The Pregnancy Instruction Manual: Essential Information, Troubleshooting Tips, and Advice for Parents-to-Be: 7 (Owner's and Instruction Manual) - Softcover

Great for Dads! This little book is aimed more at Dads, its set up like a Haynes car manual, its a fun way of looking at pregnancy starting from early pregnancy through to when the baby arrives, its informative and light hearted. I gave it to my husband to read and he laughed at lots of comments his favourite being about snoring, he enjoyed the book more so than I did. All in all a great little book, worth a read...... This is quick and easy to read and a good size which can fit in your handbag. I got this when I was 7 months pregnant so it would have been better to have earlier in pregnancy. It is American and so I thought some of it not relevant for expectant mothers in UK. I liked the simple, quirky pictures and lists such as what to pack in hospital bag. This would probably be a good book for fathers-to-be to read. Overall a good, light hearted read which gives the basics and ideal for first --The baby website, March, 2010
