Summary: THE BEST WRITTEN & ILLUSTRATED BOOK ABOUT PREGNANCY & BIRTH
Comment: This book is recommended in the forward by Dr. Beth W. Lieberman "for all readers, both young and old."

There are 17 vividly illustrated pages which include all of the important, relevant facts in the most precise, succinct way I've EVER read. Simply stated, if you are pregnant or even curious about the birth process, you MUST have this book! If every book was written as well as this one I'd read at least 2-5 a day!

Here is a great quote from the 1st chapter which sets the tone:

THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH: "Every 55 minutes 10,000 babies are born all over the world. Many hundreds are being born right now as you read this book! What is even more amazing is that every one of those babies is different... But no matter how and where each child is born, to the parents, each one is a miracle."

The chapters include: 1) THE MIRACLE OF BIRTH 2) THE FEMALE BODY 3) THE BREASTS 4) MIGHTY MUSCLES 5) THE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM 6) A NEW LIFE BEGINS 7) THE EARLY WEEKS (2-4 WEEKS) 8) THE BABY'S LIFE-SUPPORT SYSTEM (4-8 WEEKS) 9) THE PLACENTA (8-12 WEEKS) 10) ULTRASOUND SCANS (12-20 WEEKS) 11) WHAT DOES A FETUS DO ALL DAY? (20-24 WEEKS) 12) THE LUNGS (24-28 WEEKS) 13) THE FINAL WEEKS (28-40 WEEKS) 14) LABOR 15) THE NEWBORN BABY.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK! When I got pregnant with Kaitlyn I was so fascinated by the birth process and pregnancy in general that I bought at least 10 books and THIS ONE was the BEST. As an added bonus, when she gets older I can use this book to explain to her how she grew inside me and was born!
