Newborn kittens can crawl, killer whales can swim, and baby elephants can walk. Human cubs are born unadapted and require enormous resources in their first year of life.
Raising a healthy and happy human being—while maintaining a career, well-being, and peace of mind—is a colossal undertaking, despite advances in medicine and rising living standards. As a result, many choose not to have children at all: everything is complicated, and there are already nearly 8 billion of us on the planet. Science journalist, science popularizer, and young mother Asya Kazantseva would have been very surprised if anyone had told her five years ago that she would want a child so early. This book, her fourth, is special: in it, the author, as always, professionally and engagingly, discusses recent research in embryology, neonatology, and in vitro fertilization; the real and mythical risks for mother and fetus; and the possibilities and limitations of modern medicine. But that's not all. It is also a personal story of the most important decision in life and the beginning of a great love.
