Product Description
Since 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.

 Better books out there February 20, 2010
Rebecca
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
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.

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!!

This is a great book for a daddy to be. It gives many great advices!
 Good book, was not used by my husband January 10, 2010

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.
Nothing can fully prepare you for fatherhood but get this book anyways. December 25, 2009
I. Campbell (Philadelphia, PA USA)
Here's a bit of advice for all new dads dealing a pregnant woman. The past means nothing. You are on a whole new journey parts of which will blow your mind, be extremely stressful. Your relationship with your child's mother is going to evolve and you need to reach deep inside for a new level of maturity. No one book is going to prepare you. Your strength comes from inside - look for it there, not in a book. What you will find inside is a mix of practical advice split between what you need to know as "dad" and what is happening to mom. It is worth reading and I'd just buy this book, read it, commit it to memory and go from there. I purchased a few other recommended titles besides this one - they weren't great. Stick to this one.
