Product Description
Men get pregnant too. Not physically, but during a partner's pregnancy, men go thru nine exciting, terrifying months during which they must find solutions to morning sickness and breast engorgement, and comfort their partners thru a million crises and cravings. "You're Pregnant too, Mate!" is a genuine pregnancy guide for men. With everything he needs to know, from conception (he spends years avoiding it, now he can't quite manage it), thru pregnancy (coping with sick/moody partner and sick/ moody himself), to dealing with a torrent of abuse and in-laws at birth, it's the perfect companion for any man during the nine (one, one) months.

When I first got pregnant I bought and borrowed pregnancy books - all aimed at women. My partner was just as excited as me about the pregnancy but couldn't find anything aimed at the "pregnant father" and felt a bit left out. Then we found this book.
A lot of the issues covered (How do you KNOW she's pregnant? What can you do to help? Feeling a bit left out? etc) are all covered and in a very readable, funny and easy to relate to way.
I managed to pinch it first for a read and found it to be extremely supportive of what the woman is going through (and despite another review on Amazon - not the least bit anti-women) and found it encouraged men to realise just how helpful they can be by looking after their tired out,snappy, pregnant partners. It was also reassuring for me to realise I was not the only woman who had changed both their personality and energy levels overnight and was needing to lean on my partner in this way.
It is not the most medically informative book (get the ones aimed at women for that)but does give men details of what their involvement and support can be at every stage and aims to try and explain what is happening whilst still being a good read for both partners as opposed to a biology lesson.
I'd recommend it for all expectant Dads.

This book has had both of us in fits of laughter. Its down to earth and it doesnt go into lots of technical detail - if you want that buy Mirriam's books. We've both read those too but his gave us a light hearted view we could giggle over. If your partner isnt the type to want to know how many inches your uterus sticks above your pubic bone each week then buy him this book. If he does then go back to Mirriam. This book compliments the serious stuff really well - if blokes talked about pregnancy like women do they wouldnt need this - as it is they do, its like your best mate telling you the heartfelt good and bad over a pint. Every expectant father should have a copy

I was almost put off by one of the reviews. Don't be. It is aimed at blokes and is entertaining and very funny. Having read more serious tomes on pregnancy it also has a loy of good useful information in it too, but presented in a light hearted way.

Aimed at a market for limited intellect. Avoid at all costs. Written with the aim of low-level pub humour. Luckily it was passed on to me and so did not waste money on it. Read more
