Format: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.

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.

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).

The content in this book isn't bad, but I found the slightly cloying style quite irritating. However, the main problem with it from a UK perspective is that a lot of it is very... Read more

One word- Boring!!

This book gets bogged down repeatedly with telling men how they are supposed to act and treat their wives. Read more

are men really so bad?
You'll only need to read this book if you are an insensitive block of wood. Other than that you'd be better off reading something sensible. Read what your wife reads!

What a GREAT book!
I bought this book for my husband after we found out I was pregnant. Not only does he love it, but I love it too! It gives us both insight into what the other is going through. Read more
