Synopsis

A baby's on the way, and you're about to become a dad.
If you're excited, nervous, and quietly wondering what you're supposed to be doing, you're in the right place.
You're a Dad Now is a practical pregnancy guide for first-time dads who want to understand what's happening, support their partner, prepare for birth, and get ready for the first weeks home.
It walks you through pregnancy month by month, with the stuff Dad actually needs to know: what your partner may be dealing with, what appointments and decisions are coming, what you can do now, and what to get ready for next.

Inside, you'll find:

• Month-by-month guidance through pregnancy, plus birth prep and the first weeks home.
• Dad Tips and quick-reference tools for the moments when you need the short version.
• Partner Scripts for appointments, emotional moments, hard conversations, and times when you know you should say something but aren't sure what.
• Checklists and planning tools for baby gear, leave, birth plans, hospital prep, and the early newborn weeks.
• Real Talk from a real dad about the nerves, mistakes, relationship changes, and learning curve that came with becoming a father.
• Straightforward coverage of the harder stuff including mental health, identity shifts, intimacy, postpartum recovery, teamwork, and asking for help.
• Pharmacist-reviewed health information from Dr. Rhowela A. Friel, PharmD, with authoritative sources used where appropriate.

This book is built for skimming, coming back later, and finding the part you need without digging through a medical textbook.
You'll still have questions. Every first-time dad does. The point is to help you understand what matters, ask better questions, support your partner, and be a little more ready for what comes next.

Bonus downloadable resources include:

• Early Dad Game Plan
• Dad Leave Cheat Sheet
• Birth Plan Snapshot
• Hospital Bag Checklist for Dads
• Month-by-Month Dad Survival Guide

If you're buying this for a first-time dad, give him something he'll actually use. If you're the dad, start at the beginning or jump to the month you're in.
