John Pfeiffer, 2011-03-18 There are approximately 3,712 ways for a guy to look stupid during pregnancy - this book's here to help you avoid all(most) of them.

Can we still have sex? Why's the midwife doing that? How do I make up a bottle and is that poo normal? Dad's role is more important than you might ever have imagined, so what can you do to help?

Think of this as a papery man hug in what is a potentially treacherous world of terminology, hormones, social change, sleep deprivation and finally dirty nappies with tiny feet attached.' |
