Ok, maybe that's a bit of a jokey title. But seriously, it's just naturalto ask how your relationship with your girlfriend or wife is going to change,now that she's pregnant.When we were expecting our son, my husband got lots of that jokey kind ofteasing from his male friends, and of course we both got lots of motherly advice(and not just from the two future grandmothers!) but what he wanted, and didn'tknow where to get, was some straight talk on just what to expect, as a futureDad.He was trying his best to be understanding and supportive, while also tryingto get his head around becomming a parent (we both were) and there were someother issues all couples have, like "Can we really afford to have a baby?" and"Are we really ready for this?" and the other things just about every coupleworries about.Of course, it all worked out (it always does) but this book would have beensuch a help - just straight-forward, practical info and advice, and it deliversexactly what the title says, how to stay sane and be a true support to yourwife or girlfriend during those wonderful, crazy, strange 9 months before thebaby arrives - and even how to relax (somewhat) and enjoy it.If this is you, this is a helpful, re-assuring book, fast and easy to read andfull of practical info and common sense good advice for new Dads-to-be.
