Book Reviews of The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be, Second Edition

Book Review: I wouldn't recommend it.
Summary: 3 Stars

I am going to be a father any day now. When I first began reading I paid very close attention but eventually just scanned through chapters looking for bits of useful information I hadn't heard anywhere else (there weren't many). For every useful point in this book there are several point of views and emotions that the author was feeling. My personal feelings rarely ever mirrored his whatsoever. I would not tell a friend to buy this book.
Buy the Mayo Clinic book, it's all you'll need before baby is born.

Summary of The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips and Advice for Dads-to-Be, Second Edition

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.
