Summary: This is fatherhood for guys who flunked shop class.
Review: A noble effort and a great concept. However, with an over abundance of useless advice like "No fat Jokes." this is fatherhood for Idiots. If your the type of man who seriously needs to be reminded NOT to comment on the size of your wife's butt, then you need more help than this book can provide, but apparently that is who it is intended for.

Summary: This book is an insult to men everywhere

Summary: Mom from West Linn
Review: Having given birth to two children all I can say is "I wish my husband had this book when I was pregnant!" I bought this book for a co-worker whose wife is pregnant. It is so down-to-earth and humorous yet filled with all the medical info a guy needs to know. I couldn't believe how many of the issues and situations you go through in pregnancy mirrored what we went through; everything from the doctor's visits to baby showers to bringing home baby. Some of them may seem trivial but they are very real to a pregnant woman. I laughed out loud while reading this book. Run out and buy it for your husband now! Your pregnancy and relationship will benefit if he reads this book today!

Summary: Insulting!!!
Review: HORRID! DO NOT BUY! We would return it...had we not only spent $0.59 on it in the first place. This terrible book treats men like rude, purely self-centered, uninterested idiots. It talks to fathers-to-be as if they are going to be put out and annoyed by the entire pregnancy experience. This book tries to be funny, but instead falls way short, ending up being flat out disrespectful.

Summary: Relevant information presented with wit and humor
Review: I found this book to be very informative for the Father-To-Be. Every first time father should read this book in order to understand and more thoroughly enjoy his wife's/partner's pregnancy. Divided into forty chapters, one for each week of pregnancy, the reading is easy. I found myself heartily laughing,often. This book was given to me by my wife and we enjoyed the information it contained together. The book includes passages from couples interviewed specifically for their experiences related to pregnancy. Some of the incites the couples reveal are incredibly useful. In addition the quotes from the couples are very humorous. This book alleviated my fears, taught me a great deal about pregnancy, enabled me to enjoy my wife's pregnancy with her,and made me a better spouse and future father.

Summary: Mom from West Linn
Review: I got this book for my husband. I wasnted him to experience the pregnancy as much as I will. He reads it and actually enjoys it. It is easy to read, so he doesn't have to spend hours trying to get through it. And it tells him everything you would want him to know. I particulary like the suggestions about how he should act and treat the mom-to-be. Its funny, practical, and down to earth. Some things are a bit stereotypical and it sometimes generalizes, but for the most part I was very happy. It makes it easier when I talk to him, cause he can actually relate.

Summary: Lightening up any pregnancy for him and her
Review: I got this book from my wife when we were pregnant with our first. I have since lent it to another expecting couple and I am looking to give one as a gift soon.
The criticism here regarding the "no fat joke" is unwarranted as guys who really do not know better would not even touch a book like this; for starters, they would not get most of the jokes. From my experience the book is great for loosening up sometimes oh so serious and tight pregnancy discussions and at the same time getting some useful hints across. Both us and the other couple frequently were just laughing at the humor since it very often exactly describes the real-life situation and couples will recognize the little episodes experienced themselves after reading about them in an uncomplicated manner.

Summary: It brought my wife & I closer together at a difficult time.
Review: I groaned when my wife got me this book. Then, to appease her, I started to read it. And liked it. It was readable and funny. And then I realized it was very helpful. Maybe I should know all this stuff...but I didn't! The tips I learned brought my wife and I closer together during this difficult time. This is a MUST read for expecting dads.
