Ever since the First Edition of The Expectant Father was published in 1995, and now the Second Edition has been released, this book has become the indisputable leader in its field with millions of copies sold. Offering many practical hints of advice about what childbirth classes don’t tell you, financial issues, and all the other things that come up. It affirms and empowers expectant fathers by recognizing what the new dad is going through during pregnancy and after the birth of the baby.
As I said in my recent review of The Expectant Father, I highly recommend it for all dads-to-be, as I’ve never seen a book describe for a man what a woman goes through physically and emotionally during pregnancy like this book does. Or what the baby is going through throughout each month of the pregnancy.
I wish I had had this book when I was pregnant, so I could give it to my husband to read in order for him to feel more involved in the pregnancy itself, and to better understand what I was going through while he learned to understand his own feelings and emotions about becoming a dad. Women and mothers-to-be have hundreds, if not thousands, of pregnancy books available to them, so it’s about time someone such as Armin A. Brott wrote a book like this for fathers-to-be.
This book giveaway is for The Expectant Father Audiobook, a 9-hour, 10 compact disc-set including a 24-page booklet, and I have two power-packed audio sets to give away.

Believe it or not, expectant fathers have just as many questions, concerns, worries and doubts about pregnancy and parenthood as expectant mothers do. Unfortunately, there aren’t nearly as many resources and helpful literature available for the father-to-be to get advice and helpful tips about pregnancy as there are for the mother-to-be. Most pregnancy books tell women to eat right, exercise, and maintain a low-stress lifestyle, but they offer very little in the way of explanation of how such choices affect the baby, and those books don’t address the concerns of the dad-to-be.
, and is in my opinion the best guidebook for fathers- and mothers-to-be in their journey through the nine months of pregnancy and beyond, far and above any other pregnancy book for men or woman combined. Also included in this edition are chapters on labor and delivery, a chapter on Cesarean sections, as well as a chapter that addresses questions and concerns you may have regarding caring for and getting to know your baby in the first few weeks after bringing him or her home.
If you’re expecting your first child, you’re in for a number of surprises, most of them being good ones. Pregnancy can begin with a wide range of emotions for the father (and the mother), stimulating feelings of both fear and hope, so understanding your feelings during this time can help you begin to see how your role from man to dad is developing, and how you can best stay connected and involved in the pregnancy right alongside the mother. Men who are about to become dads often express concern about their partner’s and the baby’s health, worries about money (How are we going to afford this?), and concerns about what type of father you will be (Will I be a good dad?).
There is discussion on prenatal communication, sex during pregnancy, finding childcare, dealing with late-night wake-ups, changing diapers, dressing babies and young children, sex after pregnancy etc., all from the expectant father’s point of view. Time magazine has penned Brott with the nickname “the superdad’s superdad” and for very good reason.
