5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, informative and gives the right level of detail, 8 Nov 2001

By A Customer

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars An insult to my intelligence, 16 Feb 2004

By	James Kaye (Hendon, London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

My expectant wife bought this book for me in the hope that it would provide a decent level of male insight into the whole pregnancy process. I tried hard for 50 pages and had to give up before I threw it at the wall or burnt it. Even worse, my sides were threatening to split with the incredible 'hilarity' of it all. I mistakenly thought I was going to get something witty and genuinely insightful, however, the author thinks that his entire readership are 16 year-old Neanderthals who still read Loaded and must be obsessed with beer and footy. In between endlessly dull references to booze, golf, cricket, footy, pubs, TV, Formula 1 and the like, he tries to say something intelligent or interesting about that particular stage of the process and fails magnificently every single time on every level. This is a complete load of rubbish and about as funny as food poisoning. Give it a very very wide berth indeed- unless of course, you are an avid Loaded-reading, footy-playing alcoholic. If you do want something genuinely funny and insightful then you could always try writing a book like this yourself because chances are that you'll churn out something wittier and it'll probably take all of two days to write. If is it true that everyone has a book in them then good old Gavin would have been better off keeping this one buried deep inside............

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshingly fantastic and down to earth, 9 Oct 2001

By	bigshazwalton@yahoo.co.uk (Cheshire, England) - See all my reviews

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
