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.

5Okay  Oct 22, 2009
Good book, but not what I had expected. "Dudes Handbook" much better and more realistic than this book.

4Good advice for the 1st time dad.  Oct 16, 2009
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!
