W. Covington "tisturod" (south west) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Life Before Birth: Normal Fetal Development, 2e (Paperback)

This book of "specimens" was very horrific as a mother. Pictures of cut open fetus abdomens, cut out cross sections of the uterus, fetuses cut in half to show spine and rib structure. Not for the average reader!!! NOT for the expectant mother!!! Try "a child is born" for pictures of babies ALIVE and growing in the womb, much better choice for the curious reader who wants to see growth stages and fetal development.

This book is great because it shows fetal development in each state. Good pictures and very informative. Everyone should take a look.
