The Expectant Father - Book spin

"The Expectant Father" was the first book I purchased when I found out I was going to be a new dad. Written by two magazine and newspaper contributors, Armin A. Brott and Jennifer Ash, the book lays down a solid foundation for clueless dads-to-be looking to grasp the fundamentals of their new situation.

The authors do a no ifs ands or buts great job of outside basic gravidity data from the man's point of view. The book is broken down by months; each month's lesson will have a short section on the things you, your baby and your partner may all be going through. In addition to that there will be a branch high lighted in that chapter. Topics that are covered are: paying for the birth, child and college, communication, telling the world, work and family changes, the birth and many others.

The book is not written by curative professionals which gives the book a very familiar and conversational feel. You get the feeling that it's more like one of your buddies talking to you than a biology text book. The book isn't devoid of essential curative input though. The authors site and merge tons of data from doctors, midwives, psychologists and others. This combined with the relatively short 198 pages makes it an easy read.

One thing that I found distracting was that the book is organized by months while everything in gravidity is calculated by weeks. Yeah the math isn't hard, but sometimes big things can happen from week to week. Also you get a lot of data thrown at you that may not apply right away. For example; the authors delve deep into college funds in the second month's chapter. This wave of data sometimes was too much to wholly suck in and I find myself often re-reading chapters when the month no ifs ands or buts arrives.

In conclusion, "The Expectant Father" is a great book if you just found out you are going to be a new dad. It gives you a good base to start off with, but will not be the only baby book you need. I propose combining this book with a woman's preganancy week-by-week book (that I am sure your partner has already) to get a great picture of the whole pregnancy. All in all this book is worth the money and does a fabulous job of introducing you to the wide world of pregnancy.
