1) Life before birth - The challenges of Fetal Development

The book is about the fetus growing according to an intricate & sensitive program. It responds to sound and light from the outside. It thrives in rhythm with the mothers eating, drinking, sleeping, exercise and smoking. It uses the placenta as a lung, a gut, and a kidney, while the dividing cells give instructions to one another so that each arrives at the proper place in the fetus's body. Thus at last it is the fetus who signals the mother to start the process of birth.
