Expecting And New Dads: Preparing for Fatherhood, #1

By Peter Piper

Preparing for fatherhood mentally and emotionally can be pretty tough for new and expecting fathers.  You know your life has just changed and will be changing for the foreseeable future.  

 

This can be a scary time, so author Peter Piper shares with you what to expect both during pregnancy and child-birth, what'll happen with the mother, what to expect for yourself, and then how to deal with it when your new baby arrives.

 

Being a daddy is a wonderful, life-long adventure, and you will make mistakes - so the key is to educate yourself and make as few as possible.  Whether this is a book for a new dad you know, or one of the new dad gifts on your list, it will help make the journey much smoother, less stressful and more enjoyable.
