Product Description
Since it was first published several years ago, The Expectant Father has become the indisputable leader in its field. It is an information-packed, month-by-month guide to all the emotional, financial, and yes, even physical changes the father-to-be may experience during the course of his partner's pregnancy. Incorporating the wisdom of top experts in the field, from obstetricians and birth-class instructors to psychologists and sociologists, The Expectant Father is filled with sound advice and practical tips for men, including how to afford a pregnancy; how to juggle work and family roles; how to make sense of your conflicting emotions; what childbirth classes don't teach you; ways to support and encourage your partner throughout the pregnancy; how to start a college fund; how pregnancy affects your sex life; how to deal with the obstacles society places in the way of involved fathers. In the revised and expanded second edition, authors Armin Brott and Jennifer Ash incorporate the latest statistics; update the Resources section to include the many relevant websites that have appeared since the first edition was published; introduce information for adoptive fathers-to-be; address the special concerns of fathers who are expecting twins, triplets, or more babies; and much more. The new edition, like the first, is illustrated with delightful cartoons that will keep even the most anxious fathers-to-be chuckling.

 Informative but worldly November 20, 2009
D. Shump (usa)
informative. would be nice if pregnancy was counted by weeks as all doctors do, not by month. definitely not written to encourage husbands, the woman is referred to as "partner". many views are of this world.
Good Book November 16, 2009
Peter Park
The book is organized by months of pregnancy and what to expect for each stage.
 Okay October 22, 2009
Douglas Kelley (Minnesota)
Good book, but not what I had expected. "Dudes Handbook" much better and more realistic than this book.
Good advice for the 1st time dad. October 16, 2009
Raymond Klynoot (Grand Prairie, TX United States)
My wife bought this for me for the birth of our first child. Very informative, sometimes humerous, and easy to read. I particuarly liked that it was broken down by months during the pregnancy. This allowed me to read a chapter or two at a time which covered the relevant time frame. I am now re-reading the book as a refresher as we are expecting our second child. I liked it well enough that I just bought a copy for a friend who is expecting his first child. This is a good book to ease your anxiety!

We received this book in the mail within a few short days after we placed our order. This book is very helpful and offers great advice for first time dads to me and in general. The book arrived in excellent condition as promised.
