Experience the highs and lows of pregnancy from the “absolutely hysterical” perspective of a first-time Dad (Jenny McCarthy).

From the moment he learns the pregnancy test is positive to the end of his son’s first year of life, Michael Crider is awed, anxious, and all-too-human. In between these milestones, he endures the aches and pains of his wife’s pregnancy.

Honest, hilarious, and heartwarming, The Guy’s Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the First Year of Fatherhood is a must-read for all new parents.

Genre:

  • Nonfiction
  • Family & Relationships
  • Parenting
  • Fatherhood

Michael Crider is the author of The Guy's Guide to Surviving Pregnancy, Childbirth, and the First Year of Fatherhood, and The Guy's Guide to Dating, Getting Hitched, and Surviving the First Year of Marriage. He lives in Tennessee with his wife and son.

  • "Funny, true, and often times racy, Crider's book is refreshing...first-time dads will learn plenty from his anecdotes because they'll be going through the same thing."
    Boston Parents Paper/Bay Area Parent
  • "This book will grab you and not let you go-a must read. The perfect gift for Father's Day...A great read for Dad or a special man in your life."
    Nashville City Paper
  • "Refreshing...That The Guy's Guide's making you laugh is its first priority, over delivering a few sensible tips and advice, is proof of its effectiveness."
    Chicago Tribune
  • "Books for expectant fathers are usually drier than a talcumed bottom, but Crider's is a hilarious, shoot-from-the-hip take on what to expect pre- and postpartum."
    Life
  • "Lighthearted and humorous take on pregnancy and beyond...Certainly a lot more entertaining than What to Expect When You're Expecting."
    Boston Globe
  • "Funny, somewhat informative and a little mushy, this book is just what the doctor ordered."
    Newsday
