The Expectant Father is the best-selling pregnancy guide for men, trusted by millions of dads-to-be and their partners.

This reassuring month-by-month overview gives you the facts and advice you need to understand your baby’s development, support your partner, and prepare for the joys and challenges of fatherhood. It concludes with two special sections: one on labor and delivery, and the other covering the first few months after your baby’s arrival.

The fifth edition of this New York Times best seller is updated with the latest information about fertility, prenatal care, and delivery; work-life balance (including the lessons learned from COVID-19); financial planning; and much more. It incorporates the expertise of leading OB-GYNs and researchers and the real-life experiences of hundreds of dads and moms.

The Expectant Father is a friendly, listenable, and inclusive companion for all dads-to-be. (Moms will love it, too!)

I definitely enjoyed this book. It was a great overview of what a future father can do to be prepared or at least have a jumping of point for the issues that could and will arise from having a child. Reading this book was like getting great advise from a trusted friend. It doesn’t drill down too deep on any one issue but does provide enough info so that you can go ahead and do your own research. Also I really appreciated all the studies that were sited as evidence that what was being suggested is based on science. I found myself writing the date of when my baby was going to be at the stage in the book, month one, month two, etc.

Excellent Primer all things Father

As a first time father, this gave me a lot of great information. The book is simple to understand and gives you a chance to see both sides of pregnancy from the parents. Mainly focusing on the dad but informing you on what’s happing to your wife so you don’t have to constantly bother her! Haha.

Down to the point

ok overall

This book is worth the read, but some of it should be taken with a grain of salt. I found myself rolling my eyes at some of the progressive, out of touch opinions peppered about. Still, there is plenty of knowledge to be gained and learned.

Was ok, but i could see through some of the opinions.
