Becoming a dad can be a daunting time – especially when most pregnancy and parenting information is targeted towards women.

Instead it provides an array of targeted information to fully prepare men for their new roles – as both birth partners and fathers.

The Expectant Dad’s Handbook is a one-stop guide to prepare men for their path to fatherhood. It provides practical answers to all the questions on the mind of a dad-to-be – from what to expect at the stages of pregnancy to how to cope with any worries and fears about becoming a dad. It also reveals unique insights into a dad’s role during labour, showing key strategies for improving the birth.

Both practical and accessible, this guide will provide all the information and advice fathers need for the journey ahead.
