Publisher's summary

Congrats: You’re going to be a dad!

Now what?  

Dude, relax; you’re going to be fine. But it wouldn’t hurt to get a few pointers - a road map of what lies ahead. That’s what this audiobook is for.  

From Dude to Dad gives you the need-to-know essentials on pregnancy, birthing, and parenthood, and how it’s okay to be scared out of your mind. You’ll learn what the expecting mom is going through during each trimester, how you can be the best partner and dad-to-be, and how to immediately start bonding with the baby.  

Be prepared for the arrival that will ultimately change your life in the best way possible.

Overall pretty helpful

I’m still in that terrified but starting to feel excited stage this book helped me to feel that I wasn’t alone or that my feelings weren’t that different from anyone else. At 35 and the last dad to be I feel like this book was more for someone mid twenties or at least the first guy in your group to be a dad. Still overall helpful and informative I would recommend this to others...

informative without being a text book

very great book for a long time dudes trying to settle down. I really appreciate the fact that it focuses on what we as the partner can do. the wrap up at the end is a true gem that I will be coming back to during the entire pregnancy.

Great for guys that have no idea of what is pregnancy

Honestly I already knew about 80% of everything that was being taught in this book, but seeing how there are other people out there that have this type of view on family and fatherhood and how it affects their life made me more confident that everything would be okay. If you’re out here looking for any type on information possible on how to be a dad and take care of your pregnant girl, this book is perfect for you and it’ll teach you loads!!

The most pointless way I've ever spent money. This book offers no actual information. Don't waste your money or time.
