Fetal Growth and DevelopmentLife Before Birth: Normal Fetal Development - A unique, profusely illustrated guide to the development of the normal fetus. The Pregnancy Journal: A Day-To-Day Guide to a Healthy and Happy Pregnancy - Whether this is pregnancy number 1 or number 10, nothing makes it easier to connect with a growing baby than knowing exactly what magical development is happening every day. Filling the need for practical information, medical data, emotional and spiritual fuel, and even "pregnancy trivia," The Pregnancy Journal is easily one of the best books available for a woman or couple expecting a baby. The journal contains about half a page of information for each day from conception through delivery. Nutrition, how to avoid discomforts associated with pregnancy, childbirth customs in other cultures, and practical parenting tips are among the topics touched on. Many days in the journal have a great section called "Did You Know"; for example, from Day 49: "The baby's arms at this point are only as long as this printed 1." At the bottom of each page is a quote from a literary or historical figure; some are sentimental, some pithy, some humorous, all inspiring. Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the Newborn - If you only buy one childbirth book, this is the one. It covers all aspects of childbearing from conception through early infancy, including what to expect during pregnancy and birth and how you can work with your caregivers to make childbirth a happy and healthy experience. |
