Ein einzigartiger dreidimensionaler Blick auf das Verhalten und die Entwicklung eines Kindes im Mutterleib. Das Buch enthüllt mithilfe moderner Ultraschallmethoden die Entwicklung und das Verhalten des Fötus während der Schwangerschaft. Dank dreidimensionaler und vierdimensionaler Ultraschallbilder können Sie sehen, wie das ungeborene Kind wächst – an Gewicht zunimmt, Fingernägel und Haare entwickelt und menschliche Formen annimmt. Einzigartige Aufnahmen dokumentieren zudem, dass das ungeborene Kind lächeln, die Stirn runzeln, gähnen kann und zeigen, wie es an den Daumen lutscht und beginnt, seine Finger zu erkennen. Es wird auch sichtbar, wie es mit der Umgebung im Mutterleib interagiert – und das viel früher, als man denken würde. Dieses Buch wird Ihnen die Augen öffnen.
