About this listen
Prepare yourself for the sudden twists and turns of fatherhood with this personal account of a father-of-three who tells it like it is.
The First-Time Father is filled with honest guidance from a father who’s been there (three times!), made every mistake possible, and survived to tell the story.
Now you can step into fatherhood with as little stress as possible.
In The First-Time Father, you will discover:
- Carefully structured steps to navigate you during stages of pregnancy, labor and delivery, and coming home with your newborn
- Practical tools you need to prepare for fatherhood and guide you through the pregnancy journey and post-delivery
- Clear directions for raising a newborn and cultivating a healthy father-child relationship as your baby grows - with age-appropriate games and discipline techniques
- A week-by-week outline of pregnancy phases so that you know what to do every step of the way
- The dos and crucial don’ts of pregnancy - what to eat, how to behave, and when to go to the doctor
- No-nonsense advice about the baby items you actually need, diaper changing mastery, and night-time routines
- The essential instructions to prepare yourself mentally, physically, and emotionally for fatherhood
- And much more.
It’s completely natural for new dads to have a ton of questions when it comes to pregnancy...and this interactive handbook takes the time to answer the questions no one else would.
No more confusion, stress, or worries.
Know exactly what your partner needs from you during and after the pregnancy, how to be part of the whole process, and be prepared for the unexpected.
Discover how you can be a great dad and keep your sanity all at the same time.

Of all the worldly experiences, nothing beats being a dad! But to enjoy this momentous new role to the max, you’re going to need some indispensable advice…from a man! For moms, there are a ton of books preparing them for every change and every stage. Let’s face it, the only set of instructions men get is the one in the pregnancy test. To make the process less daunting, you need to know exactly what new responsibilities you will have and what challenges lay ahead of you. This is why a dad of three has put together the man’s manual on pregnancy, babies, and toddlers.
