Description
In this first doctor-written guide to fatherhood, Oscar Duke combines the medical knowledge of a healthcare professional with his real-life experience to provide an honest, humorous and engaging book that takes you on a journey from baby scans to birthing pools and beyond. Written chronologically, the structure takes shape from body parts – chapters include the Womb (fertility to foetus), Stomach (filling it, hiding it and stopping it vomiting), Genes (the science of screening) and Vagina (different ways to get a baby out). Each chapter has a ‘Dr’ section containing easily digestible facts and clarifying daunting medical jargon that surrounds pregnancy and childbirth, and a ‘Dad’ section that contains more emotional and anecdotal tales from Oscar’s male patients as well as his own experience.
