A great start for men in a females world.

Simple, to the point and in depth. All you could want so you can say "I know this and that about this and that." and be a little more prepared for things to come. Still occasionally falls victim to the very same problems it tries to rectify however in that it seeks to remove the stereotype of the Homer Simpson male with pregnancy yet makes silly story references and a few boring quips over generic male behaviour. The stories in particular I found pretty dismal, think GCSE French textbook level of awkward. Would be nice to have a more serious tone for some of us in situations where we may be genuinely bricking it and looking for help in all the places we can. Overall though, an invaluable guide despite this.

Really good

I found this to be really insightful. I had it purchased for me by a friend when my partner and I found out we were expecting, but wanted to listen to it via audiobook. I wasn't disappointed. Some of it is common sense, but it's also nice to sit with a notepad and pen when listening to jot down various things that might not have been thought of. I would recommend it to (from my point of view) soon-to-be-dads and upon completion soon-to-be-mums as well. It's fantastically balanced and takes nothing away from either party when delivering the information.

Overall very good but some outdated info

This book is a great insight into becoming a dad with some really valuable tidbits that many may not know, even if they’ve already had children.
Some of the info and opinions on antenatal classes and birth options though are in my opinion unfortunately quite biased, misleading and incorrect. Maybe just a little outdated.

Not bad

A fairly obvious and limited account of pregnancy. The story was far better read in a voice your imagination makes up rather than the chosen narrator who is obviously too old to be saying some of the terminology or catch phrases. He’s like listening to a cross between postman pat & a bbc news reader.

Pregnancy in a Nutshell, and brilliantly funny.

I've read/listened to a few pregnancy books, and this is so far the best. It tells you everything *I think* you need to know, and does so very humorously without getting into needless details many other books go into. Thoroughly recommend for any expecting parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle or whomever might be involved in the process of raising a child.

useful & amusing for 1st time Dads

Would recommend as a book that has useful information for assisting with the wholly life changing process that 1st time pregnancy brings for a couple from a Dad's perspective. With helpful advice, and a good helping of humour to smooth the process.
