Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This follow-up to Kimes’s first book, Pregnancy Sucks, written with Kimes’s husband and targeted to men who may bear witness to a sucky pregnancy, features a large, hairy, presumably male tummy on the cover. Those who don’t find the image amusing probably won’t enjoy the humor in this survival manual. The Kimeses make a valid point—although it isn’t socially acceptable to complain about the vagaries of gestation, it can be a difficult process fraught with pain of the physical and emotional kind—but their approach to dealing with these challenges may be a bit off-putting: "your wife should be treated like any other savage creature ready to attack." Snarky comments aside, the book does provide useful information. In addition to explaining how a woman’s body changes—and the baby grows—with each month, the book includes worksheets ("How Much Does it Cost to Raise a Baby?"), suggestions ("Must-Have Things for the Delivery Room"), a list of pregnancy-related terms and a resources section.

Product Description

In Pregnancy Sucks for Men, the hilarious follow-up to Joanne Kimes' Pregnancy Sucks, the author and her husband, Jeff, tell it like it is and show men how they can help out without doing the chore wrong; understand and cope with their wives' emotional rollercoaster rides; and duck for cover when the mood swings are aimed at their heads.

Prescriptive and hilarious, Pregnancy Sucks for Men enables the father-to-be to:

  • Avoid getting puked on - now that his wife has a superhuman sense of smell
  • Offer and prepare the right foods when the woman of his dreams turns into a frightening hungry beast
  • Woo his wife into bed with romance, good timing, and by getting the housework done

    Arranged in a convenient, month-by-month format and broken up by guy-on-the-street quotes, Pregnancy Sucks for Men is the one pregnancy book a man will proudly read for himself.

    5.0 out of 5 stars a great gift for baby showers!, February 9, 2005
    By M. Kimberly (valencia, california) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    My husband and I were a little overwhelmed when we got pregnant. After we received Pregnancy Sucks for Men for a shower gift, my husband and could laugh and relax a little more about the prospect of becoming parents. This book was very funny. Both of Kimes books Pregnancy Sucks and Pregnancy Sucks for Men are hilarious as well as informative. I am going to give them as gifts for every baby shower!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Therapy, December 27, 2006
    When my wife was enduring some very un-funny complications (near tragic), this very funny (and informative) book was the emotional medicine I needed in staying the course as the rock of support. Until I read this, it was very difficult to find reason to laugh.

    5.0 out of 5 stars this book is awesome, May 6, 2007
    By G. Laymon (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    I was my first child when given this book as a gift. It is the perfect book for a guy who has a hard time reading the same books your wife is reading (what to expect, girlfriends guide) because those were all written for the female. This book speaks in guy terms and is a humorous (yet accurate) approach towards dealing with pregnancy. I have passed on my copy to other friends and have purchased many copies for friends who are expecting babies. This is a great read!
