When I found out I was pregnant the first thing I did, after telling my husband and family, was run to the bookstore and get every book I could find on pregnancy. I had the general book, the week by week book and even a few baby name books. I read them cover to cover and then went and got more. I also picked up a few books for dad along the way. I don’t think the spine was ever even cracked on them. Like most guys, he wanted to be involved but reading a book on pregnancy isn’t his thing. He preferred that I read him the important tidbits while he hit pause on the sports channel. The DVD “Being Dad: A Sneak Peek into Pregnancy From a Guy’s Point of View” was perfect. Not only was the material presented in a way that kept my husband’s attention, but I think that having that information come from other guys and not just his increasingly neurotic pregnant wife would have spoken to him more. The follow-up DVD, “Being Dad 2: Inspiration & Information For New Dads,” picks right up with bring the baby home. Trust me if you have a partner who is anything like mine skip the books. These DVDs will be invaluable during your pregnancy and then when you bring your baby home.
