WOW an amazing look on the effects you have on your unborn, January 25, 2002
This review is from: Prenatal Parenting: The Complete Psychological and Spiritual Guide to Loving Your Unborn Child (Hardcover)
Dr. Wirth is a physician with a true passion for what he does. As a perinatalogist/neonatologist, he's worked closely with premature babies and thus has been able to study closely why they have been born under early circumstances. His findings are well supported by research both on the field and within his own findings.
He explains clearly, in layman's terms, how the mother and her partner have a HUGE influence on laying the architectural framework of the baby's brain while they are still in-utero, that is, still in the mother's womb. The parent's attitudes, emotions, mental health, and spiritual health greatly impact the laying down of this framework, and ultimately affect your child's temperement, disposition, personality, ability to deal with stress, etc...
This book not only educates you about the developmental processes at work, but does so in a manner that is interesting, and nothing at all like a boring didactic schoolbook. Not only for those who want to prevent a premature birth, but also for those who wish to bring their baby into this world with the advantage of feeling loved, secure, balanced, and ready to learn with an easy disposition that can ultimately have a lifetime effect well into adulthood. Dr. Wirth will show you how to be at peace, be happy, be positive, and be spiritual during this important time.
Not only for expectant mothers, but for their partners, family members, the grandparents, or simply anyone who is fascinated by the human bonds which can be created during conception and during the formative years thereafter.

This book changed my pregnancy/life, July 25, 2003
This review is from: Prenatal Parenting: The Complete Psychological and Spiritual Guide to Loving Your Unborn Child (Hardcover)
Without getting into too many details of my pregnancy and why it was so stressful, I want to share how much this book meant to me. I was suddenly single 4 mos into my pregnancy and cried for the next 2 months solid. I accidently came across this book while I was heading for the self-help section at a bookstore and the title jumped out at me. It caused a complete 180 degree change in my attitude. It helped me to focus on "parenting my unborn daughter". Every emotion I experienced, I shared with my daughter, and I had to control those emotions and provide her with the best environment to grow. It helped me to understand the development, both physical and mental, of my daughter.I read quite a few baby books (What to expect... etc.) while I was pregnant, but this was so different, and I learned more of what was happening inside me and inside of my daughter in this one book. I also learned how to parent the child before she was even born. I learned how to express my love (and the very real affects of my love on my daughter) to someone who couldn't show it back yet. I learned more about myself. I buy this book for every new parent out there. My daughter is now 16 mos old, and I still read it and get something out of it everytime.

This is a life changing Program!!, November 5, 2004
This review is from: Prenatal Parenting: The Complete Psychological and Spiritual Guide to Loving Your Unborn Child (Hardcover)
I was introduced to Dr. Wirth's work at a convention. His whole pregnancy approach to building a better life for the baby through the "Peaceful Womb" and getting Dad and Mom fully involved with making time for the baby before the baby is born, was a new concept to most in the lecture. The idea of "Fetal Love Breaks" every day, the Exercise videos and relaxing CDs that go with the program are great. I really enjoyed attending the Prenatal Parenting Program classes, too. Until you experience Dr. Wirth's peaceful concept of creating greater neurological development in the baby's brain through greater couple communication, it is difficult to understand how very deeply we are involved daily with the cellular creation of this baby. Thank you Dr. Wirth for creating the Prenatal Parenting Program with all the Classes, books, workbooks, tapes and CD's to support our learning about the importance of conscious creation and birth of the peaceful child. I know it has changed my life and the lives of many babies, children and mothers.
