Editorial Review: Product Description: Finally—A Pregnancy Book That Won't Put Men to Sleep My Boys Can Swim! tells real men everything they really want to know about pregnancy, such as: How much is it going to cost? Why does your wife primp before seeing her doctor when she hasn't put a stitch of make-up on for you in months? And, most important, what's it going to do to your sex life? This rollicking, laugh-out-loud book is for expectant dads in search of bottom-line pregnancy information, without all that boring touchy-feely stuff you find in those books written for women. Inside you'll discover helpful—and hilarious—information and insights on such topics as: The Maternity Wardrobe: 'A key part of the maternity wardrobe is maternity underwear—parachute-like undies big enough to fit an NFL defensive lineman.' Baby Names: 'Don't give your kids mockable names like Thaddeus, which is Greek for 'I'm a dork and should be beaten up.'' The Birth: 'No one told me it's normal that babies' heads can be misshapen at birth. I was convinced that my wife gave birth to Veldar, the conehead.' Average Rating:
 Rating: - He Loved It!I bought this book for my husband to read. He has been more excited about the pregancy than I have (right now all I am is sick all the time). He loved this book to the point that he felt compelled to read parts of it out loud to me whether I was paying attention to him or not. The only down side is that the author breezes over things very quickly. It seemed to go from conception to birth very quickly, but it you what your man to actually read something informative and funny this is the book for ... Read More Rating:  - Funny and informativeMy husband really enjoyed this book. It was a funny, fast read and kept his attention. Rating: - Great for dads, even moms who want laughsMy mother in law bought us books to read and got this one for my fiance. He is in Afghanistan at the moment and so I received the book to send and decided to read it first myself. I laughed pretty hard a few times to say the least and decided this is the perfect book for my fiance for two main reasons. 1) He HATES to read, and a short, humorous book will grab his attention just enough to be able to finish it. 2) He's a guy and frankly, they don't need to be bogged down with details like us women ... Read More Rating:  - Absolute Crap This book is completely awful!!! I bought this book for my husband, thinking that it would help him better understand the issues of pregency. The comments about childbirth classes and having an epidural are awful (you are told that your wife should be given one, whether she wants one or not. The book never gives the many many reasons why an epidual may not be used)!!! This book is completely written from one person's point of view and lacks anything creditable!! I am debating whether or not I should ... Read More Rating: - Fantastic!My husband blazed through this book in a day, laughing through most of it. Although there were a handful of topics I thought were missing, it was thorough enough for him. I plan to buy this book for every first-time dad I know in the future! |
