Armin Brott - best-selling author, broadcaster, nationally syndicated columnist, and dad of three - is America's foremost expert on fatherhood. His wisdom, along with the advice of leading obstetricians and researchers, and the experience of hundreds of real-life dads, is collected here in The Expectant Father, the essential guide for dads-to-be.

Each chapter covers:

This fully revised fourth edition also includes:
    More information about adoptions, multiples, infertility and assisted reproductive technology, and dads in the military
    A special section on labor and delivery: what to expect on the big day
    A special section on what comes next in the first few months after the baby's arrival
    A handy resource section connecting you to the best information on every topic related to pregnancy and fatherhood

Illustrated throughout with stress-relieving New Yorker-style cartoons, The Expectant Father is a friendly and readable companion for dads-to-be seeking confidence, guidance, and joy. (Mums will love it, too!)
