Description
At sixteen weeks the unborn child shies away from light. At twenty weeks there is a response to speech patterns. At twenty-five weeks the baby can kick in time to music. And at six months the unborn baby can understand the subtle shifts of its mother's emotions. The Secret Life of the Unborn Child presents for the first time the challenging results of two decades of painstaking international research into the earliest stages of life. Dr Verny's knowledge gives both mothers and fathers an show more unparalleled opportunity to help their unborn children. Now they can contribute actively - before and during birth - to giving their child happiness and security for the rest of his or her life. show lessTags

This book reveals "startling new evidence" that your unborn baby is capable of learning, warning you of medical problems, hearing and responding to voices and sounds, etc.
I personally did not enjoy this book because it made me feel guilty during my pregnancy. The author's claims leave you believing that your unborn child knows everything that's going on in your life, feels every emotion that you do, etc. I'm probably exaggerating, but that's the effect it had on me.
I recommend this book if you're interested in what the research suggests, or if you're pregnant and have a peachy-keen life and you're not susceptible to anxiety.
