Newborn kittens can crawl, orcas can swim, and elephants can walk. A human baby is born unfit and requires enormous resources in the first year of life.
Raising a healthy and happy human being - without losing your career, your well-being and your sanity - is a colossal job, despite medical advances and rising living standards. As a result, many people decide not to have children at all: it's complicated, and there are already almost 8 billion of us on the planet. Science journalist, popularizer of science and young mother Asya Kazantseva would be very surprised if five years ago she was told that she would want a child so early. This book, her fourth, is special: in it the author, as always, professionally and fascinatingly, talks about recent research in the field of embryology, neonatology and in vitro fertilization; about real and mythical risks for mother and fetus; about 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.
