Rating: Summary: Reading this is the best gift a guy could give his partner Review: I've worked as a psychologist with lots of couples during their pregnancies and I wish this book had been available for the guys to read then. It's both fun and informative! I endorse it whole-heartedly.Even if guys just flip through this book at half time and during commercial breaks, their pregnant partners and their new babies will benefit!
Rating: Summary: GREAT BOOK!!!!! A MUST READ FOR NEW DADS. Review: It's an easy read. Packed with insightful facts. I was reading it in bed one night and my wife (who is pregnant obviously) wanted me to read out loud to her. After reading chapter 9 -- "Do I Look Fat and Other Trick Questions" to her she commented "That's Right! How does he know that?" I especially like the "Guy Talk" & "Girl Talk" inserts. This book is not just informative, it's a lot of fun. I recommend it highly and will be giving it as a gift to other "Dads-to-be". And guys, the author is right. Reading this book really does put you in good graces with your partner. The morning after I read to my wife, I was awakened to a very pleasant surprise. We had just entered into our second trimester if you know what I mean.

Rating: Summary: Not very informative, maybe humorous, maybe. Review: This book contains little information for the expectant father, that isn't already known or common sense. The author wants you to think this book, by a guy, is all guys need to know about the birthing process, but it seems like this book was written more to appease women, under the disguise of a guy's book. If you want a book that let's your wife think your interested, but contains little useful information and is easy to read, then this is it.
Rating: Summary: entertaining, yes; informative, not really Review: This book is actually like a series of jokes about the protypical disinterested, stupid male and he how he survive his wife's pregnancy by feigning interest. In one passage about dealing with your wife's changing body, the author lists "Avoid fat jokes." C'mon, are we so stupid that we need to read that? I would suggest readers check out Armin Brott's, The Expectant Father, instead. It is also entertaining, but aimed more at the serious father, and it provides useful information.
Rating: Summary: A Major Disappointment Review: This book treats men like we are idiots. Instead of providing worthwhile information the author fills the book with childish humor. I returned this book. Instead I will read one of my wife's pregnancy books. Those books provide me with worthwhile information explaining what my wife is going through. DO NOT waste your money.
Rating: Summary: Men's stories of how to make pregnancy a true partnership. Review: When my wife was pregnant, I often felt confused and isolated. I went to bookstores for help but couldn't find a good book about pregnancy for men. The books for women are terrific but pay little attention to the man's experience or concerns. In A GUY'S GUIDE TO PREGNANCY, I share the experiences and perspectives of regular guys at each stage in the process of pregnancy. This book can be a man's companion, helping him understand the changes pregnancy causes in his partner and in his relationship. A GUY'S GUIDE TO PREGNANCY will enable husbands to better meet their own and their wives' needs, making pregnancy a true partnership and setting the stage for a smooth transition into parenthood.
