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 Simon House, who has added entirely new material on nutrition from before conception.
Roy Ridgway (1916-2000) was author of two groundbreaking books on prenatal and perinatal experiences and the effects of nutrition on babies in the womb. In the mid-1970s he directed the Sparsholt Psychotherapeutic Centre, Winchester. In the late 1970s he joined the British Medical Association secretariat and edited its publication, 'News Review'. He was a founder member of the Medical Campaign Against Nuclear Weapons and the UK-USSR Medical Exchange Programme. He was one of the executive staff who went to Oslo, in 1985, when the organization was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
