Great Summary of what to expect

Wonder book for first time to be dads. Love the chronological order of the book.Aallows you to follow your wife’s pregnancy as it goes. Would aggressively recommend any first time Dad.

Excellent Primer all things Father

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.

Amazing overview for first time dad.

Clear, concise, and easy to follow in audiobook form. This was the first book I listened to upon learning I am going to be a dad!

Great read

Super insightful, play-by-play, that I will definitely be revisiting as the months of our pregnancy roll along

Down to the point

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.

A good start.

The Expectant Father is a great book for any expecting father to get their start. I definitely feel more prepared for this pregnancy than before.

Very helpful

I really enjoyed the dad take on pregnancy and it gave me insight on how to support my pregnant wife. Would definitely recommend

Thank you to the author!

Thank you to the author! This book cover everything I was curious about, things I didn't know I needed to know, and affirmed may of the feelings I'm having as a soon to be dad. Thank you!

ok overall

some good info but also alot of meandering and going on too long about topics

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

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.
