The Unborn Child is essential reading for parents, potential parents and grandparents, as well as professionals with responsibility for children, and bringing babies into the world. This book describes prenatal and perinatal development, considering the legacy of health from both parents and grandparents. It explores the effects of the mother's mental and physical state during pregnancy, on the physiology and psychology of her expected child. The earlier in a child's development, beginning paradoxically before conception, that the wisdom of experience and science is applied, the greater the chances of a child's mental and physical health for life. Understanding these issues offers a way of healing early problems that contribute to such disorders as depression or compulsive behaviour. Here are invaluable guidelines towards generating children with their full genetic potential for basic health and emotional stability. This fascinating book is rooted in the experience of both authors, complete with authoritative case studies and scientific references. It has been extensively updated and restructured by the author, who has added entirely new material on nutrition from before conception.

The nutrition of an individual during gestation and the first two years of life—the first 1,000 days—sets the stage for lifelong health. Nutrition quality and quantity in this period can influence the risk of developing diseases that constitute today’s epidemics. Early-life nutrition can program the body’s tissues, organ structure and function, and metabolic and immunologic responses. These factors impact growth, development and cognition, and the risk of cardiovascular diseases, allergies and obesity. The first part of Early Nutrition and Long-Term Health examines the mechanisms by which early nutrition affects the risk of developing these conditions. The second part of this book reviews specific non-communicable diseases (NCDs) associated with early nutrition. The third part discusses the effects of nutritional programming from fetal life to toddlerhood. Prevention of over- or undernutrition in early life, rather than dietary, behavioral or therapeutic interventions in later life, is likely to have a greater return on society’s investment in coping with the modern epidemic of NCDs. Examines the relation between early life nutrition and long-term health Covers the mechanistic aspects of nutritional programming and its impact on risk of chronic non-communicable diseases Reviews associations between infant and child diet and its effect on growth, development, cognition and later occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, allergies, metabolic conditions and obesity

In den letzten Jahrzehnten wurden weltweit Konzepte entwickelt, einen Teil der vorgeburtlich diagnostizierten Erkrankungen bereits intrauterin zu behandeln. Manche dieser Methoden sind bereits etabliert, bei den anderen handelt es sich um vielversprechende experimentelle Ansätze. Dieser Entwicklung soll das vorliegende im deutschsprachigen Raum einzigartige Basiswerk Rechnung tragen. National und international renommierte Experten auf dem Gebiet der Pränatalen Medizin und Fetalchirurgie beschreiben umfassend die Erkrankungsbilder und ihre intrauterinen Behandlungsmethoden. Die wichtigsten Therapieschemata sind prägnant hervorgehoben und die Operationsmethoden ausführlich bebildert, so dass sich das Werk auch für den Einsatz im klinischen Alltag eignet. In this book, nationally and internationally recognized experts in prenatal medicine and fetal surgery present a comprehensive description of prenatally diagnosed conditions and intrauterine methods to treat them. The most important therapeutic approaches are highlighted succinctly and surgical methods are illustrated in detail, making the work appropriate for use in day-to-day clinical practice.

This title argues that the meanings people attribute to the fetus are not based simply on biological fact or theological truth, but are in fact strongly influenced by competing definitions of personhood and identity, beliefs about knowledge and authority, and assumptions about gender roles and sexuality.
