Summary: 5 Stars
What a cool book! We are able to "peek inside" as our baby grows. Very interesting!Book Review: Not quite what I had hoped
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this book because our OB office had given us a magazine that had the pictures in it from the book. The pictures are incredible - there is no doubt however a lot of time is spent on the pre-conception and actual birth and less than I'd like to see on the fetal development. I don't really feel that I need to see a heat photograph of a man & woman in foreplay - I am pregnant - pretty sure I know how it happened :-)
The fetal development is amazing to see but some pictures & information jumps over a 5 week span. I purchased the book since this is our second child - I was more interested in this than the typical - what to expect pregnancy books - so am slightly disappointed to have to wait another month at least before I can see another picture that is relevant to where I am in pregnancy. Also the information is written, I imagine, with European prenatal recommedations, so some is just not accurate (ie: - assuming that the 1st doctors appointment happens after the 1st trimester).
Overall it's a nice book - not quite what i had hoped, but well worth purchasing for the price here on amazon.
Either way I like the book, but the labor pictures are pretty graphic - and most of the women are completely naked.
Book Review: Good book
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked the book and the progess of the fetus each week. I like being able to compare my ultrasound photos to the ones in the book. It made the little baby look like a human when you could hold the photos side by side.
The only thing i could have lived without and why I hesitate putting on my coffee table is the photos of child birth...being a first time mother i wasn't exactly excited about how graphic some of the photos were of the actual birth. I don't think my poor husband will want to see some of them. The whole process kind of scares him anyway and seeing 80's photos of women with nothing on shooting a baby out isn't exactly comfortable for him. In a lot of the pictures the woman look in pain and not doing well.
Otherwise love the book. Great photos...i wonder how they took some of them.
