I'd just like to point out firstly that I don't know Ben Wakeling the author personally, I've never met him. I stumbled upon his blog thanks to a retweet on Twitter a while ago. I've followed his blog and laughed every week as the week-by-week pregnancy update snippet arrived in my inbox. Then the book got published and I HAD to buy a copy. Well, I bought two actually. And the reason I'm on here now is to buy another copy for another expectant father friend of mine. This is most certainly my 'new dad' pressie. Whilst I was here I thought I'd write a review, because it's nice to support people who you genuinely admire and appreciate.
'Goodbye Pert Breasts' is brilliant. It's so easy to read (mostly because the letters are big and the chapters all short) and I mention this because this is great for most blokey blokes I know who just don't read books. This is a book that they WILL read (especially if you leave it in the bathroom I've noticed... hmmm seems big writing and short chapters are good for toilet reading and my husband says it's much better than reading the back of the shampoo bottles!). Even though I've most certainly not got a penis and it's not primarily aimed at ladies I've thoroughly enjoyed this book. So if you're a lady reading this thinking of getting this book for your other half then I'd recommend it lots because buying this will be like when you go out for a meal and steal chips off their plate, you can steal this after they've read it (or if you're like me, steal it whilst they're in the middle of it, lose their place and then they get really mad at you!) and you will certainly enjoy it too! Be warned though - don't read in public, especially the train as you WILL snort really loud in parts and ladies if like me you're in the late stages of pregnancy and you've not done your pelvic floor exercises you will probably wee a bit in places, especially at the stupid pictures and ridiculous but downright genius comments underneath these.
It's a perfect present for mums and dads to be but equally a really funny read for those who are already blessed with little blighters. 10/10 I really hope Ben writes some more books!

The book takes you through all 40 weeks though not really as the whole process starts with you finding out your pregnant around week 4 and finishes with some pro and cons for a number of hot button decisions that new parents need to make. Drugs vs. natural, cloth vs. paper, bottle vs. breast. Wakeling tackles all of these topics with irreverent humor and surprising detail making this a great book for any dad to be. This is the new What to Expect when Expecting for the men out there that like their facts filtered through a lens of comedy and caring.
While I loved the funny anecdotes and stream of consciousness takes on things like the fetus looking like predator during the early stages, what is really striking about this book is the awareness and sensitivity to what his wife is going through during the process. As fathers to be we all go through our times of self doubt and questioning but even in that process we need to be mindful that there is so much more going on with the moms. Goodbye Pert Breasts does a wonderful job of cluing men into just what their partners are going through and offering timely advice on how to help.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who is expecting a baby, male or female and wish that I had read a book this great when we were expecting. This book is just the right combination of comedy, caring, and curiosity and a must read.
