A Sinhala-language account of pregnancy written for general readers by Prof. Athula Kaluarachchi of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Colombo. The text is in Sinhala throughout, so buyers outside Sri Lanka should be comfortable reading the language before ordering.
The book follows the development of a child from conception through to delivery. It sets out, step by step, how the foetus and then the newborn grow, drawing on current medical science but putting it in plain terms rather than clinical language. Diagrams accompany the explanations.
Its organising idea sits in the subtitle — a child's question to its mother, asking whether she knows how it is growing — and that line is carried into every chapter, giving the sequence a consistent shape as the stages advance.
Written by a specialist in obstetrics and gynaecology for an audience without medical training, it is aimed at expectant mothers and families who want to understand what is happening at each stage, explained simply and in Sinhala. Published by M. D. Gunasena & Co. (Pvt) Ltd of Colombo.
