Buen libro sobre el embarazo... para hombres

Es el mejor libro sobre embarazos que encontré... dedicado para los hombres... ya que todos son para mujeres.

A very funny book.

When my wife became pregnant I read every book, magazine, and article on pregnancy that came into the house. I even read "The Girlfriend's Guide" and "What to Expect" from cover to cover (ok, so I'm a bit obsessive). Somewhere along the way I decided to find some books on the lighter side of impending fatherhood. I purchased three or four humor books, this was the best of the bunch. I must have read it eight or nine times before my son was born. When my wife's sister became pregnant I sent my dogeared copy to my brother-in-law as a gift. I have since purchased several more copies for friends whos wives are pregnant. It's become part of my traditional gift, the guy gets this book during the pregnancy, after the baby is born the couple gets a case of diapers. Both gifts are always appreciated. I've seen some reviews that call the book sexist and neanderthal but I just don't see it. Heck, my wife read it and loved it and she's as liberal as they come.

He Loves This Book!

This is the one of the few books that I have found that were written for men. My husband and I have been reading it together. My husband absolutely loves it! James Barron is very enlightening while providing a great deal of humor. He talks about the emotions of the husband that most of the books don't even mention. This is a MUST-READ for all men who want to be active in the pregnancy or who just want to know that he isn't crazy! It is also a great-read for the wives!

Very useful

I bought this book for my husband to help him thru the trials and tribulations of my pregnancy, of which I am having many. It has been extremely useful, and I believe it has given my husband real insight into what I have been going thru and how I feel. I feel like he sympathizes more and is more supportive since he has read it. Whenever I try to enlighten him about something, he says "I know that, I read it in my book!"

Very funny and right on target

She's Having a Baby is an excellent book for both fathers and mothers-to-be. It is funny and accurately captures the many thoughts and emotions that couples tend to experience during their pregnancy. I laughed out loud many times as I read the book. I knew exactly what Mr. Barron was talking about more times than I would like to admit. From a father's viewpoint, my two favorite pregancy books are this one and a book called We're Pregnant! - written by an expectant mother and father and also very candid, funny and true-to-life.
