Editorial Review:
Your baby is yet to be born . . . but she's listening, learning, and aware of the outside world!
Traditionally, the world of an as-yet-unborn baby was thought to be an isolated and silent one. It was assumed that, asleep and growing in its mother's womb, the developing baby was incapable of experiencing sight, sound, thought, or emotion. In fact, the truth is very different, as bestselling author Nikki Bradford reveals here. Drawing on the latest research by leading authorities in the field, the author explains how the unborn baby's awareness of the outside world develops rapidly from very early in pregnancy.
Did you know that unborn babies respond to sound, and duck away from strong light, as early as 16 weeks? That they have been observed shying away from--and even attacking--an amniocentesis needle at around the same time? That babies follow moving light sources with their hands by 20 weeks? Or that they recognize music and nursery rhymes from 33 weeks?
The Miraculous World of Your Unborn Baby not only offers you unique insights into your child's remarkable mental and physical developments in the womb, but also provides wide-ranging information on pregnancy and childbirth. This information is featured in comprehensive sections on: - How babies grow, week-by-week: Stunning color photographs enable you to follow the physical development of your baby. Did you know that the first heartbeat can be detected at about five weeks, and that fingernails appear by ten weeks?
- Your pregnancy and birth: Just how does the body cope with it all? Advice and information are provided on every stage of pregnancy.
- What babies can do in the womb: The latest research findings about unborn babies' emotional awareness and learning abilities; the evidence of communication (and telepathy) between babies and mothers.
- What unborn babies know: What babies hear, sense, experience, dream--and remember--about being born and being in the womb. Looks at babies' emotional development, including reactions to your various moods.
Nikki Bradford has written The Miraculous World of Your Unborn Baby in consultation with leading experts in the field: San Diego-based Dr. David B. Chamberlain, President of the International Association for Pre- and Perinatal Psychology and Health, and arguably the world authority on prenatal psychology; Professor Geoffrey Chamberlain, past President of the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in the United Kingdom; and Dr. Sammy Lee, an acclaimed London-based consultant embryologist.

I kept this book handy through two pregnancies and have lent it to many friends. The pics are awesome! The text is imformative. This and the what to expect books are all an expectant mom need on her night table.
Rating: - A book that only New Age mothers will appreciate
This book reminded me of a Hallmark card. It's filled with pastel color-pencil drawings of floating babies, photos of couples in flowery outfits joyfully embracing each other and articles on topics like "What Your Baby Dreams About." If like your baby info with fuzzy pictures and without cold, hard facts or edgy, ironic humor, then this is the book for you. However, the book is hard to get through -- it kind of rambles along in an unfocused way. That said, an early section on fertilization, which ... Read More
Rating: - A conservative view
If you want to find great pictures of unborn babies, this book has them. However, I really disliked the pictures of all the bare moms and dads. There was a whole chapter (short) of pictures and drawings of nude couples. Also a lot of women in underwear. If I had known, I probably would not have ordered this book, now I'm trying to censor the whole thing, so I can show it to my husband and kids.
I would otherwise agree with the other reviews. Great baby pictures, lots of nifty little facts ... Read More
Rating:  - MotherTreeBirth.com Recommends!
Did you know that as early as 12 weeks old, your unborn baby has all the growing senses to know you--to hear the sound of your voice, to suck it's thumb, to be lulled to sleep by your loving rock, to play with you?
Our doulas have used this book to share with many clients how to understand, play with and love their babies right from the start. We believe parenting begins at conception, and this is a book that finally shows the science behind the intuition.
Blessings,
