One expectant father’s nine-month introduction to parenthood

Framed around Gordon Churchwell’s wife’s pregnancy, this fatherhood memoir traces his shift from uncertainty to participation as a birth partner and coparent. Churchwell uses his own experience—including pregnancy-like symptoms—to examine research on expectant fathers, from documented physical responses to hormonal changes associated with empathy and preparation for parenthood. The book places a man’s adjustment alongside the practical buildup to a baby’s arrival, treating pregnancy as a transition that affects both members of a couple.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Expectant fathers interested in the transition to parenthood
  • Couples exploring the shared experience of pregnancy
  • Readers interested in research on men’s responses to pregnancy

Book overview

Gordon Churchwell's wife is pregnant. Immediately, she swings into action, buying baby clothes, toys, and supplies, and consulting a never-ending stack of pregnancy books. Gordon? He's having an out-of-body experience.

Pregnant Man is the hilarious and touching story of Gordon's nine-month evolution from clothes husband to birth partner and coparent. Along the way, this regular guy stumbles across some amazing discoveries that are important to both sexes. Starting with hi sown morning sicknesses, Gordon finds out the researchers have long documented that many men have pregnancy symptoms. The latest scientific findings also reveal a male hormonal response that helps them empathize with their partners and prepare for fatherhood.
