Dad's Pregnant Too! is the most comprehensive guide to help expectant fathers understand their partners, themselves, and what's really going on inside her belly.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The Chicago author has made a career out of advising teens on growing up. Here he focuses on parenthood. Promising to educate men on pregnancy, this book is stocked with tips and Q&As, perfect to read between administering foot rubs and cooing supportive words." - Chicago Tribune

""I enjoyed this book because I knew when my wife felt pains or had other symptoms conducive to pregnancy, I knew not to overreact. I could assure her that she and the baby was more than likely doing fine, and the little things cropping up were all normal. The book also showed and explained what changes the baby was going through, and its amazing development inside her belly. Knowing what to expect, along with going to her doctor appointments, has really put me at ease since all signs point to a healthy baby."" - The Fruit of His Labor

""Many a times when I read this book, I would burst out in giggles as the author is witty and hilarious while not losing sight of factual information. Dad's Pregnant Too! is so much FUN to read and I wish we had it eight years ago when I was first pregnant. It's definitely THE essential guide, packed with the best advice for expectant couples from the experts and parents who have been there before."" - Mom To BB Reviews

"Cohen explains how life changes during pregnancy and after the baby is born, and how to be a valuable and helpful member of the child-making/raising team. And it's funny and well written." - Raising Arizona Kids

"I now firmly believe that every positive pregnancy test and Soon-to-be-a-Father's Day card should include a copy of Dad's Pregnant, Too! It's the only way a woman can get the sympathy she deserves before her ankles start to swell." - Cool Mom Picks

"Cohen has left nothing out, his sense of humour throughout will be appreciated by all who read this marvelous book. Dads-to-be should be lining up to get their hands on a copy of, Dad's Pregnant Too!
" - Imagination-Cafe

"For any new father who truly wants to be a good father and husband, this is the book for him. It's easy to read, easy to relate to, and most of all it's honest and funny." - Help 4 New Moms

"Cohen's book will touch you with it's raw honesty and make you laugh with its good humor." - Chicago Parent.com

" Dad's Pregnant Too is a great alternative to the other expectancy books out there because your man will actually pick this one up! " - Peekaboo Picks

"Since emotions can be heightened during pregnancy, Cohen felt it was important to offer practical advice on what men should (and shouldn't) do to help out. He also wanted to assist other men with the feelings they might experience during pregnancy but are unable to deal with due to the focus rightly being placed on the mother-to-be and baby." - Tonawanda News

"Pregnancy books are usually aimed at women, obviously, though there are a few notable exceptions, like Christopher Healy's Pop Culture: The Sane Man's Guide to the Insane World of New Fatherhood and Dad's Pregnant, Too by Harlan Cohen." - Boston Globe Parenting Blog

"The book is not a manual, but it is a guide for dads to be and the book's light-hearted nature will keep a smile on your face from start to finish!" - Dad of Divas Blog

"This book answers so many of the questions that dads have in a straightforward, matter of fact way. In every chapter, there is a tip, a story, and the bottom line." - Empowering Mommy Blog

"Dad's Pregnant Too is a great read for any dad to be! This is the season for baby showers (I have at least two!) and would be a great gift for the Dad to be so he can feel included!" - Mami's Time Out

"Comic and comprehensive, DPT offers useful information with lots of humor - so it will probably stick. A great gift book for any expectant dad - especially first time - but even the 7th, 8th, 9th and beyond" - The Mommy Life

"A must-read, step-by-step guide for dads-to-be...provides a realistic picture of what expectant fathers will see, hear, feel and touch." - New York Post

"While it may not be a good title for an expectant mother or female audience, it is about time we have a book all to ourselves and Cohen gives a great effort to make fathers a better equipped part of the pregnancy process." - The Father Life

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazingly informative and fun book June 7, 2008
Format:Paperback
I received a copy of dad's pregnant too a few days ago to give to my niece and her husband who are expecting their first child. I flipped through the book (excellent index) and was amused and amazed by the wealth of useful, informative and entertaining information. I have ordered three more books for colleagues - it's the perfect non-traditional pregnancy gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars great read November 4, 2008
Format:Paperback
I loved this book. I got this great book as a gift and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was really funny and informative. My husband who usually doesn't have the patience to sit down and read actually read whole chapters at a time. A friend of mine was over and started reading it since it was sitting on our coffee table and liked it so much that I gave it to her and I am buying myself another one.

3.0 out of 5 stars Often reads like a journal. August 25, 2009
Format:Paperback
I enjoyed this book a lot. There's a lot of good info for expectant dads. But I feel like it really fell short of being a book for ALL dads and is really a book for dads who work who have partners who do not or will not once the baby is born.

While having the anecdotal stories from folks was nice, too often these stories fell into re-asserting the author's opinions/positions. For instance, in the section about whether to watch the baby come out or not, there were plenty of folks saying to watch but few (if any) saying not to. Guess which one the author preferred?

Also, the book was almost completely centered around working fathers who have partners who will no longer be working. Even in the few and brief mentions of women working, there was nothing about fathers who do not have a job at all and who are the primary care-givers. When the "stay at home" dad was finally introduced at the end of the book, it was a dad who also works from home part time. It seemed like the author had little concept of a father who does not have ANY job aside from his kid(s) -- or if he does, this father was absent from this book. What the author DID include was an entire section on fathers who travel a lot for work because -- guess what -- the author travels at lot for work.

This was a pretty enjoyable book, and it did have a lot of good information. But I couldn't shake the feeling that the author wrote it for himself and fathers like him at the exclusion of others.

There was also no mention of adoption, same-sex couples, religious difficulties during pregnancy and childbirth, and the author constantly hawks his website, which is deserted. I don't mean to sound harsh, but it could have been a much better book and probably will be in future editions.
