Find out what your partner—and your baby-to-be—wish you knew about their journey.

Between preparing your finances, juggling work, and babyproofing your home, a first-time parent’s to-do list seems endless, and it’s easy to get lost in the whole process. Some expectant dads even fear that their partner’s pregnancy and birth will put a strain on their relationship. After all, her full attention will be devoted to the baby. This means less time for herself, and for you.

But this does not have to be your story. In fact, pregnancy can strengthen a couple’s bond and bring them closer than ever. What will spell the difference is the love and support you give your partner throughout this journey.That’s where this book comes in. It’s a practical, easy-to-follow guide that is written to help any first-time dad face each phase of the pregnancy.

Inside, you will discover:

• A month-by-month guide on what to expect so you don’t have to go through each stage blindly.
• What she really feels while carrying your child–with fool-proof tips to help her deal with any physical or emotional changes.
• More than 30 things you must buy and prepare before the baby arrives–don’t skip chapter four if you want the coming months to be smooth sailing.
• A thorough account of your baby’s development in the womb (find out which month they’ll grow as big as an eggplant!)
• Personal stories of first-time fathers–get first-hand tips and discover their mistakes so you don’t have to repeat them.
• Self-care tips for dads-to-be in each chapter. Dive into fatherhood with a healthy mind, body, and spirit.
• And much more!

To say that fatherhood is a life-defining moment is an understatement, especially for first-time dads. But once you know how to effectively deal with all the stressful moments of your partner’s pregnancy, you can focus on what really matters: the arrival of your new baby.

Rock your new role as a father!

Great guide

Having got a few audibles on being an expecting father, this guide was really useful, had lots of great information to help ease through the nervous months before and even after the pregnancy. I was personally scared of the whole thing, not knowing what to expect but the well-narrated and thought-out audible was incredibly comforting and gave me great advice that I implemented along the way. Highly recommended to other expecting dads out there.

loved it

as an anxious mom, I got this for my hubby - the soon-to-be-dad. He didn't say much when I gave it to him to listen to (shocker) but once he was done, he was so happy. He says he, too, was feeling nervous the book was super helpful. I'm going to call this a win!!

A Must-Read for First-Time Dads

I recently listened to the audiobook version of "Pregnancy Guide for Men - The A–Z Handbook for First-Time Dads on What to Expect and Do in the Next Nine Months and Beyond" and I have to say, it was an incredibly informative and helpful resource for any first-time dad. The three key highlights that stood out to me were how to deal with pregnancy hormones, being attentive to your partner's needs during the first trimester, and preparing for parenthood.

I appreciated the chapter on dealing with pregnancy hormones because it provided me with a better understanding of what my partner is going through during her pregnancy. The tips and advice offered in this chapter helped me become more supportive and understanding of her changing moods and behaviors. I found myself nodding along as I listened to this chapter, realizing how much more I could do to be there for my partner during this time.

Overall, I found "Pregnancy Guide for Men" to be an excellent resource for any first-time dad. The audiobook was well-narrated and a pleasure to listen to. I highly recommend it to any dad-to-be who wants to be more involved in their partner's pregnancy and better prepared for the challenges of parenthood.

Pregnancy Guide for Men

What a great book pregnancy guide for men. The author provides his experiences of going through three pregnancies with his wife. He provides a very detailed description of each month of pregnancy, what is happening to your wife, what is happening to the baby, and what you, as a new dad, should be doing. For each month, he also provides pro-dad tips, a dad’s to-do list, and explains common myths and questions that new dads have, along with ways you can support your wife by helping her through the ache and pains of pregnancy, helping to cook and do chores, and provide massage. He also explains the need for self-care for dads, such as exercise, mindfulness, and self-time. Eventually, he discusses creating a hospital bag and being prepared for the big day. Understanding the labor process and going through the actual birth, and bringing a new baby into the world. What you, as a new dad can expect when going through that process. He even provides suggestions of smartphone applications that can help you through the labor process. It is a great audiobook that any new-to-be father will learn a lot from.

Insightful

I never fully appreciated what men experience when their partners are expecting a baby. Being relatively young myself, it was truly eye-opening when I came across this audiobook - "Pregnancy Guide for Men: The A-Z Handbook for First-Time Dads on What to Expect and Do in the Next Nine Months and Beyond". The wealth of information it provides is astonishing. The book covers a range of experiences and challenges men might face during their partners' pregnancies, including hormonal changes, stress, anxiety, and more. I believe that this guide should be read by both men and women, as it's important for everyone to understand what expectant fathers and mothers might go through. This shared understanding will help couples to support each other during this transformative journey.
