Covers everything a first time father-to-be will want to know about pregnancy. (Junior Pregnancy & Baby Magazine )
Product Description
This book takes a 'warts and all' sensible yet humorous look at the many stages of pregnancy. It explores the changes, physical and emotional, that any man can expect to see in his partner and in their relationship over the coming months. Becoming pregnant involved two people. The rearing of a child will involve two people; there is every reason that your partner's pregnancy should also involve the two of you, together. For any man that has been put off reading pregnancy books because he doesn't feel he was the intended audience or that something about the tone of these books was alien to him , yet he still has questions that need answers; then The Blokes' Guide to: Pregnancy is the book he's been looking for.As a father himself, Jon Smith realised, when his partner Lisa became pregnant that there was nothing out there that he could relate to. The Bloke's Guide to Pregnancy is the result. Jon takes a comical yet informed look at the ups and downs of life as a father to be.

An estimable foray into the world of masculine perplexity,
This review is from: The Bloke's Guide To Pregnancy (Paperback)
As the only male nurse in our obstetrics dept' I contantly find myself being asked for advice & information from expectant fathers to be. Even when it is one of my more than competent female colleagues that is more directly responsible for caring for the mother. It seems that many F's2b, most of whom have already read significantly through the plethora of information out there, still hanker for a more familiar 'masculinely voiced' interpretation of what is happening to their partner (and themselves!) At last someone has written one & one that manages to be anecdotally humourous and medically accurate at the same time. I would and do recommend this book to any new F's2b aswell as to recent fathers, like me, who would enjoy an entertaining read. My only gripe with the book is that I didn't write it first!

Depends what sort of 'bloke' you are,
This review is from: The Bloke's Guide To Pregnancy (Paperback)
The entire bibliography of recommended further reading at the back of this book consisted of one book each by Tony Parsons, Ben Elton and Nick Hornby. If that fact alone doesn't immediately put you off ever reading a single syllable of Jon Smith, then you might enjoy this book.
"The Bloke's Guide to Pregnancy" isn't entirely without merit - 200 or 300 pages matily exhorting you to spend a little less time in the pub and a bit more time helping with the washing up can only have a positive overall impact on society. Whether it will have a positive impact on your experience as an expectant father depends on whether or not you view Messrs Parsons, Elton and Hornby as spokesblokes for 21st century Britain. And whether or not you forgive clunky, cliche-ridden prose and widespread apostrophe abuse. If your immediate response to the news of your partner's pregnancy wasn't "oh no, what about drinking beer and watching football?" then read a real book on pregnancy that treats both of you as intelligent human beings. "Your Pregnancy Bible: The Experts' Guide to the Nine Months of Pregnancy and the First Weeks of Parenthood" by Anne Deans is particularly recommended.

Everything a lad needs to know,
By Dad-2-be (STIRLING, SCOTLAND United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bloke's Guide To Pregnancy (Paperback)
I can't reccommend this book enough to first time dads.My fiance is expecting our first child and when she told me she was pregnant I felt like I had been hit by a train. The shock hits you before anything else! Once the shock wore off I was over the moon. But there were so many questions I had and couldn't really turn to anyone to ask them...
