Product Description
This indispensable book explores the emotional, financial, and even physical changes the father-to-be may experience during his partner's pregnancy. Written in an easy-to-absorb format and filled with sound advice and practical tips for men on such topics as, how to make sense of your conflicting emotions, how pregnancy affects your sex life, and how to start a college fund. This volume reassures, commiserates, and informs. It also incorporates the wisdom of top experts in the field, from obstetricians and birth-class instructors to psychologists and sociologists. This new edition features the latest research on many topics (and there's a ton of it), from expanding sections on overcoming infertility, in vitro, artificial insemination, and other tech-assisted pregnancies, especially where dad is not the biological parent, to updating the sections on childbirth to reflect the fact that about 80 per cent of deliveries are now done with epidurals and new information on c-sections as well. Sections on prenatal communication and education are also be expanded. There will be an overall, top-to-bottom review of the content to make sure all the information is relevant to today's young and senior dads.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent for getting the guy point-of-view,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-be (Paperback)
This book is a must-read for all new fathers. It has humorus cartoons. The stories are also funny, and realistic. When I read the experinces and emotions that Armin A. Bott went through they made me laugh, but yet I realized I was going through the same experiences and asking the same quesitons like "how will I hold up in the delivery room" and "is this really real, or am I feeling an alien in my wife's tummy?" I especially liked chapter 5 on "The Lights are on and somebody's home" that details the baby moving and talking to your baby in the womb. It sounds starange, but their is reason behind it, as Bott points out from clinical studies that have been done. The chapter on labor and delivery is also good information with humor dispersed, making it fun to read.

Great book for helping expectant fathers deal with changes.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-be (Paperback)
This book is easy to read, and really helped my husband through my pregnancy. He did not really "get" the typical pregnancy books, but this one really spoke to him. We both reccommend it.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but quite US-centric,
This review is from: The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be, Second Edition (Kindle Edition)
Pretty good, but beware if you're looking at this in the UK Kindle store as I was - it's an American book and while there are definitely a lot of things that are universal globally, the sections on money are pretty much irrelevant to us Brits as we have the glorious NHS looking after us!Well written overview, but still looking for the definitive pregnancy reference manual for MEN (not blokes, lads or idiots).
