Summary: A Parody, What to expect when your wife is expanding
Review: I guess the most important thing to observe before buying this book is that it's a parody. I hadn't noticed the parody label on the top right hand corner of the book. Therefore I was dissapointed when I found that I had ordered my husband a parody on pregnancy. If that is what you are looking for, I would suggest buying the book.

Summary: THE PERFECT GIFT
Review: I ran across this book a few days after I found out that my brother-in-law and his wife were expecting their first child. It was the perfect title and the book's message was loud and clear: Your life will never be the same and don't forget that your wife will need more love and support than ever. This is a funny book with a real-life message.

Summary: Unbelievably Funny!
Review: I sat down in the food court at the local mall and started reading the book and I laughed so hard that people stopped and stared at me. My husband is going to love this. I'd give it a million stars and recommend this book to any expectant father.

Summary: Hope you men don't follow his advice
Review: I thought I'd order my husband a few books to get him started on some facts about pregnancy. I don't mind a few wise cracks/jokes about pregnant women, but this book was appalling. Telling you not to bother going to most of the doctor visits. Couvade Syndrome is described as a mental/sympathetic state of mind & body where the man takes on symptoms of pregnancy(nausea,fatigue,etc). I don't know what the stats are on this or how often it happens, but the author says to avoid this you should avoid feeling sypathetic to your wife. Is this guy kidding? I know the book is supposed to be funny, but are there any real facts in this book, or is it all one big joke, cause if any of the men think to take this advice, they'll end up on the curb. Pregancy is a scary & exciting thing for a man & woman. You should both have knowledge of what's goind on medically & mentally. Seems like this book is more of a joke than informational. I'm definitely not letting my husband read this one. I can't trust he'll decipher the jokes from the facts.

Summary: Little useful information, but really funny.
Review: I thought it was funny. For the wife, you might also buy this parody: "Expect the Unexpected When You're Expecting!"
Rating: 
Summary: Funny, but not informative
Review: If you are just looking for a book that will make you laugh, this is a good on, but if you want one that actually has some good information about pregnancy, try another one. It hs a lot of sarcastic humor , that yes made me laugh, but I also wanted some real tips for my husband.

Summary: The "all men are idiots" guide to pregnancy.
Review: If you think that "typical male" is a cute compliment, you might like this book. It assumes a father is basically a complete moron perfectly happy to allow the mother of his child to do it all, while he kicks back with a beer. (in fact, I believe it recommends this practice) If that sounds like you, buy this book. Otherwise, stay away, STAY AWAY!! It's trite, idiotic, and insultingly chauvinistic. Perhaps a good book for football buddies to buy for each other as a joke. You know, with the big bottle of aspirin and the six pack.

Summary: This book scared my husband
Review: If your husband is even the slightest bit jumpy, and worries about all of the bad things related to pregnancy (money, etc.), then by all means, keep this book away from him. After reading the first two or three pages, I noticed my husband become paler and paler. I thought the book was perfectly fine, and kinda funny, but I guess this is proof that this is not the book for every husband.

Summary: Book for a Man with a Pregnant Wife Who Wants a Divorce
Review: If your wife is expecting and you are a chauvanist pig, you might really enjoy this book. Especially if you have no respect for your wife and are looking for a rocky marriage. I was fooled into buying this book and seriously regret it. Save your money! It's full of negative remarks about women in general and assumes that a man and a wife cannot be friends. It is suppposed to be a parody yet is not funny in the smallest way. I would be willling to wager that the author of the book is no longer married, if he ever was.

Summary: First Month: Buy this book
Review: It took me too long to finish this book ... because my wife kept stealing it since it was a lot more fun than any of her pregnancy books! However, I just finished this easy read, and I couldn't help but recommend this to fathers-to-be. Let's be clear: this isn't an instruction manual or anything to take too seriously. It is a very fun, month-by-month account of pregnancy. For the people who gave it low ratings, maybe you were looking for too much out of it ... this book isn't going to stop your wife's morning sickness and it isn't going to teach you the secret to triple your income before the baby is born. However, it might lighten what can be a time of emotional highs and lows, filled with fear, ecstasy, anxiety and elation, often all at the same time. Seriously, there are plenty of good books out there which give great suggestions for how to handle the upcoming changes in your lives. Check out "The Expectant Father" or books of that ilk ... but to loosen up a little bit and have fun while getting involved in the pregnancy, get this book. Just don't read any of it to your wife until you've finished it, or you won't see it until she's finished reading it herself.
