We're Pregnant! The First Time Dad's Pregnancy Handbook

I got this book to help my husband kind of join me in my pregnancy journey and I’m so glad I did. It’s a fun, easy read that takes Daddy week by week through your pregnancy symptoms, what your body is going through, and babies growth. I love that it is scattered with hints for how dad can engage with you in the most helpful ways. My husband finds it fun to talk to me about what he’s just read, which is great for us us bonding over parenthood. I highly recommend this sweet little book.

This is a great read for a first time dad who knows nothing about parenthood. It makes understanding the milestones and objectives really easy to understand, uses a sense of humor throughout the chapters, and is very relatable to everyday life and what you’re going through. Great read and great book. Highly recommend.

This book is amazing. We got it as a gift a few years ago and now I get it for all of my friends who are having babies

Baught three copies of this book. Each one was for a gift for first time dads. They all have said it has been very helpful to understand what there wives are going through, how to help them and useful ideas.

A great book for an expecting Dad/partner.

Adrian Kulp’s book manages to be both informative and entertaining. It’s well-organized to help fathers who are in the heart of the process, figure out their role during pregnancy and in the first months after birth. At the same time, it’s clever, funny and artistically beautiful.My kids are 4 and 5 years old, and we don’t plan to have any more (well, I don’t plan to, which is probably not the most important factor). So in one sense, I’m not necessarily the target audience here. But I enjoyed it anyway because it brought back memories I had forgotten. I can also attest to the accuracy of some of the advice that I wish I had heeded. There are numerous examples, but one that stands out is the necessary conversation about who you want in the delivery room – the friends and family dilemma that we didn’t address and should have.I love the various metaphors the author uses, including numerous analogies to sporting events; e.g. comparing the second trimester to running out the clock in a football game.I also enjoyed the “brownie points” section in many of the chapters, which detail some things I just didn’t know about during my wife’s pregnancies and after; a push gift and bra shopping are a few examples.I’m sure there have been books written from the Dad’s perspective. I don’t think there have been any books that put it all together this well. It’s a very busy and frankly overwhelming time, and you’re really flying blind a bit especially with your first child. A guide that’s easy to use and actually enjoyable, is something all new dads should have. And for those who have closed shop, if you’re looking to feel some nostalgia and be entertained at the same time, this book is a great choice as well.

We have read this book each week at the beginning of the new week and loved reading this book together. Author does a great job of giving the babies and mom’s stats in a dad friendly way!

I bought this book for my boyfriend when I was pregnant with our son. I tried to get him to read son many books to prepare for our son and he wouldn’t read any of them until I came across this book. What’s great about this book is that it is super simple and to the point. It even has a lot of pictures! The chapters aren’t long either. My boyfriend hates reading but read this one with ease and no complaints! It’s really beneficial for your spouse because it explains what we are going through in each stage of our pregnancy. He read it as I was about to be going through each of those stages so he was very prepared how to support me. It helps men understand what we go through a little better. I think all dads to be should read this!
