Stöd

Discover how you can navigate the ups and downs of pregnancy with your partner and embrace the joy of fatherhood.

Are you anxious about taking on the responsibilities of supporting your pregnant partner and becoming a new dad?


Do you feel like you lack the necessary parenting skills and know next to nothing about what your partner is going through?


Wish you had a GPS for fatherhood to help you find your footing in the world of diapers, baby budgets, bonding with your growing family, and everything in between?


If these worries sound familiar, congratulations… you’re officially thinking like a dad!


Needless to say, pregnancy is no walk in the park, and being the rock your partner and future child need is an enormous undertaking.


Even before your child is born, your presence already matters. Studies have shown that being involved in your partner’s pregnancy doesn’t just help reduce her stress levels but can actually reduce the chances of your child having a low birth weight and positively affect both the mother and baby’s overall health.


Once the baby comes, you’ll be juggling three primary roles: protector, provider, and disciplinarian, which come with endless demands, immense worries, and crushing doubts.


While embarking on this unchartered path with all of these thoughts weighing on your mind can be overwhelming, you’re more than capable of overcoming your fears.


Start with this comprehensive, easy-to-read guide filled with practical advice and information on how to up your dad game and become a confident and fearless father.


Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll discover from this book:


  • A look into the common worries, fears, and stress triggers that come with being a first-time father… and how to conquer them

  • Discover why a father’s presence is so important to the health and wellbeing of both mother and child

  • Understanding ’Dad Brain’ and the different ways fatherhood can change both your body and your brain

  • A complete guide to creating a bulletproof birth plan and making baby preparations to give you a sense of control over your fatherhood journey and your budding family

  • A comprehensive list of essential dad skills every father needs to know

  • Everything you need to know about prenatal visits and how you can ensure your partner and your baby are safe & healthy, every step of the way

  • An in-depth weekly timeline of your baby’s development… and all the physical and emotional changes your partner experiences along with it

  • Tips and tricks on how to look after the other participant of this pregnancy journey who is often overlooked… you!

  • A step-by-step guide on what to do during D-day (delivery day), and ways to build a strong bond with your newborn



And so much more.


Although all the parenting advice you find online – apart from the additional ones being thrown at you – already seems like a lot, you can cut through the noise and figure out how to make the best choices during your and your partner’s pregnancy journey.
