I ordered this book and then read the negative reviews that it had been given..... I disagree with these - the book is tops! Despite being labelled as "simplistic" and "sexist" - it isn't! I have good medical knowledge, but this book contains the right amount of detail for most, but importantly, explains to men why things are the way they are - you don't get this from the medical books!
If you want something to summarise the progress that your partner is going through in terms of behavioural changes then this hits the nail on the head - it is easy reading, light-hearted, informative and amusing. Sure, it doesn not give you all the preparation you need, but it never claims to!
Enjoy.

I gave my husband this book as a present, and as he read through it he became more and more annoyed at the assumptions made about mens interests and concerns during their partners pregnancy. This book portrays men in a very poor light. Unless your partner is an immature, lager swilling, insensitive idiot then there are a huge selection of books that will give him a better insight into pregnancy than this sexist (against men!!) rubbish.

Along with 'From Here To Paternity - The Diary of a Pregnant Man', this book helped me deal with the blizzard of practical and emotional challenges when we were having our baby. The other book in my Top 3 is Anne Deans 'The Pregnancy Bible' which was more detailed about the nitty gritty than The Bloke's Guide. It's worth learning about this stuff, coz when the crucial time comes, you might be required to speak on behalf of your missus when she's otherwise occupied. I read a few other pregnancy books for new dads and new mums - some were too superficial, some were too busy making jokes to be useful. These three always answered our needs.
Finally a book for men! November 13, 2007

I bought this book for my husband when I found out I was expecting our 1st baby. He found it really useful and informative, but highly entertaining at the same time. It answered the types of questions guys have, without all the girlie stuff they don't really need to know.

I read this book a couple of years ago and loved it. I've just bought it for a friend who is going through the experience for the first time and I was surpised by the recent reviews. The book is called `the bloke's guide to pregnancy'. Surely the title spells it out? This isn't a medical journal, it's a pregnancy guide for men to read and understand. I found it helpful, honest and realistic.
If you want the sugar-coated guidebooks read something written by a woman or a doctor. If you want a more realistic viewpoint, read this.
