You're Pregnant Too, Mate!: The Essential Guide to Expectant Fathers

"I bought this book for my husband after he stated that he didn't need to know anything about pregnancy, just about how to look after a baby!!! He has shown no interest in the "fathers" sections of my books, yet he has really got into reading this one. After hearing his sniggers whilst reading it I decided to have a quick read, and I have to admit it is very amusing but gets the facts across in an easy reading way. Would definately recommend this to anyone who is expecting."

"Aimed at a market for limited intellect. Avoid at all costs. Written with the aim of low-level pub humour. Luckily it was passed on to me and so did not waste money on it. Who prints this stuff and why?"

"I was bought this book by a friend who told me take everything in it with a pinch of salt, which I did and thoroughly enjoyed it. It isn't meant to be serious so don't buy it if you want a textbook for fatherhood (Dr Miriam Stoppard's book does that and is written to Mums and Dads rather than just the Mums, something of a rarity in books of that style, and it has turned out to be a bible for my wife and me). However, if you are looking for a bit of fun, this is great. I admit that some of the jokes are a bit 'laddish' but others had me laughing out loud which is something I do rarely when reading. Despite saying that this book isn't particularly factual, the one thing it did for me was help address some of the fears I had about becoming a parent. It was a great help for me to read that what I was feeling was normal, and the 'down to earth' fashion it was written in was something that I really appreciated. Overall, recommended but as a bit of fun rather than a serious read. "

"I bought this book for my husband. We looked through a whole load of books aimed at expectant fathers and this was the only one that was written by a normal person, the rest seemed to be written by public school educated snobs with a narrow point of view about the type of person reading.
Well normal people read too! I think he includes rather than excludes people with his writting. This guy made me laugh till I cried!
When my husband took it to work, he had all his colleagues reading it too! Male, female, young or old - it's a funny and informative book."

"My partner bought me this during her pregnancy and I thought it was hilarious. I'm not a beer swilling, FHM reading chav-lad, but I do enjoy a pint and a laugh with my mates. I thought this book was genuinely funny and it made me laugh out loud. I think it is well written and I have a degree in English and teach secondary school English.

The negative reviewers appear to assume that this book is meant as a practical and comprehensive guide to being a father which it never even pretends to be. Rather, it is a piece of light-hearted fun aimed at cheering dads to be up whilst simultaneously acknowledging that pregnancy and child-birth can be incredibly stressful for men. Now where's the harm in that?"
