Review of How to Make a Pregnant Woman Happy: Quick and Effective Home Remedies for over 60 of Pregnancy's Most Common Problems (The Sharpman Edge, 4) (Paperback)

The other reviewers (especially the first one) may have missed the point a little. This book is specifically written FOR DADS and (to be politically correct) "life-partners." It's NOT designed to be a "book for expectant mothers, but which dads-to-be might also enjoy." If there is a dad-to-be in the relationship who actually cares about the mother & child, HE should be the one reading this book. It's a great resource for helping us guys understand what's going on, as well as how to treat our wives/partners like queens. It doesn't pretend to tell us how to completely understand women; that's impossible, especially during pregnancy. It does, however, give advice on how to deal with things in a healthy, positive way.

I appreciate that there's a book like this that explains everything in layman's terms, but with enough depth to keep from insulting my intelligence. I didn't find it condescending at all. In fact, being a first-time dad-to-be, there were many aspects of the pregnancy that I was clueless about. And paternalistic? In my view, since the book was written for men, that's a good thing.
