Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
In the television show Growing Pains, Thicke portrayed Hollywood's notion of the ideal father. In his book, he ventures into real-world fatherhood, chronicling the pregnancy of his second wife, Gina. It's not his first turn at fatherhood, so he's able to examine how the process has changed in recent years: home ovulation kits, home pregnancy tests, child birthing classes, an empathy belly contraption tied around the father's waist to simulate the travails of carrying a baby in the womb. Thicke offers humorous tips on preparing for parenthood by, for example, smearing peanut butter on furniture. Then he begins a month-by-month guide through pregnancy from a decidedly male perspective. The prototypical woman he uses (presumably Gina) is a whiner with every conceivable stereotypical pain and discomfort of pregnancy and attitudes to match. Thicke entertains a scenario of a pregnant woman president negotiating with some global trouble spot--"Estro-Babe" with her finger on the hot button. But much of his material is funny, and some of it is serious. It actually is a guide through fertilization, gestation, and birth. Thicke offers a barrage of statistics: the cost of a lifetime of child rearing, the connection between birth weight and juvenile diabetes, the fact that 20 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Interspersed throughout the book are little celebrity quips on pregnancy and child rearing, including insights by Cuba Gooding Jr., Bill Maher, and Kathie Lee Gifford. Of little practical use to pregnant women but others might find it useful and amusing. Vanessa Bush

As a future daddy, I was looking for some words of advice and tips as to how I can support my wife during her pregnancy. I chose this book for two reasons. One, It was written by one I respect as a better than your average actor. Two, it was new on the market and there were no reviews for it. I was disappointed in the book. It seemed a little tacky and a few punch lines were added for humor. The book sits on my bookshelf ready for the next garage sale. If you are an expecting father, I found the next book that I bought to be the most useful: "The Expectant Father : Facts, Tips, and Advice for Dads-To-Be"

His book rambles on and on. He talks about his life in Hollywood, his trophy wife and the Miss America pageant, renovating his guest house, his birth place in Canada, his teenage kids and a lot of other drivel. Where is the info about having a baby? Occassionally he'll touch on some pregnancy things but he jumps around so much it's hard to follow. If you're interested in Alan Thicke's life buy the book if you're interested in pregnancy from a guy's perspecitive forget it!

After reading so many books that are filled with facts, statistics etc. It was REALLY fun to sit down with a lighthearted book that really made me laugh. I already knew the odds of a pregnant woman over 40 giving birth to a baby with Downs Syndrome, and why it's not OK to drink while you're pregnant. This is not the reason I went to a book by Alan Thicke. If you just need to be entertained and relate to the stories he tells, buy this book!

No doubt that he knows what he's talking about!
Mr. Thicke has done a wonderful job of capturing how a new father feels. It's hard to find a good pregnancy/parenting book for fathers, but this one has got my vote. Lesen Sie weiter...
