      Praise for

      The Expectant Father

      The best guidebook to date for both the prospective father and his partner in their journey through the nine months of pregnancy.… A must for fathers-to-be.”

      —John Munder Ross, PhD, author of What Men Want and editor of Father and Child

      “This is the What to Expect When You’re Expecting for men.… If you know an expectant father, first baby or not, make sure he has this book.”

      —Full-Time Dads

      “One would be hard put to find a question about having a baby that’s not dealt with here, all from the father’s perspective.”

      —Library Journal

      The Expectant Father: More than 1,000,000 copies sold

      About The Expectant Father: The Ultimate Guide for Dads-to-Be, Fourth Edition

      An information-packed, month-to-month guide to all the emotional, financial, and yes, even physical changes the father-to-be may experience during the course of his partner’s pregnancy—now significantly updated and expanded. Incorporating the wisdom of top experts in the field, from obstetricians and birth-class instructors to psychologists and sociologists, the fourth edition of The Expectant Father includes the latest research about assisted reproduction technologies (ART) and many other topics, including how to support and encourage your partner throughout pregnancy, how to juggle work and family roles, and how to become the father you really want to be.

      Illustrated throughout with New Yorker cartoons that will make even the most anxious fathers-to-be chuckle, this book reassures, commiserates, informs, and entertains.
