Insider tips and advice for men on the roller-coaster ride called pregnancy and childbirth--the ideal gift for any expectant Father's Day

James Barron, two-time dad, has written a funny, down-to-earth, and practical book that every man needs when his wife is expecting a baby. He offers suggestions on what to do (and how to act!) from those first moments of anticipation to the main event, including:

Helping her deal with her physical and emotional changes

Early pregnancy sex (getting used to the new constraints)

Keeping up with insurance papers and other forms

Dealing with your fears that something will go wrong

Middle pregnancy sex (enjoyable surprise!)

The top ten things never to say to a pregnant woman

Questions you should ask the obstetrician

Late pregnancy sex (challenging, but possible)

Starting out--the first six weeks of fatherhood

This unique book will bring a smile or two to the men--and to the women who love them--while providing precious assistance to make pregnancy the experience of a lifetime.

Great source of reminders for fallible husbands

We were tipped off to this book by a Barnes & Noble clerk, whose own husband found it helpful. I've since enjoyed it immensely. My wife is in the first trimester of pregnancy, and I feel I have a better understanding of what to expect. A lot of people have said this book is all just common sense, but no man is a repository for all the world's wisdom. We all need reminders to be attentive, sensitive and calm; we're all only human and can easily slip into laziness, apathy and surliness. (I'm definitely guilty of all three.) I liked the first trimester section so much, I'm reading it again and probably will repeat at least once more during this part of the pregnancy. It keeps my head in the game.

Some people don't like that Barron might be taking his own wife's experience as a universal one for all women -- some are tougher, some more sensitive -- but I think his central focus is on attention and involvement. And even if you've got the toughest wife in the world with no need for foot rubs, at least you can say you shared the experience with her and enriched your own life. That seems like the perfect start to a fatherhood not spent drinking beer on the couch in the other room.

Must have, must have, must have

I bought this book for my husband for my first pregnancy and it presented us with plenty of opportunity for discussion and oh, heavens above, more laughs than I could count. Barron's frank (some would say blunt) look at pregnancy through a man's eyes was soooooo refreshing. I was so happy to have found a book that would clue my hubby into what was going on without being preachy or boring. Sure, there are "woman generalizations," but it's lets the reader in on an honest look at pregancy, which was a welcome change from other books geared toward daddy to be's. I have just learned I am about to become an aunt and I am ordering this book for my brother - if I remember correctly, anyone who's living with a hormonal pregnant woman deserves a little laughter in their lives :)!
