Very informative

Great read! My wife is 5 months pregnant and I feel much more prepared now!

Exciting adventure

When my wife told me we were pregnant I was the happiest I have ever been, we were going to have a baby! She has given so much of her adult life to full time mission work serving vulnerable/at risk pregnant teenagers in Africa Kenya, now she was going to carry and care for her own child.

Few weeks down the line it dawned on me that her life, lifestyle and entire future was going to change dramatically, morning sickness, distaste for her normally exciting things, foods activities you name it. That was when I started researching on how and when I can be part of this journey with her. Earlier in 2018 I had acquired a paralegal for dummies that was the most valuable purchase I had ever made, hopping to finding one I went online and found Dad’s Guide to Pregnancy and sure enough I have loved every page and sections of it. Sure the journey won’t stop here for me but I feel confident in our conversation about what my wife is experiencing and what is soon to come.

Every man who desires to be a dad one day should take up the challenge and get to know more about your wife, yourself and your soon to come bundle of joy.

Some good info. A lot of useless info.

I felt like 70% of the book was just rambling off really uninsightful common sense information, like a lazy college student trying to make up a word count. Like there was an entire chapter about how to manage finances where they went on and on about cancelling your Netflix, don't eat at restaurants etc. I really don't think anyone bought the book for those incredible insights.

And then the absurd section on vaccinations. Basically saying it's a matter of opinion whether you should vaccinate your child, are you serious?

I don't really feel like I learnt much from this book.
