Down to Earth with a Bump: The Diary of a First-Time Dad

As the husband of a family doctor, Andrew always thought having a baby would be plain sailing. Unfortunately, as he and his wife soon discovered, babies don't always read the textbooks. This is a story about the most turbulent time in any couple's life. It's for every woman wondering what their partner's really thinking, and for every man wanting reassurance but unsure who to ask. It's for every mum who's torn herself up about returning to work, and for every dad wondering what's the point of her breasts growing if he's not allowed to touch them. Warm, honest and funny, this is the book for every new parent who suspects that the reference books just can't tell you everything. 'A hilariously candid companion for any dad-to-be - if he can ever get it back off his wife.' Hugo Rifkind, Times columnist 'At last, mums get to see what life's really like on the other side of the bed.' Susie Boone, Practical Parenting 'Accurate and amusing.'
