Synopsis

There are approximately 3,712 ways for a guy to look stupid during pregnancy—this book's here to help you avoid all (most) of them. And here's your first hint: Focus on what you can be doing for her rather than what's happening to her.

She's pregnant. She knows that. You know that. And her one hundred and fifty-two baby books tell her exactly what she can expect. Your job is to learn what you can do between the stick turning blue and the drive to the delivery room to make the next nine months go as smoothly as possible. That's where John Pfeiffer steps in.

Like any good coach, he's been through it. He's dealt with the morning sickness and doctor visits, painting the baby's nursery and packing the overnight bag, choosing a name, hospital, and the color of the car-seat cover. All the while he remained positive and responsive—there with a "You're beautiful" when necessary—but assertive during the decision-making process. (He didn't want to wind up with a kid named Percy.) And now it's your turn.

She might be having the baby, but you have plenty of responsibilities.

Goodreads review by Scott

So, one of the first things I did within the first week of finding out that my wife was pregnant was something that I do quite naturally anyway: go to the bookstore. I think I bought seven or eight books targeted for expectant fathers (I was personally surprised how many there are), and I plan on re......more

Goodreads review by Paul

My wife said this book came highly recommended for dads-to-be. After I bought it and was about a quarter of the way through it, she said "Oh wait, that wasn't the right one". Then everything made sense. This book is NOT good. It will help you think through some topics or upcoming milestones during th......more

Goodreads review by Leo

Not a lot of info, but it's okay. Good at reinforcing that the balance of work and attention between a hetero couple must shift tremendously when one of them is pregnant, but that the guy is still a person with needs. I don't like the assumptions the author seems to make about his readers (especially......more

Goodreads review by Aj

This book is not worth reading. Almost all the information is just common sense, and the jokes just got worse amd worse. It was mildly entertaining at first, then just got really into dumb frat guy humor all throughout. Could have been written by just about anybody. I forced myself to finish it but......more

Goodreads review by Eddie

There is some wisdom in this book, but readers have to forgive a lot of inflammatory “jokes” to find it. This humor certainly hasn’t aged well, but I think it probably would’ve been tough to digest a decade ago when published. One unexpected joy is that my wife and I shared good moments discussing t......more
