About this product

Product Information

This indispensable book explores the emotional, financial, and even physical changes the father-to-be may experience during his partner's pregnancy. Written in an easy-to-absorb format and filled with sound advice and practical tips for men on such topics as, how to make sense of your conflicting emotions, how pregnancy affects your sex life, and how to start a college fund. This volume reassures, commiserates, and informs. It also incorporates the wisdom of top experts in the field,from obstetricians and birth-class instructors to psychologists and sociologists. This new edition features the latest research on many topics (and there's a ton of it), from expanding sections on overcoming infertility, in vitro, artificial insemination, and other tech-assisted pregnancies, especially where dad is not the biological parent, to updating the sections on childbirth to reflect the fact that about 80 percent of deliveries are now done with epidurals and new information on c-sections as well. Sections on prenatal communication and education are also be expanded. There will be an overall, top-to-bottom review of the content to make sure all the information is relevant to today's young and senior dads.

  • I rate this book 'good' for the amount of information that is in the book!

    I read this book because my husband has read all of my what to expect books. I wanted to know how is the male advice different from the female advices. My husband was a little scared by the book I was amazed at the variety of categories it goes through. It has all your usual ones like what to pack for the hospital, how to deal with the mom before and after birth, and what baby items you'll need. It also includes recipes (mostly vegetarian so pretty healthy) for when dad needs to cook themselves. It also touches on shared responsibility of taking care of the baby with a working spouse. Overall it touches alot of topics that you need and some you never thought of. I rate this book good for the amount of information that is in the book.

  • Good resource, easy read!

    This is a great book with a lot of very useful information for not only the father, but also the mother. I purchased this book for my husband to do some reading of his own before our daughter was born, and it turned out being nice having him educate ME on things he learned from the book. Good resource, easy read.
