Product Details


Product Description

From Amazon.com

An information-packed guide to all the emotional, financial and 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, this book is filled with sound advice and practical tips for men, as well as New Yorker-style cartoons that will keep anxious fathers-to-be chuckling. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


From Publishers Weekly

In an expanded and updated version of Brott's 1995 book, the authors once again present a month-by-month guide to pregnancy for the father-to-be. Illustrated throughout with humorous cartoons, the book divides each month of pregnancy into four astute categories: "What She's Going Through" (physical and emotion changes), "What's Going On with the Baby" (physical progress), "What You're Going Through" (physical and emotional changes) and "Staying Involved" (tips on supporting and encouraging the pregnant partner). Since most child-rearing books for men focus primarily on the emotional challenges, it's both refreshing and helpful that these authors include practical advice: recipes, detailed insights into the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 and realistic appraisals of the often very high costs of baby furnishings. Most valuable are the sections on the aspects of birth that make many men squeamish (episiotomies, epidurals and cesarean sections) as well as the post-delivery traumas that they tend to avoid facing (finding childcare, dealing with late-night wake-ups, dressing young children and sex after pregnancy). This is an essential book for all expectant fathers. (June)Forecast: Brott, a father of two, who has been called "the superdad's superdad" by Time magazine, has written five books on fatherhood and hosts Positive Parenting, a national radio talk show. Considering the increasing number of fathers who want to be actively involved in parenting, this book, with its Father's Day release, should do at least as well as the original, which was a bestseller.

1.0 out of 5 stars Yikes...., Feb 8 2009
By J. Adams (Montreal Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm a guy and actually bought this book for myself (rather than getting it as a gift or bought for me by my wife). Was this book really written by a guy? Facts are wrong, information is dated, and the guy is an over sensitive neurotic. Freeze your placenta? Jealousy? Extramarital affairs? I did this...I did that...look at me...look at me.... Yikes.

Can I get my money back? Can I swear?

5.0 out of 5 stars A book not to become outdated, Oct 20 2004
The Expectant Father is one of those books every soon to be father should read. I enjoyed it immensely. It covers the topic of fatherhood in a very competent and insightful manner. I had a several how and why question lingering in my mind after completing "The Expectant Father." I do not think a single book on such an important and often times complicated topic can answer all questions. I read "Systemic Parenting: An Exploration of the Parenting Big Picture" (Gaskill) after completing The Expectant Father. These books are very complimentarily of the other. Brott cover the subject of fatherhood pretty well, Gaskill (Systemic Parenting) covers the topic of parenthood exceptionally well. These texts have helped me be a father that I only which I had while growing up! I will certainly keep them in my library for that time when my son informs me that I am going to be a grand father. I do not believe these two books will ever become dated.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Reading for first time Fathers, Jul 7 2004
By R. Tejada "Rick" (Fairfax, VA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book interesting for new fathers like me. Some things may be obvious and repetitive, but learning that many of the feelings experienced for the first time during pregnancy are actually quite common helps you better to deal with them.
The book is well organized so you can quickly skip sections that you don't need to read about (for example, twins, second birth, etc.). Overall, I like and do not consider it to be offensive for women at all.
