Book Reviews of Your Developing Baby, Conception to Birth: Witnessing the Miraculous 9-Month Journey (Harvard Medical School Guides)

Book Review: River Falls Books
Summary: 4 Stars

The book itself was fine, it did have one page that was slightly wrinkled, but the service left much to be desired. I ordered my book on January 5, 2009. I received an email the following day saying the book would be shipped either the 6th or 7th and I could expect to receive it between January 12 and 28. On January 28, at 5pm, I still hadn't received my book and was quite annoyed, so I sent an email to River Falls Books. They responded saying that the post office didn't recognize our zip code, and they had sent an email telling me that. We have never had problems receiving mail, but we live on the border of two cities, and our zip code is used mainly for the neighboring city, so I could understand if the city and zip didn't match, but why was the zip code itself unrecognizable? The reason I really had a problem is because my job is to take care of the internet orders at the quilt shop I work at, so I know how this should work. And our policy is that if there is a problem with the order, we call or email at least every other day, until we hear back from the customer, and if we never hear back, we refund them their money. River Falls Books only sent one email that more than likely went straight to my junk folder, and when they didn't get a response, did not try to contact me again by email or phone, and also did not refund my money. To me, that is just irresponsible business. If you can't deliver on what you say you will, and you can't reach the customer, at least give them their money back.

Awarded the iParenting Media Award for Excellent Product of 2008!

Experience the miracle of life-with your own eyes

Congratulations, parents-to-be! You're about to embark on a momentous journey. Even more exciting, you're the first generation of parents who-thanks to 3D and conventional ultrasound-can actually "see" your child before he or she is born. This wonderful, one-of-a-kind guide, written by two Harvard professors, takes you through every stage of your baby's development, from conception to delivery-with more than 200 images and drawings to illustrate each glorious moment.

Get a guided tour of a baby's journey with:

  • Breathtaking 3D images of babies' faces, limbs, and other features
  • Detailed 2D ultrasounds of developing organs and bones inside the body
  • Visual pointers on what to look for, and what you're seeing, on the screen

With this illuminating guide, you'll be able to see how doctors determine if your baby is a boy or girl and whether you're having twins or multiples. You'll be able to watch the growth of your baby's hands, feet, heart, head, and more. Best of all, you'll be able to actively participate in the greatest journey of all: from single cell to bringing a new baby into the world.

Library Journal starred review:
"Using 250 diagnostic ultrasound images, Harvard radiology professors Doubilet and Carol B. Benson present a marvelous book charting the growth of babies in the womb. . . . The authors well explain the different types of ultrasound and their medical uses, especially the 3D images that show the baby's outer surface and the 2D images revealing the internal development of organs. This virtual tour of a life in the making will attract future parents in droves."
--Janet M. Schneider, James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital, Tampa, FL
