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."Editorial Descriptions are usually submitted by the manufacturers, publishers and authors.

I purchased this book for my husband after finding out we were expecting our first child. After reading the whole thing in about an hour, I didn't even bother to give it to my husband. It's a cute and fun read, but it's light on actual details and information. The book wasn't what I was looking for, but if you can't get your partner to read anything more serious or in-depth, this is probably a good bet to try and expose him to the "guy's" version of what's going to go on.

This book is a great relief for the expectant dad who doesn't know what to do or how to handle the joy/stress/excitement. The actual useful information is not as plenty, but the fun of reading someone else's follies and realizing that every concerned, expectant father goes through a roller coaster of events, feelings, worries, etc., is very reassuring. SO, I would advise this book if you would like to laugh, but not if you want a week-by-week or month-by-month guide that encompasses all of the issues one might face sans humor. There are others (ex. What to Expect When Your Wife is Expecting) that give just the facts.

I bought this book to give to my son who will be a first time father this summer. I meant to give him a NEW book but ended up giving him a USED book. I read it first. It is very funny and I found myself laughing out loud! Reading it I found myself remembering when I was pregnant and the antidotes are so true.
A FUN book for future parents and grandparents.

My husband is not a reader. The only times he reads is when he is on "the throne". I was extremely happy when he took this into the bathroom. He would come out laughing. He loved this book. We have loaned it out to all the couples we have known that have become pregnant. This book is a must have for men.

My husband read this book and I actually heard him chuckling out load at parts. This is an awesome book for the casual read about your wifes pregnancy. There are no medical facts to this book but there are enough views and ideas in this book for a first time father to be to get an idea about pregnancy without being bored out of their minds by the doctor speak in so many other books. I read it too and it was funny and there are a lot of truths in this book...they are just put at you as a first person view of things, it is a good book for the man that hates to read long drawn out books.
