When a woman and a man make love, they can conceive a baby.

But people don’t have babies each time they make love!

So, how are babies made?

To make a baby, we need a woman with an egg or ovum, released by her body every month…

… and a man, with millions of sperm cells.

When a couple makes love, in this wonderful sharing moment, the microscopic sperm go from the man’s body into the woman’s…

… And the race is on to reach the ovum the quickest.
