Reddit mentions of The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips, and Advice for Dads-to-Be (New Father Series)

Congratulations! My wife is due in July, and we both have enjoyed reading: http://www.amazon.com/Expectant-Father-Advice-Dads-Be/dp/0789210797/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_c

I don't mean to be an asshole, but that book fucking sucked.

This book is much better :

My husband liked The Expectant Father. He said it left some to be desired and was annoying at points but was the best book for fathers, by far.

I just ordered this book for my husband. It seemed practical and non-patronizing. A lot of the other dad books seem to be written by dumbass frat boys. I wanted something that would help him understand what's going to be happening without a lot of boob and fart jokes.

I found The Expectant Father to be a pretty good read. My wife has read "What to expect" but from my shoulder-surfing, it's more geared to women (including have somewhat insulting "For the Father" sidebars about what women should tell their husbands)

Instead of the normal fruit for sizes, it uses sports balls. It also does a lot of encouraging for the dad to be involved, and covers the "everyone is asking how she's feeling" and also covers stuff about sympathetic pregnancy.

Did a quick search in this sub to find:
