19:16But as small as she is, she already has a backbone and the first beginnings of arms, legs, nose, and the eyes.
19:30She even has a heart that's beating.
19:34By the time the second month has passed, our baby not only has arms and legs,
19:40she has fingers, toes, elbows, and knees, and a definite little face.
19:55During the third month, the baby starts to develop something which he's going to need once she leaves the womb
20:03and has to start yelling for her dinner.
20:05This is the month her vocal cords begin to form.
20:15Now, in the fourth month, we're getting nearly halfway there.
20:21Our baby is about as big as your mom's hand.
20:25And she's getting quite frisky.
20:27By the end of this month, it's usually possible for the mother to feel her moving about.
20:36The fifth month is a big moment for bald-headed babies
20:41because this is usually the month when a thin covering of hair appears on the head.
20:47Nails grow on the fingers and toes.
20:54And a doctor with one of those special hearing things
20:57can actually hear the baby's heart beating.
21:03Although she can't see much in the womb because it's so dark,
21:07her eyelids will open sometime during the sixth month.
21:10And at the same time, she'll start getting eyebrows and eyelashes.
21:18Seventh month.
21:19And if you thought she was big before, by now, she's a whopper.
21:25About as long as your arm, but all curled up and weighing about three pounds.
21:32Now that her body's growing so well, the brain is beginning to grow, too.
21:40And you see that she's turning around so she comes into the world head first.
21:47During the last two months, there's so much activity, you can feel it yourself.
21:53The baby is getting bigger and stronger and more lively.
21:57And if you put your hand on the mother's stomach,
22:02it sometimes feels like there's a football game going on.
22:07The kicking is for exercise.
22:10And it's a sign that the baby is getting ready to come out
22:13and see what the world looks like.
22:18Now we come to the day that all of us have been through
22:22and none of us remembers.
22:24Our real birth day.
22:27There lies the baby, all curled up inside her mother.
22:34But how is she going to get out?
22:38The simple answer is, she's pushed out.
22:42Now that the nine months are up, the baby's ready to be born.
22:47So nature starts things moving in the right direction.
22:52And that's in the direction of the hospital.
22:55The first sign the mother has that things are starting to happen
23:00is a special kind of stomach ache.
23:04Or rather, a series of stomach aches
23:07coming at regular intervals.
23:11At first, these aches, which are called labor pains,
23:16come a long way apart.
23:18But gradually, they get closer and closer together,
23:23which means the baby is really ready to come out.
23:28And that's the time when the doctor and the nurses gather round to help the mother,
23:36because this last part for her is the hardest.
23:40What she has to do is push the baby out through the opening between her legs.
23:50And what she uses to do the pushing are all the muscles in her stomach.
23:56Now when you think how big the baby is and how small the opening is,
24:04you can imagine what hard work it is for the mother.
24:10That's why this part of the birth is called being in labor.
24:15However, it can take a long time, and it's very, very tiring.
24:23But at last, out she comes,
24:27looking cross, red in the face, and yelling like a fire engine.
24:33After all, it's quite a shock
24:59coming out into the cold after nine months of being warm and snug.
25:06Just one last thing has to be done before everybody can relax.
25:13For the whole nine months of their unborn life,
25:16all babies have been getting their food
25:18through a little tube that leads to their stomach.
25:22Once they're born,
25:24they start taking food through the mouth.
25:27So the tube isn't needed anymore.
25:32The doctor snips it off.
25:34It doesn't hurt.
25:36Ties up the end,
25:37and makes it all neat.
25:41And that's why you've got a belly button,
25:44which is all that remains of the tube
25:47that once kept you alive.
25:49You may think it sounds like a lot of time and hard work
26:00to produce such a small person,
26:02but there's a very good reason
26:05why your mother and father went through it all.
26:10And if you want to know what that reason is,
26:13just take a look in the mirror.
26:17It was done for you.
26:20I will make it all these days so you can see.
26:32There are a lot of words in the mirror.
26:33I can't see it.
26:34I can't see it.
26:35I can't see it.
26:36It won't be the most obvious.
26:36It's all you can see.
26:38It's all you can see.
26:39Oh, my God.
27:09Oh, my God.
27:39Oh, my God.
