Summary of Armin A. Brott & Jennifer Ash's The Expectant Father

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The embryo is about eight cells by the end of the first month. It will continue to divide and grow until it is about one quarter inch long, and will have a heart but no brain, and tiny arm and leg buds. #2 The author had the white bathrobe he was wearing the morning he and his wife found out they were expecting. He remembers feeling excited and relieved. He’d always wanted to have children, and now it seemed that all his dreams were coming true. #3 After the initial excitement passes, a surprising number of men find themselves experiencing an irrational fear that the child their partner is carrying is not theirs. This is usually because they’re not capable of doing anything as incredible as creating life, and they think someone else must have done the job. #4 Most women experience relief from morning sickness around the third month of pregnancy. You can help your partner cope by giving her some good news, helping her maintain a high-protein, high-carbohydrate diet, and avoiding fatty or spicy foods that might make her sick.
