Commando Dad: New Recruits: A Guide to Pregnancy and Birth for Dads-to-Be

This essential guide to pregnancy offers everything the expecting father needs to know in the run-up to the birth, or "deployment day." Packaged like an army training manual and written in guy-friendly, no-nonsense military speak, it presents month-by-month overviews of the baby's development, the lowdown on pregnancy symptoms, tips for supporting the mom-to-be, a guide to prenatal care, and what to expect during labor and beyond. With expert advice, easy-to-follow information, and commentary from other first-time fathers, it's the go-to reference for the dad-to-be who wants to prepare himself—mentally, physically, and emotionally—for the arrival of his new recruit.
