What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Hilarious, candid and actually useful, this book can’t do the washing but it might just save your marriage.


How did I become the ‘expert’ at changing a nappy? Jancee Dunn wondered.

This, combined with a lack of sleep, a suddenly unfair division of household chores and her husband’s new found passion for very long bike rides, meant that Jancee found it hard to look at her well-meaning, clever, funny husband playing with his iPhone without feeling a white-hot rage.

Like many expectant parents, they’d spent weeks researching the safest car seat but little time thinking about the titanic impact the baby would have on their marriage — and the way their marriage would affect their child.

Tired of having the same fights over and over, Dunn consults the latest relationship research, solicits the counsel of renowned sex and couples therapists, canvasses friends and parents, and even consults an FBI hostage negotiator on how to effectively contain an ‘explosive situation’.

Could it be that the person who got her into this position is the ally she'd forgotten she had?

'This book can help preserve the greatest gift you will ever give your baby: a loving relationship between the baby's parents.' John Gottman, bestselling author of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work

‘Funny, honest and helpful.’ Grazia
