Of the books I've come across this is best at giving a week-by-week look at what is happening in utero without all of the heart-stopping "what could go wrong" twaddle.
Actually it's second best on the explanation and best on pictures. The best on at-a-glance week-by-week explanations is chapter 3 of Dad's Pregnant Too by Harlan Cohen.

This is a really fascinating companion book to the National Geographic documentary of the same title. My parents sent me this book, and Claire brought the DVD with her a week later. I especially recommend the DVD to really see the images clearly, but the book is also interesting. It chooses certain milestones during the embryo/fetus's development and describes what is happening in the images.
This book was very informative and I learned quite a bit of interesting information. I would recommend it to anyone that is trying to get pregnant, that is pregnant, or that has a child.
I wish this book had been out when I was pregnant. It gives amazing photos of a baby in utero week by week. While I was pregnant, I would read up on what was happening to my baby that week. I would have loved having these pictures to go along with it. This would be a good book to give as a gift to any pregnant woman.
I randomly found this book on the "new" shelf at the library, and was fascinated! My many pregnant friends might be interested as well ... detailed descriptions and images of a baby as it grows from conception to birth. God is so great!

This book is so cool! I can't wait to get pregnant again so I can use it as a reference of what is going on inside week by week. The photographs are awesome and the science is really interesting.
Very good details of embryology. It goes through every month of the baby's development.
OK I actually watched the movie so my rating refers to the movie!! I know I know this is a book review but I couldn't help myself. When I watched this while pregnant with my 1st baby I balled my eyes out at the absolute miracle it is to carry a child, truly a gift only God gives. It took us 5 years to have our 1st so we are that much more thankful.
