Book Reviews of The Guy's Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth and the First Year of Fatherhood

Book Review: Rolling on the floor in laughter
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is great. You can tell right away the author has a warped but loveable sense of humor. I love it!! The author has a way of touching on pregnancy in a whole new light from his point of view. He keeps you laughing throughout the entire book.

It reads as the title says "Surviving Pregnancy". You learn how the author survived it in his own life. The author was thought provoking, honest, raw, and kept me laughing throughout the entire book.

If you're looking for a true perspective of pregnancy from someone who has been there then this is the book for you. Love it!!

Summary of The Guy's Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth and the First Year of Fatherhood

A man's man trades beer bottles for baby bottles and lives to tell the tale

In high school, Michael Crider was the jokester, the drummer in a band, the Howie Mandel impersonator. Fast-forward ten years and the funny man has married and become the family man. The Guy's Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the First Year of Fatherhood-Crider's candid, down-to-earth account of his transformation-proves that even without much sleep, he has kept his sense of humor completely intact.

From the moment he hears the unexpected news that the pregnancy test is positive to the end of his son's first year of life, Michael Crider is awed, anxious, and all-too-human. In between these milestones, he endures the aches and pains of his wife's pregnancy (which had a clear impact on his own bodily comfort), swallows his pride when bunny wallpaper replaces his beloved Budweiser mirror, has a short and only partially-appreciated stint as her labor coach on the Big Day, and experiences every one of his son's "firsts" as though they were his own. Honest, informative, hilarious, and heartwarming, The Guy's Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the First Year of Fatherhood is a must-read for all new parents.
