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

I bought this first-time dads book for my pregnant sister to give to her boyfriend, and it was a really nice gift. Since they’re young and this is their first baby, the book was helpful without being overwhelming. It explains things in a simple and encouraging way, which made it easy for him to understand what to expect. He liked that it felt supportive and not judgmental. Overall, it’s a great gift for any first-time dad who’s about to start this new chapter.

I gifted this to my husband when we found out we were expecting and couldn't be happier with it. The chapters are very short and easy to read, with checklists and visuals that make complex information simple to understand. My husband works 10-12 hour shifts and is still able to keep up with what week we're on. The chapters are not full of "bro" language, and the author encourages partners to build healthy relationships with mom-to-be and baby + enforce healthy boundaries and advocate on her behalf. My husband seems more engaged and will ask me questions based on what he's learned each week. Highly recommend this book to any future dad.

A very very great book! Has multiple multiple different topics! Great on explaining things

Bought for my son. The book is on the smaller side and very thick. Will take some breaking in to hold it open to read it. The print is smaller since the book is but not unreadable. I think my son will appreciate the writers humor and how much information is in the book.

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.

This was really helpful for my husband. It gives great advice esp on things a man doesnot Speak freely about. Like fear of becoming a father and fear of his life changing and losing friends etc. A must have

Good book.

Super informative and engaging. My wife is currently pregnant with our first kid and I read one chapter a week to follow along with her pregnancy. I appreciate that it’s broken up by weeks so I can stretch the reading out. It adds to that feeling I love that I’m on the journey with her.

This was a fantastic read and I recommend it to any first time dads. This book provided me with great insight into what my partner is going through and what to expect. Gives you lists to follow during certain milestones. It was very helpful. Calmed her to know certain things that are happening are normal. Will be recommending this to every first time dads I talk to.

Amazing book for first time dads, I got it for my partner. The language is easy to read, funny, quirky great book!

I ordered this book for my husband to be able to get an insight into the pregnancy and what I was going through and it was absolutely brilliant. It is very informative with plenty of facts, he loves the week by week countdown to the pregnancy and the helpful hints of what he can be doing to help me and help us prepare together. All the other father books I tried were quite patronising or seemed to be aimed at young dads or unwilling dads but this was is perfect - highly recommend it!

This book is perfect to read with your partner. It explains week by week the changes happening and it gives pieces of advice to the dad-to-be. Well written and pleasant to read. Totally recommend it as a gift for your partner.
