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

I only read the first few pages and it seemed mostly funny with informative thrown in there. My friend is a first time father and he really like the book. He is done with it, and said that it was great for him, and that all his wife's books are boring. His wife is reading it now, she is enjoying it, but reminds him that there is more to the pregnancy than whats in this book, his response was "but I dont need to know all that other stuff".

My husband got a real kick out of this book... Had some useful tips too

This book is written for a lowbrow audience. I consider myself a typical, caring husband and soon-to-be father and this book was insulting. Unless you are really out in left field regarding the issues of pregnancy, or have a really short attention span (its more pamphlet than book) do not buy this.

I wanted to buy my husband a book to read to understand what my body and my mind was going through during this pregnancy. I bought this book because my husband isn't exactly the avid reader. I was expecting that it would be detailed in what I was going through as well as what he could expect, but we both were less than happy about it. It barely touches the topics of pregnancy, let alone dives into detail. I wouldn't recommend it unless you are looking for a quick read about pregnancy that is otherwise common sense.

As many of the other reviews state, this is a must have for fathers to be. As an expecting father, waiting for my first child, this help me immensely with understanding what my girlfriend was going through, what to expect in the coming months, and how to deal with everything that is/will be happening. Also, I read this book in 2 very short sittings, so this book gets to the point, and fast. Again, highly recommended.
