Customer Reviews

If you read one book...

...read this one. Early in my wife's pregnancy, I bought Pregnant Man used for under a dollar; what a deal! It was the most useful and comforting book I read on impending fatherhood, and I have since sent it to several other pregnant (male) friends. Support the author: buy it new!

Does a great job of relating to what the father is going through. Absolutely hysterical and very real. Had both my husband and I laughing every page. Churchwell's research into the role of the father through history and in many cultures provides insight not found in "what to expect" and the rest of that stack. His display of backbone with overbearing hospital staff during labor and delivery is inspiring without being rude. Our copy is getting well-read!
