Synopsis
This book takes a "warts and all", sensible-yet-humorous look at the many stages of pregnancy. It explores the changes—physical and emotional—that any man can expect to see in his partner and in their relationship over the coming months. As a father himself, Smith realized when his partner Lisa became pregnant that there was nothing out there that he could relate to. The Bloke's Guide to Pregnancy is the result. Jon takes a comical yet informed look at the ups and downs of life as a father to be.
