Great resource for dads from a dad

I bought this book for myself when my wife and I were starting to think about having children and it stayed with me thorough the entire pregnancy.

The month by month sections are great to read and they provide not only advice about what is going on with the baby, but also what is going with you and with your partner.

It has a great balance to it and with resources and an index in the back; it works wonders as a quick go-to guide.

My wife loved that I had it because I was informed and she appreciated how the format not only got me in the loop as to what was going on with her, but also looked at some issues that I might be thinking about.

A great book, and I've just bought the second one (1st year) so I can continue the series.

Good luck to all you future and fellow parents!

He loves it but also reads the mommy books too.

Great way for fathers to still read about pregnancy but get a relief of the "Mommy" books.

Its informative without being having too much hegemonic male-speak. Great for intellegent men, but we recommend suplementing with other books, but NOT "What to Expect".

Excellent Book for 1st Time Fathers

I am reading this book now as a first time father and its great, lots of information both pratical and helpful with you as a father to be as well as good advice on how to help the mother, what she needs, suggestoins on how to make her pregnancy easier and safer. Lots of great lists like questions to ask the OB/GYN, food to avoid etc. I highly recommend this book.
thanks

Good for the father (and the mother!)

This is the first pregnancy book I've read, and while I'm not a man, I thought it was immensely helpful. The author follows the normal stages of pregnancy, from morning sickness to swollen ankles to delivery and beyond and discusses them in a sensitive and helpful manner. Some of the topics are ones that are best discussed BEFORE conception (for example, money), but overall, he hits them as they would come into play during an actual pregnancy. However, the book is best read at one time, not month-by-month as a pregnancy progresses.
The author has two children whom he loves very much, and he makes a lot of mention about how men are stereotyped as babysitters instead of parents. He's also from San Francisco and makes several mentions to environmental concerns, which may be irritating to readers, as they occasionally come off as excessive. Aside from that, this book is very helpful and will help the father feel more involved in the pregnancy. Recommended reading for both parents.
