Story
Motherhood is demanding (to say the least), but when all of your mental and physical energy is directed towards a tiny human, you are neglecting yourself. And when you are neglected, you don’t have the energy or strength to take care of your completely dependent newborn. But you’re probably thinking how can I possibly put my needs above those of my baby? The truth of the matter is, your baby needs you to be at your best, and this is achieved through self-care. Self-care has many misconceptions, and due to the prefix, it’s all too often associated with selfishness.

Publisher's Summary
If you want to effectively support your partner during pregnancy and strengthen your relationship and mental health, keep reading...
If you're going to be a dad, congratulations, that's awesome!
That said, if you worry about this life-changing experience negatively affecting your mental health, you'd be right to. Recent statistics show that up to 50 percent of all new dads experience depression if their partner gets postnatal depression.
Are you concerned your little blessing might drive a baby-shaped wedge between you? Then your spidey senses are on the money because studies show that dads are three times more likely to die after a relationship breakdown than women.
Are you anxious that the general stress of family life might damage your mental health? This is a justified concern, as suicide is the single biggest killer of men under 45 in the UK. If any of these concerns resonate with you, don't worry. You're in safe, albeit slightly weathered, hands. James Macdonald is a happy and mostly calm dad of three.
In First Time Dad you’ll learn:
- Week-to-week explanations of what’s happening for your baby and inside your partner
- How to be a big help, not a major hindrance, during the delivery
- How to help your partner get physically fit and ready for birth
- What to expect at your 12- and 20-week scans
- How to keep her and your sense of humor during those high-pressure moments
- How to mentally prepare for the birth if you're squeamish
- What to do when you need reassurance but don't want to burden her
- Advice on having sex and maintaining intimacy throughout pregnancy
- How to keep calm when all hell is breaking loose
- What a birth plan is and how to prepare one
- What nesting is and how to use it to your advantage
- What you can do to develop, strengthen, and prepare your mental health for the big day and beyond it
- What you need to do and say to ensure everyone’s mental health remains intact
- Road-tested survival tips for dads to ensure you don't continue to put your foot in it
If you're ready to start the journey from knee-trembling novice to a contender for dad of the year (and maybe prove your mother-in-law massively wrong), then download this audiobook.
