My Boys Can Swim!: The Official Guy's Guide to Pregnancy

Finally?A Pregnancy Book That Won't Put Men to Sleep
My Boys Can Swim! tells real men everything they really want to know about pregnancy, such as: How much is it going to cost? Why does your wife primp before seeing her doctor when she hasn't put a stitch of make-up on for you in months? And, most important, what's it going to do to your sex life?
This rollicking, laugh-out-loud book is for expectant dads in search of bottom-line pregnancy information, without all that boring touchy-feely stuff you find in those books written for women. Inside you'll discover helpful?and hilarious?information and insights on such topics as:
The Maternity Wardrobe: "A key part of the maternity wardrobe is maternity underwear?parachute-like undies big enough to fit an NFL defensive lineman."
Baby Names: "Don't give your kids mockable names like Thaddeus, which is Greek for 'I'm a dork and should be beaten up.'"
The Birth: "No one told me it's normal that babies' heads can be misshapen at birth. I was convinced that my wife gave birth to Veldar, the conehead."

Great book for men who never read

I felt bad buying all sorts of books for myself, so I picked this one up for my husband. I couldn't believe my eyes when I actually saw him reading it! I have never seen him read anything aside from the sports section in the paper. He read it front to back in one night, laughing out loud at...

He thought it was corny

I bought this for my Daddy-to-be thinking it would be cute to stick in a funny book with all the other serious books we planned to get through before baby arrived. Initially he seemed interested and even picked it up to read the same evening I gave it to him, but soon it ended up on the bookshelf...

My Boys Can Swim Review

This book was smaller than I thought it would be for 9.99. My fiance liked that is was small, but he said that most of the book was about the author's own experiences and opinions, not really as educational and informational as he would have liked. A good book for someone who does not want to...

Great book for those real men

I am not a big reader but my wife bought this for me for my first kid. Wow what a great book. It is easy reading for sure. I finished the book in a day or 2. I am saving it to pass to my best friend when he has his first kid.

Good for Daddy's who don't really like to read about pregnancy

I got this for my husband in The Army, who was away for the majority of my pregnancy. I got it for him because I seemed like an easy read and it is filled with humor. I thought it was funny and explained some of the behaviors of pregnant women in a light funny way. For example, it says that...

He Loved It!

I bought this book for my husband to read. He has been more excited about the pregancy than I have (right now all I am is sick all the time). He loved this book to the point that he felt compelled to read parts of it out loud to me whether I was paying attention to him or not. The only down...

Great for dads, even moms who want laughs

My mother in law bought us books to read and got this one for my fiance. He is in Afghanistan at the moment and so I received the book to send and decided to read it first myself. I laughed pretty hard a few times to say the least and decided this is the perfect book for my fiance for two main...

Absolute Crap

This book is completely awful!!! I bought this book for my husband, thinking that it would help him better understand the issues of pregency. The comments about childbirth classes and having an epidural are awful (you are told that your wife should be given one, whether she wants one or not....

Fantastic!

My husband blazed through this book in a day, laughing through most of it. Although there were a handful of topics I thought were missing, it was thorough enough for him. I plan to buy this book for every first-time dad I know in the future!

Author is obviously unhappy about his wife having a baby...

I bought this book for my husband after reading some reviews on Amazon.com. According to the reviews, this sounded like a fun book. I read the book when we received it (in about 45 minutes, that's how small it is), and I was very disappointed. While the author tries to hide it with humor, he is...
