Pregnancy and Men : Your First Step Toward a Great Parenthood

"A breath of fresh air, a well executed guide for first time fathers with a flair to connect to the readers " ~ Pennie Mae Cartawick. Author of the Sherlock Holmes book series

"There is so much information about the joys (and hazards!) of starting a family that it makes for fun reading for all" ~ Grady Harp HALL OF FAME TOP 100 REVIEWER

This is not a medical guide to Pregnancy. Primarily aimed at first-time fathers, this guidebook not only helps men understand the process they go through when dealing with pregnancy but also shows them how they can participate in positive ways.

Author Pratik Patil offers information and advice that doesn’t appear in other pregnancy guides. The main purpose of this book is to help men help their wives during pregnancy and also to teach them how to take care of their own physical and mental health in their journey into pregnancy.

Expectant fathers will learn how to prepare their bodies to promote a successful pregnancy, how they can support their wives during those nine months, and how to handle a newborn infant, along with other tips on parenting—all of which is the first step toward being a great dad.

But Pregnancy and Men isn’t just for men. It also enlightens women about what their husbands go through during pregnancy. Encouraging empathy, responsibility, and a positive attitude, it’s a must-read for anyone planning to start a family.

Born and raised in India, Pratik Patil became the first engineer in a family of doctors and lawyers. He holds a master's degree in computer science from the University of Southern California and works in the field of Internet advertising in Irvine, CA. He is the proud father of an energetic four-year-old girl named Urja.

He was the first among his circle of friends to become a father, and when they started asking him for a lot advice-knowing that they felt lost-he decided to write this book to help all first time fathers to understand the process better and how to deal with it with a positive mindset.
