The Stages of Labor 2nd Edition:
A Visual Guide
Injoy has replaced its 1999 ground breaking video with The Stages of Labor 2nd Edition.

This exciting new edition features all new animation and birth footage, while continuing to give the accurate, concise information that made teaching the stages of labor so easy and informative with the first edition.

Amazing animation gives an inside view of birth
Viewers take a remarkable journey through the birth process with 3D animation that clearly illustrates what happens inside the body during each stage of labor. The animation is woven together with inspiring labor footage and parent commentary, creating a complete look at both the physical and emotional progression of labor. By emphasizing the body's natural ability to give birth, this program leaves parents feeling confident about their own upcoming childbirth experiences.

How is Stages 2nd Edition new and improved?

From the baby's skin tone to the uterine muscle, every bit of the new animation is more vivid and realistic, making it even easier for you to effectively teach the stages of labor.
