Pregnancy won't be the same after reading What's Your Pregnant Man Thinking?. It presents the similarities and differences between expectant Moms and Dads. It explains that knowing these differences can produce a lasting relationship..that will endure for 50 years. This book describes the expectations, changing, challenging and sometimes baffling behaviors, of first time expectant fathers, a foreign and often misunderstood territory filled with myth and misunderstanding. What do men think about during the nine months of pregnancy? What are their concerns and worries? Are they worried about "real" things related to the birth of the baby? Why do some men stray from their relationship and have affairs during this time? Why do some men lose themselves in work, to old friends, hobbies, habits, and almost anything to avoid pregnancy which is when their partner needs them most. How can you detect and avoid your spouse or partner's destructive behavior? Are men more prone to violence with their partners during pregnancy? What changes in behavior are normal for fathers during pregnancy? How frequently do pregnancies result in separation or divorce? Are there early warning signs that a couple's relationship may be in trouble? How can you test and know the strength of your personal relationship? How can you make the pregnant relationship the best you've every enjoyed in your life? What's Your Pregnant Man Thinking? provides readers with a roadmap to understanding the windfalls and pitfalls of their new adventure of having a family. It will help every expectant couple understand their needs during pregnancy and give them a commanding lead toward achieving their dreams as parents. As every pregnancy begins with hope, Dr. Rodriguez fulfills this hope by opening new insights, encouraging tolerance, and providing an understanding of the signs and steps to follow for a blissful tomorrow. Studying the behavior of expectant fathers and couples for over 25 years, the author presents the yearnings, dreams, exploits, confessions, and challenges of expectant fathers during pregnancy. As he clearly writes, they feel deep emotions about the pregnancy. Couples feel deep emotions toward one another. They feel passion for their lives and futures. Each father and couple expressed the wish that they had known more about themselves, their expectations, and how to meet their partner's needs. What's Your Pregnant Man Thinking? grants their request.

Reeling from the sudden, shattering implosion of her twenty-eight-year marriage, single mother and health care professional Elizabeth Mahoney turns to online dating sites in hopes of finding a way to heal and move ahead with her life. Instead, she discovers that the site is rife with opportunists who prey on emotionally vulnerable women. After a dizzying series of experiences with a scammer who exploits her trust and intimate confidences to rob her, sexters, married men looking for something on the side and other questionable Lotharios, Elizabeth becomes romantically involved with a man looking for his dream woman in cyberspace. With sardonic wit, keen psychological analysis and a wisdom born of bitter experience, Scandal, Heartbreak, and Deceit reveals how easily a woman can fall prey to a victimizer if trauma has rendered her susceptible, and provides irrefutable evidence that dating sites and apps are nothing but tricks, lies and scams. In a post #MeToo era, the author examines the dangerous misogynistic attitudes of powerful men, Internet subcultures and other online predators, and discusses the risks of online dating for women. Beyond the author’s own misadventures on Match.com, Scandal, Heartbreak and Deceit brings to light the many faces of intimacy, and shares personal stories of Canadian, U.S. and U.K. women in a modern hook-up culture. Varied perspectives on dating, casual encounters, friends with benefits, serial monogamy and polyamory, including the millennial experience of dating and cohabiting, are explored.

A candid, feminist, and personal deep dive into the science and culture of pregnancy and motherhood Like most first-time mothers, Angela Garbes was filled with questions when she became pregnant. What exactly is a placenta and how does it function? How does a body go into labor? Why is breast best? Is wine totally off-limits? But as she soon discovered, it’s not easy to find satisfying answers. Your obstetrician will cautiously quote statistics; online sources will scare you with conflicting and often inaccurate data; and even the most trusted books will offer information with a heavy dose of judgment. To educate herself, the food and culture writer embarked on an intensive journey of exploration, diving into the scientific mysteries and cultural attitudes that surround motherhood to find answers to questions that had only previously been given in the form of advice about what women ought to do—rather than allowing them the freedom to choose the right path for themselves. In Like a Mother, Garbes offers a rigorously researched and compelling look at the physiology, biology, and psychology of pregnancy and motherhood, informed by in-depth reportage and personal experience. With the curiosity of a journalist, the perspective of a feminist, and the intimacy and urgency of a mother, she explores the emerging science behind the pressing questions women have about everything from miscarriage to complicated labors to postpartum changes. The result is a visceral, full-frontal look at what’s really happening during those nine life-altering months, and why women deserve access to better care, support, and information. Infused with humor and born out of awe, appreciation, and understanding of the female body and its strength, Like a Mother debunks common myths and dated assumptions, offering guidance and camaraderie to women navigating one of the biggest and most profound changes in their lives.
