The miracle of life--for a new generation.
This is the Fifth Edition of the Beloved international classic, which teams Nilsson\'s classic medical photographs with new documentary photographs by Linda Forsell and a Revised text by professor Lars Hamberger and midwife Gudrun Abascal..
First published nearly fifty years ago, A Child Is Born broke astonishing new ground, bringing the magic of pregnancy and birth to life.
The book also describes pregnancy from a parent\'s perspective, diving into maternity care, health during pregnancy, prenatal testing, and labor and delivery.
Through the unique photographs of Lennart Nilsson, we see the fascinating process of fertilization unfold and watch as an embryo develops from a tiny cluster of cells into a fetus, growing and maturing day by day until the time comes to meet the world outside the womb.
An egg and sperm meet and a new human being is created.
Deep inside a woman\'s body, a miracle occurs.
The completely Revised Fifth Edition of the Beloved classic offers an astonishing glimpse of the world within the womb alongside authoritative advice for expectant parents.
