When a couple gets pregnant, typically the first thing the mother-to-be does is rush out to the bookstore to buy the various pregnancy bibles. But how is the expectant father supposed to know what to expect? He could wait and take his cues from his partner, or he could prepare himself for anything and everything by seeking the counsel of two regular dudes, who have climbed the learning curve (and lived to tell). The guide dispenses irreverent, honest, practical advice for the expectant father in an easy-to-understand-often hilarious-man-to-man format. Taking you through the entire 9-month process, the Dudes offer advice on what to expect from your newly pregnant wife (paranoia, morning sickness, enlarged breasts, no sex); the dos and don'ts of dealing with your wife's body and mood changes, your mother-in-law and other family members; and the nitty-gritty details of what is expected of you and how your life will be changing during the next 40 weeks. THE DUDES' GUIDE gives 20-something to 40-something men the indespensible tools and advice they need to maneuver the many ups and downs associated with impending fatherhood.
