The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be, Second Edition DescriptionSince it was first published several years ago, The Expectant Father has become the indisputable leader in its field. It is an information-packed, month-by-month guide to all the emotional, financial, and yes, even physical changes the father-to-be may experience during the course of his partner's pregnancy. Incorporating the wisdom of top experts in the field, from obstetricians and birth-class instructors to psychologists and sociologists, The Expectant Father is filled with sound advice and practical tips for men, including how to afford a pregnancy; how to juggle work and family roles; how to make sense of your conflicting emotions; what childbirth classes don't teach you; ways to support and encourage your partner throughout the pregnancy; how to start a college fund; how pregnancy affects your sex life; how to deal with the obstacles society places in the way of involved fathers. In the revised and expanded second edition, authors Armin Brott and Jennifer Ash incorporate the latest statistics; update the Resources section to include the many relevant websites that have appeared since the first edition was published; introduce information for adoptive fathers-to-be; address the special concerns of fathers who are expecting twins, triplets, or more babies; and much more. The new edition, like the first, is illustrated with delightful cartoons that will keep even the most anxious fathers-to-be chuckling.The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be, Second Edition Features

Malcom My husband really enjoyed reading this book. He new what was going on and what to expect. 2 out of 5 stars 2010-02-20 By Rebecca I was excited to get this book for my husband- but after reading through it I was very disappointed. There is too much information about how "expensive" babies are (as if Dads are not already worried about money) but the information is too generalized and many times inaccurate. For example when they discuss the "added costs" of labor and how expensive a complication can be- I wonder if they have health insurance? All insurance policies are different...ours covers such "complications". Why freak out new Dads so much? The section that makes excuses for why men cheat on their pregnant wives also personally offended me. I gave it 2 stars because I'm not a man and I think some of the later chapters dealing with emotions of men have merit. That said- I personally think Dad would have a better time reading some standard baby books though. 5 out of 5 stars 2010-02-06 By G. Davenport (LAKE STEVENS, WA, US) This is a must read for expectant Fathers. This book totally nails what the expectant father should look out for during the pregnancy period. Great Read!! 5 out of 5 stars 2010-01-27 By Samantha Bermudez (Florida) This is a great book for a daddy to be. It gives many great advices! 3 out of 5 stars 2010-01-10 By Sara Monroe I liked the information in this book and figured my Husband would like it too. However, he really wasn't interested in reading a baby book (most guys aren't) But if your man is gung-ho about learning every thing he can before you have the baby, get this book for him.
