From AudioFile:

With its 24-page booklet to hold onto with white knuckles, all fathers-to-be should hear this intelligent collection of insights, medical information, and guidance about pregnancy. It's a month-by-month account of the physical and emotional changes a woman goes through, and an entertaining preview of the sea changes in family life, including finances and new divisions of labor, that men will have to embrace while waiting for their baby. Armin Brott is a natural at the microphone. With his flinty tone and assertive diction, he radiates confidence without any hint of cockiness or adversarial sarcasm. He's your slightly more experienced and wry-humored neighbor who just happens to know a lot about pregnancy and enjoys being helpful while you're waiting for the blessed event to occur.
