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.

This audiobook is an incredibly reassuring listen for any first-time dad. It speaks directly to the mix of excitement and uncertainty that comes with your first child. It's great how it breaks everything down in a clear, calm, and practical way. Also, I appreciated how it focuses not just on logistics, but on how to truly support your partner, manage your own stress, and start bonding with your baby before they arrive. The guidance feels realistic, encouraging, and grounded in real experience. Highly recommend for first-time fathers who want to show up with confidence, support their partner well, and feel genuinely ready for baby’s arrival.

Great listen for first time dads!

Finding out you’re going to be a dad can feel exciting and overwhelming at the same time, and listening to this gave me a really clear picture of what that experience is actually like. Everything is explained in a grounded, practical way that doesn’t assume prior knowledge. I really appreciated how much emphasis is placed on emotional support and being present for your partner, not just logistics and baby gear. It made pregnancy and early fatherhood feel less intimidating and more manageable. A great recommendation for any first-time dad who wants to show up well and feel prepared instead of lost.

Becoming a dad again reminded me that no matter how many children you have, every pregnancy is unique and deserves attention, care, and presence. This audiobook highlighted the importance of being emotionally available, actively supporting my partner, and preparing for the baby in practical ways. It made me reflect on how easy it is to get caught up in routines with older kids, and how intentional effort strengthens both my role as a father and as a husband. By the end, I felt motivated to show up fully, embrace the challenges, and cherish these moments as a family
