I have a feeling I’m going to cry like a little girl when my baby is born. I didn’t shed a tear at all with the first two. I can’t think of any reason why: perhaps with the first I was just too shocked to do anything, and the second came so quickly I’d barely [...]

When the magic has gone
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged fatherhood, kicking, men, movement, pregnancy on March 14, 2012 | 3 Comments »
It happens to every bloke during his partner’s pregnancy, I should imagine. “Come quickly!” the mum shrieks excitedly, one hand cupping her pregnancy bump, the other flapping erratically at the wrist. “The baby is kicking!” So you go over, excited, and put your hand where you’re told to. You can’t wait to feel your baby [...]
Great Deals on ‘Goodbye, Pert Breasts’ and ‘Teething Pains’

I’ve decided that this year I need to put more effort into selling my books, hence the relentless plugging during ‘One Born Every Minute’ each Wednesday, which I’m sure has bugged the heck out of many a follower. Anyway, there are two great ways at the moment that you can go about buying my books [...]
What a baby thinks during a Caesarean section

This is what I imagine goes through an unborn baby’s mind in the moments before and during a Caesarean section. Yes, I know babies don’t know words. But if a dog can talk in Family Guy, a baby can talk in this humble blog post. Incidentally, the following should be read in the same voice [...]
What’s wrong with this photo?

EVERYTHING. Eww. By the way, for those who think I might have typed ‘graphic childbirth’ into Google, I haven’t. This is one of the photos entered for this year’s National Geographic Photo Contest. I know that as a parent blogger man I should look at this photo and say ‘Ooh, just LOOK at the miracle [...]

Many thanks to all who participated in my recent little ‘RT and follow’ competition on Twitter. ‘What competition?’ I hear you cry. Well, there was a competition. Maybe you should follow me, and perhaps next time you’ll be a little more on the ball. It was to win signed copies of my books. The winner [...]
Interview: DaddyNatal

The other day I had a piece published on Parentdish, about a man’s view of antenatal classes. In it, I quote Dean Beaumont, who stopped whinging about how tailored towards the mum antenatal classes are, got off his bum, and did something about it. He set up DaddyNatal, a dads-only antenatal class (which the Daily [...]

Don’t worry. That’s not me counting down the seconds of your life, although it is ticking away. It’s simply to let you know that nominations for the MAD Blog Awards close on Monday 25th April, so I don’t have much time to convince as many of you as possible to put goodbyepertbreasts.com forward for an [...]
If you ain’t first, you’re last

Fellow parents, take heed. You may remember last year when I asked – nay, begged – for your nomination in the MAD Blog Awards 2010. You came up trumps, and in September I found myself in Bognor Regis at a rather swanky awards ceremony. It was a great evening, apart from the fact I didn’t [...]
