Hiya
First, longed-for pregnancy for me and my DH. DD Dec. Both of us realising we have managed to get this far very little about what's to come despite being old gits of 39 and 42.

I'm now information-gathering online at warp speed, but would welcome book recommendations for me and him.

He just wants ONE book that explains it all that he can refer to which tells him what to expect, how to help, how to cope clearly and simply and what's going on week by week and why etc.

Only book I have seen for men was full of not-very-funny 'laddy' stuff' ie. Week 6, her tits hurt lots, don't grab them, make her some mint tea when she pukes'. OTOH the detailed pregnancy manuals are probably way too detailed and obviously aimed at women so not really what he was after either.

I'd tell him to read on here but he doesn't 'do' the internet, after looking at a screen all day for work he says his eyes hurt.

Oh and any books you think worth investing in for me then please let me know too. I tend to assume everything can be found online for free but would like a book to read in the bath

Thanks v. much

I bought my DH 'Pregnancy for Men- the whole 9 months'. Is quite funny in places but also has good medical details and practical preparation for the baby
