A Child Is Born is a 1965 photographic book by Swedish photojournalist Lennart Nilsson. The book consists of photographs charting the development of the human embryo and fetus from conception to birth; it is reportedly the best-selling illustrated book ever published. Nilsson's photographs are accompanied by text, written by doctors, describing prenatal development and offering advice on antenatal care. The images were among the first of developing fetuses to reach a wide popular audience.

A Child is Born follows the everyday life of an expecting couple, and lets us see how the foetus develops over the nine-months of pregnancy. Today, A Child is Born is one of the world’s bestselling photo books and has influenced millions of people’s attitudes to life and childbirth

First published in 1965, "A Child Is Born" offered an unprecedented glimpse of life inside the womb. This fourth edition brings improved photographic technology and a revised text to this awe-inspiring journey from fertilization to birth. Lennart Nilsson uses a new high-definition ultrasound technique, scanning electron and light microscopes, and advanced fibre optics to make an unparalleled record of the unseen world within our bodies. Here, in a series of close-up images, the miracle of human reproduction unfolds: the egg travelling down the fallopian tube; the sperm racing to meet it; the moment of fertilization; the very first cell division; the tiny embryo attaching to the uterine wall; the growth of eyes, ears, fingers and toes; and finally the moment of delivery itself - give an astonishing glimpse of the first moments of life. The updated text also features authoritative advice for new parents, plus information on recent advances in fertility treatments, state-of-the-art testing, genetics, environmental factors and pregnancy health.

This book is fantastic! The images are spectacular, it reads like a well-written magazine article, and it provides enough information to really understand what's going on, without feeling like a textbook. It has a solid backing in scientific and practical information, and I recommend it to everyone - just know what you're getting before you buy:

1. This is a wonderful book about the human body. If you think the human body is offensive, do not buy this book. Yes, it has pictures of women giving birth. Yes, they're naked. If this offends you, I question your need for this book in the first place, but you might be happier with Watch Me Grow, which is sweet and informative, without subjecting you to the harsh reality of the human form. It would be quite a sacrifice in image quality, though. 3D ultrasound just doesn't compare to real optical photos.

2. This was not written for your 5-year-old. This book assumes that its audience already knows where babies come from. This is a fantastic book that the whole family can enjoy together, but you may not want to leave the younger ones alone with it or you'll have some serious explaining to do. The more adult sections might help with "the talk" with your teen, but if your child believes a smiling stork will fly by and drop off a new sibling, keep this book in the top cabinet with the cleaning solvents.

3. Some of the photos are old. This book has been in print for a long time. Lennart Nilsson has been doing his work for even longer. I was surprised at how many new images there were, but don't be alarmed when you see a few classics as well. No need for reservations - they are some of the most amazing.

4. You are not supporting abortion by buying this book (as implied by some 1-star reviews). It is not a gallery of dead babies, it is a gallery of life in all its glory. On pg 326 it is explicitly stated that there are "no photographs of embryos or fetuses aborted by medical or surgical means." Some of the photos are indeed from miscarriages. Of course miscarriages are very sad, but what better way to honor these poor undeveloped individuals than to immortalize them in such a spectacular setting? In a way, these unfortunate souls accomplished more benefit to society in their few weeks of life than some do in many decades.

If these five concepts do not bother you, you will fall in love with this book. It is everything a pregnancy book should be. It's a great buy not only for expectant parents, but for anyone who has ever been a fetus. Buy with confidence.

I received the original book many years ago when I was having my first child. I have been giving it as a gift ever since to colleagues, relatives or friends who are expecting. The new version has amazing pictures and excellent information on the growth of the baby. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn about the growth and development of a baby.

I absolutely loved this book! I feel like there are so many "novel" type pregnancy books out there but this is more of a science book. With photos and interesting to the point facts. It goes through every aspect of pregnancy, from start to finish. It was well written and beautifully documented. I highly recommend it!

This is a book I grew up with. As the oldest of six children there were lots of babies and baby books around the house. A Child is Born was a book I pored over as a child, exploring the miracle of birth as we excitedly awaited a new sibling. When I became pregnant with my first child this was the book I wanted first. My mother's original copy is long gone so I found this new, updated version. It has the same wonderful and updated information and beautiful photos. I only wish it were as big as the original copy we had as kids. This version is a bit smaller than the coffee table sized book we had. The larger scale just gives greater justice to the beauty of the photographs. This is the only book I've found that gives a full understanding of your baby's development at various stages without overwhelming detail. It's a great resource that I pull out regularly as we enter each new stage. It isn't full of baby advice, but rather follows the miracle of birth from a scientific point tracking development with beautifully detailed photographs.

I truly adore this book - back when my first son was born in 1982, I used it as a guide as to what was happening inside my body. The pictures are incredible and instructional; my three-year-old granddaughter is expecting twin siblings so we were looking through/discussing what was happening in mommy's body. It was great to have photos to show her/teach her with. Bodies are awesome - from conception to death. Enjoy!

When I was a girl, my mom had an earlier version of this book. It was fascinating! There were so many pictures of the different stages of development. This newer version has fewer pictures. I bought it so my grandson could see what his baby brother “looks like” as he is growing in mommy’s tummy, but I think he will be bored with this book. I’m somewhat disappointed...

I have an original copy but this one is updated and much more detailed with many more photographs. I gave it to a young pregnant lady who is expecting her first child. She loves it and is keeping updated on the development of her child as she progresses through this happy time in her life.

Fantastic book. Had it during the 80s and it's still good today although upgrades have come to the market place. Better everything so more can be shown. I ordered one and received a kind of ratty copy of the original from that era. That's not what I had in mind when I ordered it. I'll wait a bit longer and order another one, better than the original. Doesn't pay to cut corners in some areas of a marketplace. :)
