My Boys Can Swim!: The Official Guy's Guide to Pregnancy

Like it claims, this is a book for men. That is, the worst of men. The ones who belittle women, mock foreign accents, make fun of children's names and, generally, are lucky to have gotten a woman in bed at all. If you're buying this to actually learn something, look elsewhere. If you're buying this because you're a guy who needs to look like he's reading a pregnancy book to pacify the little woman, you found it. To be sure, this book is horrifically offensive, extraordinarily self-indulgent and terribly written. A title like, "The Red Neck's Guide to Pregnancy" would be more apt. Fortunately, at one-sixteenth of an inch thick, it'll all be over quickly.

I found this book to be an easy read and take my mind off of a lot of things that were kind of worrying me on my upcoming baby. This is a good gift if you don't want to overwhelm him with the first book and I got me a little more interested, so I went out and stepped it up a notch, got a bigger book with a lot more info.

Based on the comment by the OB, we bought this book. First of all, it is overpriced being that it is TINY. Second of all, it has little or no useful information. If I'm going to get my husband to read only one book, I'd like it to have information he can use.

I bought this book for my husband, as Im 5 1/2 Months pregnant, but I sat down and read the whole thing in about 1/2 hr. And get this, SO DID MY HUSBAND! He has always been interested in my pregnancy and has always read the books, but he loved this one. Not only funny, but gives real true to life info. Word of warning thou to pregnant woman, this book kind of makes the pain and torment sound a lot worse than i believe that it is. But thats okay, great book delivered in an awesome way!

I bought this for my husband, thinking it sounded like a light hearted guide for guys. It's not - it's pretty much one long anecdote about his wife's pregnancy. I can also sum up the whole thing in one sentence: "Your wife will be fat, mean, and blame you for everything so tell her she's pretty and get out of the house." My husband liked some parts, like to stay above the elbow during delivery since blood makes him pass out...but the rest was kind of insulting to both of us. This caters to a LOT of stereotypes that are pretty annoying. It also holds very little in the way of actual descriptions and conditions.
