Prenatal Development and Birth

Child Development Media » Development » Prenatal Development and Birth

The prenatal period is one of the most important parts of the lifecycle. It begins with the moment the couple decides to become parents and continues until the baby is born. This is the first stage of development, and it is divided into three periods, or trimesters. With knowledge of this period of development, expecting mothers can make appropriate lifestyle choices to help ensure the health of developing baby.

The titles in this section can help answer the many questions that linger in an expecting parent’s mind, and can help parents know what to expect during the prenatal period. Also included are titles dealing with the newborn baby, their special needs, and activity-based titles that offer parents ideas to enhance and expand the growing family’s experience.
