Summary: Guidance to Understanding
Review: Excellent book to read. Gives a good "guidance" to understanding what you're wife is going thru. I read this book before giving it to my husband and I totally hope he reads all of it.

Summary: The title is reason alone to buy this book!
Review: My pregnancy was confirmed on my husband's birthday, and I had bought this book to give him as a gift. I don't think he found it nearly as amusing as I did! (Maybe it was all the notes I'd written in the margins...) I've since bought it for several friends' husbands upon finding out they were expecting, and it always gets some laughs. Anyway, the book has good, practical ideas; some common sense things that not all men might think about. It's a short book and very inexpensive, but I think it's worth the price for the few gems of information inside. BTW, my husband DID read it, and I was pampered my whole pregnancy long, though I'm not sure the book deserves credit for that.

Summary: Love, Support & Consideration creates a happy pregnancy
Review: This is a perfect gift book for Mother's Day and for Father's Day. The general comment from women who have seen this book has been, "Where was it when I was pregnant?" Pregnant fathers are looking for something that speaks to them in a manner which is quick to read and not condescending. Fathers, you owe it to yourself and your wife to read this book

Summary: A great look at how to keep your wife happy during pregnancy
Review: This is an excellent book, filled with practical advice, hints, and thoughts about how to keep your pregnant wife happy and content. The authors speak from experience, and they have plenty of that! Specifically, I found this book useful because it helped focus my positive energy on my wife's specific needs. It also contains a great deal of information about how to continue your physical relationship during pregnancy, which helped keep both my wife and I very happy! Finally, it is a great book to display prominently on your night stand or coffee table, as it labels you as a "caring and sensitive" husband, who is really interested in being a part of the pregnancy!Enjoy!

Summary: A great look at how to keep your wife happy during pregnancy
Review: This so-called book is more of a phamplet that doesn't focus on it's title, the need to pamper pregnant wives. It's more of a general book for pregnant husbands, in a super-condensed form. You can read this book in its entirity in one evening.

Summary: I agreed with my husband on this one!
Review: We don't always agree, but when he was reading this he told me how useless he thought it was. I was off sick one day and decided to read it myself. It was very simplistic and didn't contain any substantive advice. Unless you count aromatherapy suggestions and repeated advice that it's ok to have sex while your pregnant.

Summary: Looking Inside Your Wife's Pregnancy (X-Ray Vision)
Review: While containing some useful information, this book generally insults the reader's intelligence. Primarily a writer of children's books (see the Looking Inside/X-Ray Vision line), Schultz seems to have aimed this book at the sixth-grade level. Except for the very few expectant fathers in grade school, this demeans his audience's intellect. The first-person writing style is painfully awkward when a book is written by a father-and-son team. Schultz' grammar is embarrassingly poor for a "professional" writer, and his use of metaphor is atrocious Even a sixth-grader would wince at some of his sentences! Ironically, the book says very little about actual "pampering", which Schultz seems to take as a synonym for "support", "understanding" or "patience". Indeed the title seems to have been chosen as a marketing hook to attract female buyers rather than as a real indicator of its contents. My wife bought this book for me on he basis of the title. I read it cover-to-cover one night in a single sitting, thinking all the while how much I loved her. She was mortified the next morning when I read her excerpts, and allowed that she had woken up from time to time to hear me grumbling while I read it to myself. In my opinion, there's a good reason this book is out of print. You can do much better.
