I was so glad to read when pregnant with our first child and loved it so much that I reread it when expecting our second. I didn't find the style at all emotionally loaded; the research was, I felt, discussed and summarised in a relaxed and very readable manner. It helped me think about my child, really got the oxytocin circulating and so I feel , helped me bond with them before I had even seen them.
A wonderful present for expectant parents.

I thought this book had some really interesting things to say and it taught me a lot I hadn't known about the gestation period of a baby. However I did think that the book was quite emotionally loaded. By stressing what harm you can do to a baby if you are feeling stressed or under pressure yourself I felt it could put an added burden onto a mother's shoulders. Pregnancy is often a difficult and emotional time for a woman and it's bad enough feeling bad yourself every time you break down or get angry when you wouldn't normally, without having to then think that your child could be suffering as well. I think it is admirable that the author is trying to put across the point of view of the child but I think that there needs to be more balance and understanding of the mother's position too.

This book is obviously written by someone who really knows what he is talking about. It is about psychology - a big difference to the numerous "how to be a parent" webites and books which are mainly concerned with physical development.
