This book is chock-full of goofy Swedish stock photography that had me giggling so much that I had coughing fits a couple times: obviously posed couples going through the motions of doing a home pregnancy test and being elated at the results, for instance. The inside-the-womb photography, however, was really stellar and I thoroughly enjoyed those photos.

As for the text, very detailed in regards to explaining what was what in each of the embryonic and fetal photographs. It amazes me that this process is so precise. How does it even happen? Amazing.

Beautiful

I bought this book as a reference for my oldest daughter to see what her little brother looked like at different weeks throughout the pregnancy. As far as that goal, this book was suitable. I do wish it had more week-by-week pictures and descriptions, rather than skipping a few weeks here and there. I know some weeks there isn't much of a change, but it still would have been nice.
The lovely photo of the placenta did a great job at testing my husbands gag reflex.
All-in-all, it wasn't a waste of money, and it will stay on the bookshelf for future reference.
