Being Dad: For Dads-to-be and the Women Who Love Them

Description

Being Dad is the bloke's guide to pregnancy, birth and babies. Whether the dad-to-be would rather undergo Chinese water torture than attend a child birth class or is keen as mustard but utterly clueless about all things baby, this is the book for him. Holt and Jones have interrogated hundreds of men and discovered what dads-to-be are most confused and worried about. On the way they've also helpfully exposed what mums and dads to-be are thinking during the different stages of pregnancy. Whether you'll be into sex, or not, whether you need to buy a Toyota Tarago right now, what to do if you go into labour in the car park at Woolies: the answers are in Being Dad, dished up with reassuring info and irreverent humour.

Sam Holt was in greater denial about becoming a father than any man before him. After the birth of son Hugo, Holt decided to discover what becoming a dad was like for others. A serial 'ideas man', he decided to create a guide for couples and dads-to-be with friend and filmmaker Troy Jones and thus Being Dad was born. Troy Jones is a 33-year-old law student, comedian and owner of a small advertising agency. He is a proud father of Matilda and Charlie. Telling dads-to-be the way it really is earned this regular Joe a place in the US Parents' Hall of Fame.
