Being a great first-time dad doesn’t mean being perfect. It means having the tools you need to be a supportive partner during and after pregnancy - which is exactly what We’re Pregnant! The First-Time Dad’s Pregnancy Handbook is all about.

From heartburn and headaches to birth and breastfeeding, We’re Pregnant! features practical, action-oriented pregnancy advice from the author of the Dad or Alive blog, Adrian Kulp, a (once clueless) dad who’s been there and done that - three times, in fact!

We’re Pregnant! addresses and alleviates the stress first-time dads face through candid pregnancy guidance, including:

Week-specific pregnancy milestones so you’re not left wondering what’s happening, what’s going to happen, or what you should be doing during the pregnancy
Practical suggestions for supporting your partner’s changing needs during pregnancy and thereafter
Action-oriented goals that will support baby’s development, mom’s pregnancy experience, and the wellbeing of your relationship
Up-to-date information on “The Fourth Trimester” so you’re as prepared for the first months of baby’s life as you were during pregnancy

We’re Pregnant! delivers real-world pregnancy advice with a humorous tone that will get first-time dads ready, willing, and able to carry their portion of the pregnancy weight….pickles and ice cream not included.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, a PDF of reference material not included in the narration will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great book! Not sexist or offensive.

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

I really love this book. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for a while, so of course I have 10+ books and simply relay the information to him. But I thought it would be nice to get a book for him that was written by a dad, for new dads. My husband didn't have siblings or little cousins around him growing up, so he's absolutely clueless when it comes to everything pregnancy and baby.

BEST PART: By far, what my husband and I love most about this book is that it doesn't have a sexist overtone. It's not obnoxiously stereotypical like other "dad-to-be" books in that it doesn't assume that every man is a slack-jaw, knuckle-dragging idiot. It's smart and witty. The tone is generally, "Look, here's what's going on and why. It's going to be scary and fun and you'll do great. Just step up, dude." Highly recommended!

Better, but I expected more

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2019

First of all, this is the wife giving the review on the husband's Amazon account. I chose this book for my husband in preparation for our first child because the reviews were good. He did seem to enjoy the book and it did keep him quite involved in the first trimester. The issues with the book started coming up in the second trimester. I should've known better, but I assumed that much of the same information that were in books geared towards me was also included in this book, such as how to prepare for prenatal appointments, preparing for birth by understanding how childbirth goes and the possible complications, how to prepare for baby (what to buy, what to do), choosing birth classes, etc. But it seems that none of this information is included in the book. In fact, it seems that this book is set up to keep dad as a person on the sidelines. I don't know how other couples feel, but we want my husband to be involved in this pregnancy and the raising of our child. We want him to be as prepared as me for when the baby comes and to be an educated birth partner. He and I have become quite frustrated by the fact that the books with the important information are geared towards mom. We have reverted to him reading my books instead and just dealing with the bias. This book really just replaces the emails you get from baby apps saying how your child is developing.

This seems like a really informative and easy to follow book from the chapters that were read. Unfortunately we lost the baby early, so will hold on to it and hopefully get to experience fully in the future.

Great book new dads!

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2018

Got this for my husband after finding out I was pregnant. He really likes the author’s style and that it breaks up pregnancy into manageable chunks. It goes week by week and gives him a little more insight as to how I’m feeling and what’s going on with baby. His favorite part is that it gives him helpful tasks to do week by week.

My husband is reading this and enjoying it. He said the beginning was a little preachy and he didn’t care for that (because he is super involved in everything- doesn’t need a book telling him how to be involved). But now that he’s on to the weeks he likes how informative it is. He’s read other books that were fun, but this breaks down more of what I’m going through, which he loves.

Reads like borderline plagiarism of “what to expect when you’re expecting”

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2020

Borderline plagiarism of “what to expect when you’re expecting” with mediocre dad humor and some different fruits. Stick with the bestseller and leave this off your list.

Great read for dads to be

Reviewed in the United States on July 30, 2018

Verified Purchase

I'm writing this at week 22, and I feel phenomenally empowered with knowledge to help me continue preparing to be a first time father. This is an insightful and easy to read "book", I am grateful to have read it and encourage you to do the same. I believe the information is accurate and sincere but at times it can be difficult accepting a source of information if it's also a source of solicitation. Not sure if Adrian's publisher had a choice, bit I would of gladly paid a few more dollars for the content with out the subtle (or not so subtle) advertisements throughout. All in all, still a terrific book for first time dad's.

Very culturally biased towards the middle class American experience with no info on the birth itself

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 20, 2020

Verified Purchase

Clearly written only for a middle class white American audience. We all have our cultural biases and that’s fine – but it doesn’t seem that this author even tried to make this book more universal. Examples – there’s clearly an assumption that everyone has a car; and that your partner will give birth in a private hospital. Do some research on pregnancy experiences in other countries. How about some mention of alternative birthing approaches you might want to discuss with partner? Whether she prefers epidural or not? What can the partner to do to help increase the chances of a trauma-free birth experience?

Speaking of which - there is absolutely no mention of the birth itself??? You have a chapter discussing week 40+ and then it skips straight to the postnatal phase!

The good parts: it provided useful info on what challenge’s the woman can expect various stages and how the man can help.

Ok, not great...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 4, 2020

Verified Purchase

I bought this book for my husband as we are expecting baby #1. Having read through other books aimed at first time Dads, this seemed to get the most positive reviews. It's ok, not great. It reduces mens role down to "Daddy day care" instead of being an active co-parent and supportive partner. A lot of the advice is reductive and comes down to "You won't be able to go out with the boys so much, buy your wife something nice on Amazon to keep her happy now and again". The actual information week by week about how baby grows and develops my husband found quite useful, but the rest is filler and very much plays into the troupe of grumpy pregnant wife and how to keep her happy but still have beers with the lads on Friday nights.

Easy to read but lacks depth, with a subtle hint of misogyny

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 24, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is clearly written for the US market, full of US terms that don't translate well outside the states. It also has a lean towards the traditional family dynamic where the woman would be expected to care for the home alone. I found it incredible how many times the book informed me on "ways I can help my wife around the house". Its not my wife's responsibility to maintain the house, purely because she was born with the apparent misfortune of being a woman.

Setting the above mentioned frustrations aside, the book is ultimately lacking in any real advice. It provides easy to read and digest info that helps you follow the babys growth week by week. However, if this is the only literature you absorb during the pregancy, you will find yourself largely unprepared at each key milestone.

In short, this is a book for Americans who enjoy a "traditional" family dynamic and want to say they have read a baby book without actually taking a leading role in the pregancy.

As a side note, If you are from the UK, I suggest buying a book written closer to home. I recommend Rob Kemp's "The Expectant Dad's Survival Guide".

Other reviews are right: Some "old fashioned" ideas here.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

Bought this for myself as an expectant Dad.

Good bits:
- Nice breakdown week by week
- The little tables which run down the changes of Mum and Baby are informative

Not-so-good:
- Some of the ideas in here feel a bit outdated, perhaps misogynistic or sexist in nature.
- VERY US-centric. Doesn't translate well into the experience of those in the UK or elsewhere.

It's just very okay. There are certainly some good elements of this book, but the outdated ideas and focus on fathers in a secondary role is somewhat offputting.

A lot of information just to fill the pages.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 21, 2022

Verified Purchase

This book is pretty much useless.
All the information is available online and it makes more sense as you would look for what you need at the moment. e.g. pregnancy milestones, what to do arround the house etc. But the information you actually need is not here: how to hold a baby, how to burp them, what is common for people to do with the baby but is better no to, how to support the mom during labor and so on.
waste of money.
