Essential for expecting fathers!!

This book has invaluable insights into the rollercoaster of pregnancy (trust, I know), blending a bit of humor with practical advice. Appreciated the "ACE method" aka awareness, connection, embrace that was leveraged throughout several of the chapters to help you thru each stage of pregnancy. A heartwarming roadmap to parenthood. Highly recommended for every soon-to-be father!

I highly recommend this audibook for new fathers!

[It was clear that the author had seen it all, The book dove into everything from being a supportive partner to providing you steps and checklists to set you up for success on this journey from pregnancy to being a dad. It was relieving to have practical tools to overcome challenges and find balance between self-care and responsibilities.

Invaluable Guidance

“Forget those aged gender roles. Take care of the dishes, the laundry, carry in all the groceries, and scrub that toilet clean.”

“Support is not just physical, it is also emotional.”

I found Patrick Nguyen’s audiobook helpful. It did a great job explaining how a baby grows in the womb with a level of detail I didn’t know before. A few key points from this audiobook, although there are many, are to be open, patient, and help with chores. Taking care of yourself is a key point too. The chapter on “Finding Out Your Baby’s Health” stuck out to me with the health problems it mentioned. This audiobook is valuable for any first-time dad to help prepare for this incredible journey!

Yes!

This is a wonderful book, an engaging listen that provides assistance to any first-time dad feeling even a little out of their depth. What was particularly amazing was the tips and advice about how to build a solid relationship foundation to make this new and special life phase a positive adventure. If you are a dad-to-be, this one is definitely worth adding to your library!

Excellent resource for new dads!

I really enjoyed listening to this book and know that so many dads will benefit from everything the author shares from cover to cover! "The Ultimate Pregnancy Survival Guide for First-TIme Dads" delivers wisdom and insight in a practical, non-threatening way, which helps equip the new father with everything he needs to know and plan for. I noticed that many things were explained that the mother would know, but not necessarily the father, like hormonal changes, vaginal birth vs. C section, and how to support her before, during, and after childbirth. Bonding between the couple is strengthened and the relationship becomes closer and more fulfilling.

Once they are home from the hospital, the father will know how to better support his wife, as well as nurture and bond with their baby. The emphasis that Author Patrick puts on the parents relationship is refreshing and so needed, especially in our fast paced, and often stressful culture. My daughter just gave birth to twin girls, and I will definitely get this book for her husband! I highly recommend. 5 stars!

A very supportive guide!

Nguyen equips fathers with invaluable tools, teaching them to be more than just a silent observer, but a rock of support. The narration enhances the experience, resonating with warmth and understanding. This isn't just a guide; it's an invitation to embrace fatherhood with informed confidence, ensuring every dad steps into the role feeling empowered and prepared. An indispensable resource for every expecting father."

Finally!!

If only there was a book for 1st time dads..wait there is! This book covers everything a dad needs to know and many things a dad might be afraid to ask or even know to ask. You only get to be Parents the first time once, so a book to help enjoy the journey is a must. You’ll be glad to did.

ACE Fatherhood

Having 4 kids already and 1 early-term miscarriage, I really wished that I had this book when we were expecting our first baby. I have always been an avid supporter of embracing fatherhood and supporting my wife through these wonderful times. Being able to hear of all the changes that happen to my wife and the development of the baby as it grows in the womb and recognizing all that happens provides greater insight into how incredible pregnancy really is. Where I stumbled through the first time trying to figure it all out from doctors, and midwives and relying on my wife to make most of the decisions, this book is a must for first-time dads to ACE fatherhood and truly be a part of the pregnancy journey and support their partner and baby-to-be. Highly Recommend!!!
