Full of stuff about the whole conception and birth process but not enough about emotional support required, which I expected to be in this book. Quite repetitive in places which makes the chapters very undifined. A lot of information is simply skimmed over such as the physicological effects of pregancy on both the mother and the father. A very basic book which could have been so much better.

Great book for first time Dad's and also as a refresher when the next one comes along!. I was given this book by a friend when my first child was due. Over the 2 years between my 1st and 2nd the book was passed around to 10 couples (I was an expat in Malaysia at the time)most of whom bought it 'just in case'. Its not a big read but it covers most areas without getting to technical or boring. I am just about to buy it for a friend of mine as my copy is with an ex-collegue somewhere in Bristol!
