This is the excellent television program that the book is based on. It aired on the National Geographic Channel in early 2006. The neat thing about this program is that you can see the movement of the child in the womb through 4-D ultrasounds (3-D + time), which is a relatively new innovation. So there's a lot more to be learned from looking at behavior in the womb and stuff like that.

This is a terrific pregnancy calendar. But keep in mind that, as noted in the intro, the calculation of dates is a little different.

This is the equivalent of What to Expect for fathers.

Very silly title, but it's supposed to be funny, engaging, and informative for men. Amazon.com customers liked it. (I have not read this one.)

A beautiful new photography book--not just about developing babies. Large-format coffeetable book.

This is the 1996 remake of "Life's Greatest Miracle," which also uses Lennart Nilsson's photography. The National Geographic Channel's program is the most up to date with the current science. But the images in all three are stunning and moving. Of all of them, this one seems the most like a classroom teaching video.

The best general-interest book about the science of pregnancy. No photographs. Written by a noted scientist in the field. Lots of stuff in here about evolution and genetics. Some comparisons with other animals, which are interesting. The emphasis is on the first trimester, since that's where the real interesting stuff occurs. Later, the baby's just growing and getting bigger for the most part....

This is an excellent book about more or less the first year of a child's mental development. Really makes you appreciate the small steps a child must make along the way to language and reasoning. Very accessible and readable.

A popular, follow-up book by the What to Expect authors.
