Customer Reviews

What a great gift for an expectant Dad!

This wonderful book is easy to read, well organized, and full of practical lists to follow. What a great gift for the dad-to-be in your life! I think most men really want to be a great partner while their wife is expecting, but they just don't know how to do it. This book will give them step by step explanations of all sorts of easy, practical ways to make their partner feel very special and very cherished. Each chapter ends with a quick list of all the suggestions in that chapter - your very own Cliff Notes. The book has a warm friendly tone with a "you can do it, here's exactly how" tone throughout. This is the book I wish I had had to give to my husband many years ago! Jan Dahlin Geiger Get Your Assets in Gear! Smart Money Strategies

A Treasure for Expectant Parents!

I LOVE this book! I can't think of a better gift for expectant parents. Leon Scott Baxter has written a thoughtful, practical guide to loving women during pregnancy. His week-by-week suggestions are priceless. He starts with ideas to celebrate the pregnancy and cope with morning sickness in the first trimester (the queasy months) and continues to romance and pamper during the second trimester (the easy months). But it's the thoughtful suggestions for the last trimester (the uncomfortable months) that prove this is a man who knows what he's talking about. He offers tender ways to share the anticipation of the birth and deal with the physical challenges a woman faces. Any man who will shave her legs when she goes into labor deserves all the love and devotion he'll get in return. Throughout it all, he reminds dads-to-be to help around the house and advises about the level of intimacy that is safe for mom and baby. Leon has thought of everything.

Essential Reading for Every Father-to-Be

"A Labor with Love" is the book that every pregnant woman must buy for her husband. This well-researched guide really helps the dad-to-be understand what his pregnant partner is experiencing. Topics for men include: how to ease her physical discomforts, having "safe" (for the baby) sex, making her feel beautiful, keeping the romance alive, helping out around the house, and showing her that you want to be a part of the pregnancy. And this book is not just for first-time daddies . . . it even describes how subsequent pregnancies will differ from the first. An especially wonderful section gives the expectant dad practical suggestions for surprising or pampering his wife during every single week of her pregnancy. "A Labor with Love" should be required reading for every father-to-be.

Best one of it's kind

This book is a one of a kind book. It's simple, easy to understand, and definately user friendly. Leon may not be a psychologist, but he might as well be. He is very insightful. His book is priceless for his unique and down to earth ideas. I would suggest it for any pregnant couple.
