This book is a most exciting and unusual study of cultural history. The idea of the pregnant man, redolent of bawdy jokes and sexual fantasy, has inspired European literature and folklore since ancient times. Traces of the theme, both comical and disturbing, are found not only in the wealth of tales from Italy, France, Germany, Russia, Finland and other European Countries, but also in the Hebrew and Islamic traditions.

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.

Thomas Beatie electrified the world in April 2008 with his announcement that he was seven months pregnant and due to give birth in July. The news made headlines across the globe, but it’s only one chapter in a fascinating saga. Labor of Love reveals Beatie’s unique life experiences: his less-than-idyllic childhood in Hawaii, his feelings of being a young man trapped in the body of a woman, his fight to conceive a child, and the obstacles surrounding the delivery. This astonishing narrative permits an intimate look at a family that refuses to let other people’s definitions of family deter them from creating one on their own terms. Labor of Love is much more than the story of a unique pregnancy and birth — it’s a beautiful and controversial love story about going against the tide, a powerful statement about the evolution of family and identity in the new millennium.

A student bound for a prestigious writing program is suddenly and inexplicably incapable of reading a single word. A staid society matron, looking to overcome her anxiety about flying, reveals a daredevil past. A young woman trying to come to terms with her sister's suicide is hampered by a poltergeist's mischievous interventions. A man who sets out to end an addiction to nicotine instead develops a false pregnancy. Can hypnotherapy heal a troubled mind? Why is it so compelling and controversial? In The Pregnant Man: And Other Cases from a Hypnotherapist's Couch, Dr. Deirdre Barrett describes how she has used the fascinating discipline known as hypnotherapy to treat these patients and many others. Tracing the voyage of seven patients through her practice, she demonstrates how hypnosis can accelerate and magnify the benefits of psychotherapy--and occasionally its dangers. Several of Dr. Barrett's patients evince disquieting symptoms--hallucinations, multiple personalities, and more--that hypnotic explorations reveal as variations on the universal themes of love, bereavement, envy, and shame. Other patients bring to her couch more mundane complaints--a desire to quit smoking, fear of flying--and in the course of their therapy uncover surprising dramas behind them. The Pregnant Man follows Dr. Barrett's personal evolution as a hypnotherapist, even as it illuminates the art and science of a branch of psychotherapy all too often misunderstood by the general public. She explains how hypnotherapy can offer a deeper window into the workings of the mind and offers expert guidance on deciding whether hypnotherapy is right for you. "From the Trade Paperback edition.

The Pregnant Guy is a humorous look at pregnancy from a male perspective. It aims to provide a road-map to childbirth for the half of the population that has trouble asking for directions. Every expectant dad departs on a nine-month mystery tour to somewhere he has never been, probably never planned to go, and from where he cannot ever return: Parenthood. And men are never ready. Most of us are still too happy behaving like a child to consider actually having a baby. But as long as it involves sex, we're willing to give anything a try. Sure, it's the woman that gets pregnant, but it's the guy who has to live with a person whose hormones are permanently set one notch below rage and who has more mood swings than the Glenn Miller band. Now at least there's some help. A book about pregnancy and childbirth written for the guys, by a guy.

Gordon Churchwell his a problem he's never faced before—his wife, Julie, is pregnant. "What is happening to me? It's 6:30 A.M. My Wife is peeing on what looks like a scale model of the spaceship from 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's an early pregnancy test called something like First Alert, or Early Response, some name that sounds like a smoke detector or a piece of EMS equipment." From this unavoidable physiological fact follows the greatest psychological crisis of his life, a story that eventually illuminates the journey of all men and women as they make the passage to becoming parents. What really goes through a "pregnant" man's mind? Combining his personal story with interviews with doctors, midwives, evolutionary scientists, and other fathers-to-be, Gordon Churchwell delivers the gritty, intimate details, as well as important new information, in an irreverent style that mixes poignancy, wit, and laugh-out-loud humor. He covers all the issues without flinching. On relationships: "There are moments when you are not just individuals trying to solve a personal problem, but representatives of your gender, acting out some social drama. Over Julie's shoulder I see a chorus of angry women. . . ." On sex: "While the party line is that Julie remains 'my beautiful partner to whom I am devoted,' to Mr. Weenie, she is beginning to look like Danny DeVito in Batman Returns. . . ." On why men find change difficult: "Why do I feel like a bystander in the most important 280 days of my life? Where are the stories that make a man feel like he's in it, and not out of it? The answer is simple. When it comes to the stories of fatherhood, our culture has discarded them." When he starts having morning sickness, Churchwell turns science detective and makes some startling discoveries: He finds out that male pregnancy symptoms are extremely common and uncovers evidence of a physiological paternal response-men have hormonal changes, too, which help prepare them emotionally for fatherhood. Does nature make fathers out of men? Working with a leading evolutionary psychologist, Churchwell argues for a revolutionary new perspective on a man's role in reproduction. Parental investment on both sides is not automatic. Pregnancy behavior is part of a continual process of negotiation about parental commitment. A man's response to pregnancy, including sympathetic symptoms, may signal his plans about investing in the child. His behavior can directly affect the mother's own response, including the quality of her maternal care. By showing that men have a physiological transformation of their own that integrates them into the biology of the family, Churchwell restores men to the story of reproduction. Expecting is an important contribution to the new literature of fatherhood that will amuse and inspire men and women as they transform themselves into parents. This personal story ends where it began, with him and his wife, Julie, struggling-this time as a team-through a harrowing thirty-five-hour birth ordeal, and welcoming their daughter, Olivia, into the world.

ABSTRACT: This project addresses narratives by and about female-to-male transsexual Thomas Beatie, who made headlines in 2008 as the first legally-recognized pregnant man. Given the pivotal sociopolitical moment in this country, Beatie's pregnancy is particularly important as new laws that seek to define and narrow marriage and family status are appearing with alarming frequency. Specifically, Thomas Beatie and his pregnancy apparently broaden the existing space of kinship by pioneering a new pathway to family formation for queer people, thus making him a radical figure; however, it appears that the opposite may also be true. Thus, I take up this contradiction between the radical and the non-radical in order to show the way in which Beatie's own narrative about his identity and pregnancy actually resists broadening the meaning of family and adheres to tradition and heteronormativity. As Judith Butler reminds us, a situation's possibility is both formed and limited by the language used to describe it (13), and thus I contend that the radical nature of his act is compromised by Beatie's particular use of language. This thesis, then, ultimately seeks to analyze the way in which a seemingly radical intervention in the patriarchal construction of the nuclear family negates its own potential.

This book traces the image of the pregnant male as it evolves in classical Greek literature. Originating as a representation of paternity and, by extension, "authorship" of creative works, the image later comes to function also as a means to explore the boundary between the sexes.
