A Labor With Love

Review:By Leon Scott Baxter The author of this book wrote it with expecting dads in mind. But it's not like other Dad-to-Be books I've seen. It focuses on keeping romance alive and love fresh during pregnancy. The author looks at all the changes pregnant women go through (hormonal, physical, psyiological, chemical) and helps Dad keep up with her. It's based on hundreds of responses to surveys and interviews with moms and professionals. What's really neat is that Baxter writes it in a style that men can easily digest and it comes with a wek by week romance suggestion based on the changes each trimester. If you want to have a close and loving relationship during pregnancy, and one that will carry over even after Baby arrives, this is your book. You can get it on his site: CouplesCommittedToLove.com.

Review:

I appreciated the author's honesty and think this book would be helpful for any new father.  I liked how it started with pregnancy and takes the reader through the transition period.  I admired the author's compassion for all that his wife was going through.  There are so many books out there for moms so it is neat to have a new option for dads.
