What’s Your Pregnant Man Thinking?
New Book Explores the Physiological and Behavioral Changes in Men and Relationships
Before, During, and After the Crucial Nine Months of Pregnancy
GRANVILLE, Ohio – What’s Your Pregnant Man Thinking? looks at the physiological and
behavioral changes that occur for couples before, during, and after pregnancy. As prenatal
women struggle with surging hormones, strange cravings and massive physical changes,
fathers-to-be are also going through internal struggles. Robert Garrett Rodriguez, Ph.D.,
M.P.H., M.S., explores their thoughts and emotions in What’s Your Pregnant Man
Thinking?: A Roadmap For Expectant & New Mothers (now available through
AuthorHouse) and suggests well researched methods for bringing couples into harmony.
Unique for a book on pregnancy, What’s Your Pregnant Man Thinking? replaces the
fiction surrounding men’s behavior with fact. Rodriguez illuminates the similarities and
differences between expectant moms and dads and helps women navigate the often
“misunderstood territory” of their partner’s actions. He also reveals how mutual
understanding can propel couples through this demanding time and into a loving
relationship, that survives the parental challenges ahead.
The first half of the book details how and why men’s behavior changes, while the second
half offers ways to strengthen a relationship during pregnancy and after the birth.
Brimming with practical exercises for couples, the book presents heartening insight into
the lifelong journey of love, from being a couple to becoming a family.
Rodriguez addresses a wide range of topics, such as what men think about during these
nine months; why some men lose themselves in work, old friends, hobbies or almost
anything at a time when they are needed most; and how couples can make the pregnant
relationship the best time they’ve had in their lives.
“After studying the behavior of expectant fathers and couples for (more than) 25 years, I’
ve heard the yearnings, dreams, exploits, confessions and challenges of expectant fathers
during pregnancy,” Rodriguez writes. In a readable and entertaining fashion, he infuses
What’s Your Pregnant Man Thinking? with the knowledge he has gained, and the result is
a valuable roadmap for women on their journey through a time that is fraught with
emotion and confusion.
Rodriguez holds doctorates in psychology and health care administration and master
degrees in health risk management, public health, research, and business administration.
His nationwide lectures captivate audiences with his fascinating and passionate attitude.
He is a member of Mensa and has published articles in parenting magazines and online
journals. Rodriguez has previously published It’s a Matter of Choice, Health Care America
and Senior Mental Health Assessment (available through Alhambra Press) and An
Anxious Time for Men (Greensborough Publishing).
