The Expectant Father

The Expectant Father: Facts, Tips, and Advice for Dads-to-Be

Armin A. Brott & Jennifer Ash

This indispensable book explores the emotional, financial, and even physical changes the father-to-be may experience during his partner’s pregnancy. Written in an easy-to-absorb format and filled with sound advice and practical tips for men on such topics as: how to make sense of your conflicting emotions; how pregnancy affects your sex life; and how to start a college fund.

This volume reassures, commiserates, and informs. It also incorporates the wisdom of top experts in the field, from obstetricians and birth-class instructors to psychologists and sociologists.

This new edition features the latest research on many topics (and there’s a ton of it), from expanding sections on: overcoming infertility; in vitro; artificial insemination and other tech-assisted pregnancies especially where dad is not the biological parent; to: updating the sections on childbirth to reflect the fact that about 80% of deliveries are now done with epidurals, and new information on C-sections as well. Sections on prenatal communication and education have also been expanded.
