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 in the dark 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 steep learning curve (and lived to tell) that comes when having a baby.

Review by D. Johnson for The Dudes’ Guide to Pregnancy: Dealing with Your Expecting Wife, Coming Baby, and the End of Life as You Knew It

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy this book. I found the book very entertaining. I agree with other reviews that men need to be careful in letting their wives read it too. It’s very irreverent towards pregnancy. I am unable to give it a full 5 stars because I was hoping for a book that was more educational. This is not the book to read if your looking for sincere knowledge. This is 100% for entertainment.

Even I thought this was funny and I am the pregnant wife… though pregnant women may want to wait to read this til AFTER they have been through pregnancy… otherwise you may have to hurt your husband:)

Your wife is pregnant. Congratulations! Now it’s time to buy this book, because life as you knew it is going to change–big time.
The Dudes’ Guide to Pregnancy, in spite of the very long title, is aptly named, because a woman does go through major changes, physically and mentally, with the news of an upcoming baby. The Dudes’ Guide to Pregnancy will take you, a dude, though the entire pregnancy (and if you are one of the ones who are planning to get your wife or significant other pregnant, then the authors will talk you through that part too). And then they’ll tell you about the ways your life will change after the baby is born.
The Dudes’ Guide to Pregnancy promised to be funny reading, which is why I requested to review it. It didn’t disappoint. However, there is a warning toward the beginning of the book that this book is not written for females, and under no circumstances let a woman read it…there is good reason for this. The language used is very graphic, and they use straight guy-talk, with no beating around the bush.
Over all, the book is pretty accurate about what a pregnancy might be like. I found some of the situations a bit (okay, a lot) overdone, but they were funny to read. They also include sections about myth/fact where they can dispel myths–or not–with humor.
I enjoyed reading The Dudes’ Guide to Pregnancy, even though I’m not a dude and I am a female, and can see where it would be helpful for male reading when they get the news “We’re having a baby!”

The first thing which must be said is this book is only for guys. This book is off-limits to opposite gender.
Yes, this book is crude, irreverent, unapologetic, and full of testosterone (also known as guy humor.) There’s also swearing in the book . There are also three sketches of possible sex positions (WOO-HOO) of a dude with a hairy chest and a huge bushy mustache. The censored blocks are in place to prevent any dude from seeing any line art erotica. If you are offended by this you are most likely NOT A DUDE! (Refer to the first paragraph.)
This book is blatantly honest with a heaping helping of sarcasm mixed in.
The “Dudes” discuss every aspect any soon-to-be dad would be interested to know (or at least be comforted to realize they’re not the only ones going through this.)
I’m looking forward to any sequels such as: Dude’s guide to vasectomy, toddlers, teenagers, etc…

I bought this and My Guys Can Swim for my Daddy-to-be thinking it would be cute to stick in a funny book with all the other serious books we planned to get through before baby arrived. Initially he seemed interested and even picked it up to read the same evening I gave it to him, but soon it ended up on the bookshelf with all the other discarded and/or previously read books. I later confronted him about the book, asking if he liked it or finished it. He confessed he felt it was stupid and not worth his time. Thankfully he was still interested in the serious books, so I didn’t really care. I would suggest checking it out at your local library before purchasing.
