Pregnancy sucks..For men!!! ...This is
the title of one of the funniest pregnancy
books I have read. I bought it for my
husban but I finished reading it before he
did!
I know us women are the ones mainly
suffering through the pregnancy aches and
pains etc but I think its good to remember
daddy and how much he has to put up
with!!
This book was sooo funny and also has good
tips for dads to be on how to take care of
his pregnant wife! (or girlfriend)
any other books you like??? I love to
read pregnancy related books!

Ha! This makes me think of my father. He
always jokingly used to say that "women
may have to put up with the pain of being
pregnant, but men have to deal with the
psychological torture, which is much worse
than physical pain."

needs to know — and do — when the
woman he loves is pregnant"

I just finished a book (my fiance and I
are expecting our first child) called the
expectant father
facts, tips, and advice for dads-to-be
second edition
the authors are armin a. Brott and
jennifer ash
it is the male counterpart to the book
"what to expect when you're expecting"
it has a chapter dedicated to every month
of pregnancy and at the beginning of every
chapter tells what physical and emotional
symptoms your partner may be having and
then the rest goes on to tell ways to
support your partner, get involved, and
even things like recipes with good
prenatal nutrients. Even though that
there are more contemporary views
regarding fathers now there still seems to
be a slim selection for fathers-to-be.
The few pregnancy books for women that
offer sections for the father are more
focused on whats going on with the partner
and the information tends to be very
watered down and condensed.
I would highly recommend this book to any
expecting father, it covers both what you
and your partner may be going through and
it is very interesting and has helped my
and my fiances relationship greatly.

Belly Laughs by Jenny McCarthy is
absolutely hilarious. Instead of talking
about what a beautiful experience
pregnancy is most books do she lays all
the dirty not so pretty facts out on the
line for you, from constipation, to
discharge, to horrible headaches, to the
constant urge to have to pee, it's really
educational especially for first time
mothers, and at the same time makes you
laugh out loud. It's also nice to know
that your not the only one going through
some of the not so beautiful parts of
pregnancy, I recommend it to anyone,
including dads to be, my husband read it
as well and found it to be equally and
funny but I think it might have
traumatized him a bit. LOL

thats so funny that I saw this topic
because yes the men do go through a lot.
My hubby got morning sickness. When I cry
he cries. When I am sick for a day he
usually is nausous or cant eat. If I am
sad he can feel it. If I am awake at home
alone he knows and he wants to be with me.
BUt if I am asleep or peaceful he feels
good about being seperated. Its so crazy.
Porr thing though cause the 1st couple of
months were very hard for me.....

I can honestly say that I feel really bad
for my husband sometimes, because he has
to deal with all my problems until I feel
better about them. Especially when I keep
him up all night becasue I can't sleep
becasue my back hurts, or my emotions are
going crazy etc. I think they should have
more pregnancy books that are written for,
and appeal to men. Especialy becasue they
feel so uncomfertable reading about the
subject. (at least it sometimes seems that
way) My husband wants to be involved in
the pregnancy, but he wants it to be fun
and entertaining, not a struggle to find
out how to help me when even I don't know
the answer.
