About this listen

Expecting Dad: A First-Time Father’s Guide to Confidently Navigate Pregnancy, Support Your Partner, and Get Fully Prepared for Baby’s Arrival is the go-to guide for first-time fathers who want to show up, support their partner, and prepare with confidence—even if they feel lost or overwhelmed.

Staring at a positive pregnancy test can bring a flood of emotions: joy, disbelief, fear, excitement. One question echoes for most new dads: Am I ready for this?

This book helps you say: I will be.

Whether you’re excited, nervous, or not sure where to start, Expecting Dad walks you through the next nine months with honesty, clarity, and zero fluff. It’s a real-world playbook for guys who care, but don’t always know what to do.

Inside, you’ll discover:

• A clear roadmap through each trimester: what’s happening and how to prepare

• Proven ways to support your partner emotionally and physically

• Simple bonding practices to connect with your baby before birth

• Tools to manage stress, anxiety, and self-doubt

• Straightforward labor and delivery prep with zero panic

• Real-world baby care tips for those first wild weeks

• Financial, lifestyle, and mindset shifts to feel ready and grounded

• Stories and advice from other first-time dads who’ve been there

You’ll also get free access to a downloadable week-by-week baby development guide made just for first-time dads, designed to help you stay informed and connected.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be present.

I listened to this knowing nothing about what to expect as a first-time dad, and it hit the right balance. It gives clear, realistic tips for supporting your partner and preparing for the baby without feeling scary or too detailed. I liked that it stays approachable and doesn’t assume you already know anything. Some parts felt obvious, but it’s exactly the kind of reassurance first-time dads need. Overall, it’s an easy, calm guide that actually makes you feel more prepared.

It’s encouraging without being cheesy, and it feels like having a steady friend walk you through the process step by step. If a dad-to-be wants to show up with confidence and care, this is a solid, helpful read.

I listened to this while trying to wrap my head around becoming a dad, and it honestly helped calm a lot of the noise. It speaks to the nerves and excitement without making you feel clueless. I liked how it focused on showing up for your partner, managing stress, and actually preparing instead of just winging it. The advice felt realistic and grounded, like it came from someone who’s been through it. I finished feeling more steady and ready.

I spent the first few weeks of our pregnancy feeling like a total bystander, terrified I’d be useless during the big moments. This guide changed that instantly—it’s not a dry, clinical manual, but more like getting honest advice from a friend who’s been in the trenches. The trimester breakdown helped me finally understand what my partner was actually going through, while the labor advice gave me a tactical role to play instead of just standing in the corner. I especially loved the checklists; they turned my "pre-baby panic" into a series of manageable wins. I finally feel like a capable partner rather than a confused spectator.
