About this listen
From husband to first-time father–this is your inspiring journey to become a super-dad and a supportive spouse.
Are you and your partner expecting a little bundle of joy and trying to prepare yourself for the challenges that might come?
Are you freaking out about becoming a dad and worrying about how you’re going to manage all your new responsibilities?
Are you looking for a coach who can transform you into the most supportive husband so you can make pregnancy much easier for your spouse?
The minute you found out you’re going to be a dad, you were probably feeling a rush of emotions—fear, worry, anxiety…but also joy and excitement.
Being a dad is one of the most fulfilling jobs you will ever do and it is worth every minute of it.
But if you’re doing it for the first time, it can be quite overwhelming.
Your wife’s body is going through extreme changes that you don’t understand, and you’re going to have to figure out how to help her get through it safely.
On top of that, you still have to get ready for what’s to come—the arrival of your new baby. From gathering supplies to preparing your home, there’s a lot you have to do.
As a father, it is your role to be the support chain during the pregnancy, plan out the birth, and make your partner as comfortable as possible.
With the right preparation and information, you’re going to become the super-husband and super-dad your family needs.
This is your chance to prepare for your new life, be the best dad you can be, and shape the life of your little child.
In this informative guide, you will discover:
- What to expect when your wife is expecting – uncover the process of becoming a new dad
- Nine months of pregnancy and what could happen in between–discover the entire process from baby growth to Braxton Hicks contractions
- The four most common fears that first-time dads experience and how you can get over them
- 30+ list of words that will help you understand different situations for each month of pregnancy and for after the baby is born
- Detailed instructions on effective birthing techniques from Lamaze to hypnobirthing so you can be a super-husband to your wife
- All the problems, habits, and changes that may arise during pregnancy–know what to expect so you’ll know what to do
- How to prepare for the arrival of your newborn–so you can be the ready dad that your baby needs
- And much more.
You still might feel a tad overwhelmed with all this information, and that’s okay. No one said the life of a father is going to be easy.
There are many things you need to know, consider, and prepare to help your partner through pregnancy.
You don’t need to stress, worry, or freak out anymore.
You’ve got the dad coach with you by your side who can truly help you through the entire process.
If you’re ready to unlock your skills as a super-husband and super-dad, then scroll up and click the “Add to Cart” button right now.

Story
Mayim Bialik was the child star of the popular 1990s TV sitcom Blossom, but she definitely didn't follow the typical child-star trajectory. Instead, Mayim got her Ph.D. in neuroscience from UCLA, married her college sweetheart, and had two kids. Mayim then did what many new moms do - she read a lot of books, talked with other parents, and she soon started questioning a lot of the conventional wisdom she heard about the "right" way to raise a child. That's when she turned to attachment parenting.

A well done book, Loads of important information!
I am a father an experience much of what the book discusses. But I was surprised by the detail of the instruction. This book informed me of many things that I was not aware even after having children. I like the chapter titles like my favorite: Mango.. Relax. Epsom salts was a true life saver!

So Grateful To Have Listened To This
Being 22 in a serious relationship can often make you wonder…will I have kids with this person. Yeah I gaff it off all the time but… what if? So I said, heck with it i’m going to listen to an audiobook that gives me the heads up. All I can say is I would be a lesser father in the future for not listening to this audiobook now at my young age.

That’s great info!
I found this format insightful and relatable. The chapters are nicely named which helped me visualize the story along with stage of the baby. Huge help. My only negative is the author reads slow, but lucky for us I found 1.4x made him better! I highly recommend the book.

Yes!
The beauty of this audiobook is its simplicity and humility. I loved how it felt very easy to relate to, and it is written by someone who has been in the position of being a first time dad before. This audiobook present the truth, challenges and unknowns of being a first time dad in a way that is honest and sometimes pretty comedic too. Overall I enjoy the value of the tips giving within this audiobook, especially about caring for your own well being. I’m very proud of this.

For Dad's To Be
OK, I know mom's job is to do all the hard work. There are a ton of books out there for moms. However, this is a book for dads, and before you say "well, they don't do a lot", they actually do. No woman wants to be alone on her big day, whoever her partner is, they need to have some sort of plan to cover the next 9 months.
Enter, this book. I was blown away by all the cool information in this very well-produced audiobook. This book will give dad the confidence to do a good job of both looking after mom and also himself during the pregnancy term and afterwards. This is a great book, I really enjoyed it, my partner loved it too. 5 Stars.

An invaluable guide for every new dad
This is a holistic guide for first-time dads. It contains detailed information which can help a man to understand what his partner is going through during this special time in her life.
I like the way the author lays out the vocabulary for each month, making it more digestible for the nervous first-time dad. The author’s attention to detail is particularly noteworthy, for example, what to pack for the hospital - including a sleep mask, toiletries, phone, and charger to send pictures of the newly born to friends or family. Every minute detail is covered in this succinct text.

Well-Written and Narrated!
This is a must-listen for all expecting dads! The author does a great job of breaking down the pregnancy journey and explaining what happens each month and what his partner is going through. He offers tips on how to be a supportive partner, which is so important. I loved the personal anecdotes from Nigel about his experience when his wife was pregnant with his first child. The narrator is a perfect fit as well and was pleasant to listen to!
