"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." (

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. (
