Synopsis

A personal diary of coping with a first pregnancy, written by a father-to-be. It examines the feelings, fears and frustrations that every new dad goes through, and contains practical advice to help other prospective fathers enjoy the journey better. One father-to-be's journal of the nine months from conception to birth, and how it feels from a dad's perspective, filled with useful tips and advice on coping with everything from sex to being invisible. The diary format means that the book is frank, honest and often very funny in its account of the typical feelings a prospective father goes through: how to react to his partner's moods and worries, how to cope with midwives who ignore him, how to support his partner through the bad times, and how to be a tower of strength during labour when he too is lost and frightened.
