Pregnant Man: How Nature Makes Fathers Out of Men
Gordon Churchwell's wife is pregnant. Immediately, she swings into action, buying baby clothes, toys, and supplies, and consulting a never-ending stack of pregnancy books. Gordon? He's having an out-of-body experience. Pregnant Man is the hilarious and touching story of Gordon's nine-month evolution from clothes husband to birth partner and coparent. Along the way, this regular guy stumbles across some amazing discoveries that are important to both sexes. Starting with hi sown morning sicknesses, Gordon finds out the researchers have long documented that many men have pregnancy symptoms. The latest scientific findings also reveal a male hormonal response that helps them empathize with their partners and prepare for fatherhood.

...read this one. Early in my wife's pregnancy, I bought Pregnant Man used for under a dollar; what a deal! It was the most useful and comforting book I read on impending fatherhood, and I have since sent it to several other pregnant (male) friends. Support the author: buy it new!

Does a great job of relating to what the father is going through. Absolutely hysterical and very real. Had both my husband and I laughing every page. Churchwell's research into the role of the father through history and in many cultures provides insight not found in "what to expect" and the rest of that stack. His display of backbone with overbearing hospital staff during labor and delivery is inspiring without being rude. Our copy is getting well-read!
