    If you have foxtel the discovery health channel has heaps of pregnancy, birth and baby shows - perhaps that could be worth checking out to get some shows for you to watch together - may peak his interest for some reading!!!

    I don't know how close you are to a library, but you can get books and perhaps videos/DVD's that might help - even if you local library doesn't have anything they should be able to order stuff from the State Library (I know most people aren't aware of this function - My Mum works at the Qld State Library otherwise I wouldn't know).

    I found that DH learnt alot more at the classes than I did (I had a BB education). I could tell him things (no chance of getting him to read antenatal books) but they only sunk in at the classes - someone else telling him so maybe a video is the way to go.
