About this audiobook

You just found out you're going to be a dad, and nearly every piece of advice so far boils down to “sleep while you can.” Meanwhile she's exhausted, the registry keeps growing, the HR portal wants decisions you don't understand, and you have no idea what you're supposed to do in the delivery room. Soon-to-Be Dad Playbook is the practical, trimester-by-trimester guide for the partner who isn't pregnant but wants a real job. Unlike pregnancy books written for the mother, joke books for dads-to-be, or newborn guides that start once the baby is home, it covers exactly the stretch most fathers feel lost in: the nine months of pregnancy, the last month of preparation, and labor and delivery itself. It stops at the birth, so every page is about getting both of you ready for that day. Inside, you'll learn: Written in plain language with checklists, scripts, and the composite stories of three couples, this book turns the feeling of being useless into a plan. By the time labor starts, you'll know your job and be ready to do it.
