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.

This audiobook is amazingly detailed. I’ve gone through pregnancies, and I had no clue about many of the observations and advice shared in this book. It was wonderful to hear from a man’s perspective; it made me realize what my partner might have been experiencing during my pregnancies and the birth of my children.

This is a useful guide to new fathers who, naturally, may be apprehensive and uncertain about the processes of pregnancy and birth. Beautiful narration presented with passion complements this informative text that new dads and indeed new moms can enjoy and learn from as they prepare for their new baby.

An inspirational, informative text for new dads

I cannot help but focus on the audiobook despite multitasking as the narration (both the narrator and the script is very captivating). Simply engaging. Very enjoyable to listen to. I am a neonatal nurse, and I bought this book so I know how to support dads in caring for their babies and partner…. I can only say it is worth the buy!… I highly recommend this to all dads out there, especially first-time dads!

I give it 7 stars!
