YOUR DEVELOPING BABY: Conception to Birth PETER M. DOUBILET, CAROL B. BENSON, AND ROANNE WEISMAN
Having answered questions for anxious parents-to-be for decades, radiologists Doubilet and Benson decided to write a book about babies in the womb. The growth of the fetus' organs, skeletal and digestive systems, brain, and heart is explained alongside ultrasound images and diagrams. The brain, for example, is tracked in a series of 2-D ultrasound images from the second and third trimesters, as it quadruples in length and goes from smooth to bumpy and furrowed. A spectral Doppler ultrasound portrays the flow of blood between mother and baby through the umbilical cord. Writer Weisman collaborated with the doctors to create an accessible and captivating text that guides readers through 9 months of pregnancy. McGraw Hill, 2008, 185 p., b&w photos and color illus., paperback, $18.95.
