A Bun in the Oven - The Pregnancy Diary of a Dad to Be [Paperback]

Peter Naldrett (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 5, 2007

When the blue line appeared on the pregnancy test it was the scariest moment of Peter Naldrett's life. Even though the whole thing had been planned for months, it still made him want to move to Mongolia and bury his head in the sand in a desperate attempt to deny it was happening. An extra mouth to feed and the prospect of not sleeping for a few years was suddenly the most frightening thing in the world. Happily, things didn't turn out as bad as first thought and his pregnancy experience had just as many thrills as it did anxieties. Throughout the highs and lows of his life's strangest nine months, Peter kept a diary of his experiences and shares all in this emotive, informative and comical account. Whether you already have kids or are expecting some any time soon, there is something in this fatherly account that will strike a chord. It's not a book about the perfect pregnancy - it's a book about an average pregnancy and how it makes the parents involved want to pull their hair out as well as grin from ear to ear. So if you have ever worried about getting stretch marks, fretted about coping with mood swings or just wondered how on Earth that huge baby is going to get out of the mother's tummy, this book will reassure you that your stresses are normal. It will take hold of you, give you a hug and hopefully make you sleep easier. At least until the crying starts.
