Curtis, Glade B. (author.). Schuler, Judith, (author.).

Summary: Fully updated and expanded, the essential one-stop guide for dads-to-be. Pregnancy can be a thrilling adventure for a couple. Although most attention is directed toward the mum-to-be, the nine months of pregnancy are an exciting, moving - and yes, occasionally stressful - time for the expectant father as well. Written with the needs of the dad-to-be in mind, this book includes a comprehensive glossary of terms, a resource section, up-to-date medical information, and tips for supporting your partner during pregnancy and the birth of your new baby.
