Review
“Careful, straightforward, and nearly encyclopedic in covering just about every imaginable baby-related topic…Will be helpful to any first-time father and many who already have children…This is a book that fathers-to-be can read as narrative or in little bits…The layout makes the authors’ points easy to read and absorb…Curtis and Schuler are excellent, no-nonsense guides to one of the greatest of all life-changing events.”
Blogcritics.org, 2/6/09
“Young fathers-to-be out there, older fathers-to-be out there, I would highly recommend you read Your Pregnancy for the Father-to-Be. This book is filled with advice but is not encyclopedic to read. You can follow its suggestions in a realistic way. It not only teaches about pregnancy and the huge changes going on in your partner, it also explains the emotional and sometimes physical changes you will experience.”
Deseret News, 2/16/09
“When he speaks, it's easy to see why Dr. Glade B. Curtis has become a best-selling author of pregnancy books. He's warm and articulate and doesn't appear easily rattled. Ask a question and the Utah-based doctor responds with ease. The same is true for his books, including the recently updated Your Pregnancy for the Father-to-Be. It…seems to reach the right balance between being informative and not delving too much into the scary complications that can arise with pregnancy…Each chapter also includes a lot of at-a-glance information that is easy to digest.”
Mid-Ohio Valley Parent, 5/09
“Gives dads essential information on what his partner is going through…This book walks dads through every aspect and gives helpful advice at each turn. This is a welcome addition to the ‘Your Pregnancy’ library.”
Oxygen, 6/09
“Will brief him on everything from what you are going through to financial tips and common pregnancy terms. It’s instant support for you both.”

Great Resource,

This review is from: Your Pregnancy for the Father-To-Be: Everything Dads Need to Know About Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Getting Ready for a New Baby (Paperback)
As a first time father this book was very helpful. It did not go into nearly the details that some of the other books did. It was very specific about what a man can do to help his wife through the process. It also looks at some longer term items, like saving for school, planning for the first few weeks after the birth and even packing a travel bag for you to take to the hospital. It is nice light reading in an easy to read format and style. This book will definitely be a benefit to you and your partner. The 5 sections are: the three trimesters, labor & delivery, and at home with the baby. These authors also wrote a number of supporting or complimentary books:Bouncing Back From Your Pregnancy Your Pregnancy Journal Week by Week Your Pregnancy After 35 Your Pregnancy Questions and Answers Your Pregnancy Every Woman's Guide Your Baby's First Year Week by Week Your Pregnancy Week by Week

Better than "Week by Week",

This review is from: Your Pregnancy For The Father-to-be: Everything Dads Need To Know About Pregnancy, Childbirth, And Getting Ready For A New Baby (Paperback)
I ordered this along with the "Week by Week" selection by the same authors when we first found out we were pregnant. After about a few days of myhusband and I reading our seperate books, I found that he had more information than I did!

Best "primer" pregnancy book for expecting dads out there!,
By Manny Hernandez "@askmanny" (Berkeley, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Your Pregnancy For The Father-to-be: Everything Dads Need To Know About Pregnancy, Childbirth, And Getting Ready For A New Baby (Paperback)
As an expecting dad (our baby should be with us within the next few weeks) I have been trying to learn as much as I can and shared readings with my wife on all things about the baby, but the truth is that, as men, we need some literature that will relate a bit more to us, and give us "tips" on how to better cope with this whole thing that's going on around us, for which most likely we've never been prepared. This is where this book comes in handy! From the same authors of the reputed book "Your Pregnancy Week by Week" (now in its fourth edition), came this one, meant to help expectant fathers "understand what a woman goes through during pregnancy and how [they] can help her deal with the things that are happening to her."Opening up is a very useful table that breaks down topics (with page #s) into "The Good Part," "You May Want to Help Your Partner Deal With" and "Pay Attention to" by trimester, around labor and delivery, and finally at home with the baby (in a "What to expect when you're expecting" fashion, if you may). Also VERY useful are the abundance of DOs (Brownie Points) and DON'Ts (In The Doghouse) spread throughout the book, nicely going hand in hand with the topics covered in the pages where they pop up. There is also a sort of glossary of terms for expecting couples, and then the book goes into topics that deal with the emotional, physical and financial aspects of pregnancy in enough detail to serve as a very good primer for most matters and purposes. Definitely not meant as an in-depth book on pregnancy, childbirth or raising your newborn child, this book does fulfill a purpose by providing expecting dads with an easy-to-read book that they can relate to, in order to get them up to speed with the basics about pregnancy, and -most importantly- to ensure that they are able to cope with their wives' needs as best as possible during pregnancy and thereafter.
