 Written on May 5, 2008 Summary: Perfect for both parents My husband had this book bought as a gift. He's finished the whole thing as I just started my 8 month. He loved it. It had such good information in it he's referred to several of his friends and strangers we've come across. A few pages he made me read about what to pack and what to expect during delivery at the hospital. Excellent book! Written on April 28, 2008 Summary: Good source of quick (and in-depth) information The format of the book is particularily helpful in that it presents the reader with the quick, down-and-dirty information that one is looking for, but also digs a bit deeper. So far, I have found the timing of the information to be perfect with regard to what I am looking for and which concerns may arise with regard to gestational timing. This is my first child, so the information is especially appreciated.  Written on April 18, 2008 Summary: Sadly, a bit outdated It wasn't until I made it quite far into the book that I realized that a lot of it just seemed a bit outdated. And then I checked the date it was published - 2001. This book is in serious need of an update! Certainly, there is a lot of valuable advice that shouldn't be discounted, but there is much that has changed that relying merely on this book for us guys is not a good thing. The book does a very good job talking about what partners go through during the pregnancy and I am sure many of us can relate. OTOH, there are some areas in the book that the authors probably weren't well qualified to discuss. For instance, there is a chapter on finance and money. The authors try to make a case or should we say gratuitous advertisement promoting financial planners. The last sentence of the chapter about sums it up: "So, unless you're a financial planner, stockbroker or insurance agent yourself, you've probably got no business making major financial decisions without advice." This is about the biggest bunch of BS in the book. Personally, I have never had the need to spend/waste money on a financial planner and have done just fine. In fact, I know of too many folks who have gotten burned by financial planners. All I can say is buyer beware. It doesn't take much effort to learn about investing and you will be better off. The book casually discusses C-sections and merely shrugs off the fact that 30% of births in the US end this way. The authors neglect to mention that the US has one of the worse rates of C-sections in developed countries and that the rate has risen from less than 5% to over 30% in the last 30 years. Regardless of how you and your partner choose to have your baby, you will be doing yourself a big favor watching a wonderful documentary called "The Business of Being Born". This documentary discusses many of the factors that have led to countless numbers of C-sections, an overwhelming majority of which were unnecessary. Hospitals make huge bucks from the meds such as Pitocin, and possibility of getting to do a C-section that it is amazing when a new mom can escape with a total natural birth void of any of these. I will give the authors credit for recommending Doulas, which is some of the best advice in the book. Written on April 15, 2008 Summary: Infortmative and borning The book has a lot of relevant information and the author does provide a lot of "dad-tips" but it can be really boring and quite a dry read. Expectant dad should read this, but because it's so dry, a lot of guys won't get through the first few chapters. Written on April 7, 2008 Summary: My partner won't read... I don't recommend this book simply because my partner wouldn't read more than the intro. He said it was just like my books and he might as well read mine. However, I do highly recommend Be Prepared! (I saw him sneak it off to work today). It's a great read for me too! |
